Retired Teacher trades his chalk  for a Microphone, launches ‘Old Time Rock ‘n Roll’, other ‘oldies’ shows

Sixteen months ago, retired teacher, Lee Douglas began to translate his love for the music of the 50's and 60's lovingly called Oldies, into a new medium, the pod cast.

Just retired from teaching after 35 years, he decided to turn in his chalk for a microphone.

His new show, which he called "Old Time Rock ‘n Roll, would be different in the way it was presented. The usual play lists that are the hallmark of the Oldies AM radio stations were out the window.

His own collection of 30,000 songs would be digitized onto his computer to lay the groundwork for the show. Instead of playing those songs which the oldies lovers had grown tired of, he opened his collection and played the songs that haven't been heard for many years.

Then he would have a theme for each show, Novelties on one, doo wops on another, rockabilly on yet another. Each show replete with a dose of rock history and reminiscences

 He researches each singer and each song to provide background for each show. On November 2006, he went on the air.

By January 2007 he had garnered a listener ship of 25,000 world-wide, with an incredible 25% of his fans in the UK and Australia.

Now in January 2008 Lee celebrated his 100^th show. Just two months ago he celebrated his One Year anniversary. The culmination of the celebration was his live broadcast at Cypress Gardens.

Recorded live at the first Theme Park in the Florida at a “Doo Wop Concert”, the show featured some great legends of the past.

 With the addition of interviews with some of the old time rock n roll greats Old Time Rock n Roll zooms into 2008.

 After the success of OTRNR, Lee decided to expand with more shows like Only One Man’s Opinion and his new show called “Remember When Radio” presenting old radio broadcasts and 40’s music.

“Hail, Hail Rock n Roll”.
