The Record Shoppe

I inherited my love of big band music from my father, Harry. I'm
very happy to be the host of The Record Shoppe every Monday
afternoon from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm, a one-stop Shoppe for great musical
selections including big band, swing, jazz and standards of the late
20's through the early 50's. I'm also a nurse
practitioner with over 25 years of critical care experience. My other
"loves" include my Bouvier des Flandres, "Doogie",
and playing the Scottish bagpipes with Cairngorm Pipes and Drums.

Beboppin' with Dr. Bob

Join me every Monday night for the best of Rhythm & Blues on

we'll also explore gospel groups, solo artists and blues artists
from the same period.

9 PM - 12 AM

Roy North
The Groove
|
Welcome to The Groove, where we'll dig deep into The 60s...and
maybe a little beyond.
The 60s were the ultimate crossroads decade, where the art of the Big
Band reached its crescendo, Jazz continued improvising new
explorations, the Blues finally got paid its dues, Folk actually became
popular and, in the middle of it all, a newly nascent musical style
Rolled onto center stage and Rocked the house, gradually inviting
everyone else under its roof.
The 1960s witnessed one of the greatest transformations in popular
music where the boundary between performer and composer dissolved and
the age of the singer-songwriter was born. And this new breed of
musician, rather than sitting at a piano, stood with a guitar to
amplify their radical expressions of this turbulent time.
Hitch a ride with me as we journey from the unfettered joy of the
Beatles on Ed Sullivan to the shockingly fatal coda of The Stones at
Altamont; from the carefree innocence of just wanting to hold your
hand, to the existential answers that were blowing in the wind;
from the stuttering frustration of my generation, to the hallucinogenic
wonderland of a white rabbit; from the trans-Atlantic competition
that inspired pet sounds and Sgt. Pepper, to Aretha demanding respect
in Satchmo's wonderful world.
So, join me on a trip through peace and love, war and lost innocence...and
maybe, just a little beyond. You dig?

Join me from 12 Midnight to 2 AM every Tuesday morning (Monday night into Tuesday morning) as I feature the great sounds of the 50s through the 80s, as well as some forgotten classics from each decade that terrestrial radio has long since forgotten about...and maybe even a few you have never even heard before.

The Sound Connection
|
My connection with music began in the 1970s. I spent all my time and
money on the latest records. It didn't matter if it was pop, rock,
or soul. I loved it all.
At The Sound Connection, I celebrate the entire spectrum of music. The
hits and near hits, the seldom played songs and forgotten artists, the
deep cuts and flipsides.
My focus is on the 70s with some 80s and 60s mixed in. So join me to
share some good music, wonderful memories and a smile. I hope you
say "I haven't heard that tune in years."

Phil Almquist
Uncle Phil's Late Night Rock
|
I've been addicted to rock music since I was a kid. Blasting
AC/DC on my Walkman during my High School years late at night when
everyone else was asleep was almost a nightly occurrence. The addiction
started because my mom loved music, especially Paul McCartney, and who
doesn't love The Beatles? Even my first name screams rock, since
I'm named after an Everly Brother. So, join me Wednesday nights
from midnight to 3AM as I play rock from the early 50s through the late
80s on Uncle Phil's Late Night Rock on RDV.

area...only on Bill Hower's Music Box.

THE PLACE, a 28 year tradition at RDV is back and better than ever! If

70s, then drop by. On the menu you'll find platters of steaming
Soul, R & B, and Funk during the Hour of Soul Power Plus. Remember
when radio stations weren't defined by genres? You'll be
treated to those instrumentals, pop, and rock songs, from artists that
defined our generation, as well as those one hit wonders which were
readily played on our favorite stations and are now rarely heard
anymore. Toss in some theme nights, music news, occasional guests, and
trivia for an evening that is guaranteed to satisfy. Gerri is a member
of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia and a former disc jockey at
WBUX in Doylestown. Your requests and dedications are welcome, so come

Melissa D.
Rock & Roll Rebel Radio
|
Welcome aboard Rock & Roll Rebel Radio! I'm Melissa D. and will be your conductor every Sunday evening, 10PM‐1AM, where I'll roll us back in time to the roots of rock, taking this crazy train ride from the 1950s through the '70s, and, derailing us off a bit into the '80s.
I open the vinyl vault at the top of the 11 o'clock hour, playing some songs from my personal vinyl collection. Future destination plans include: one hit wonders, a‐z songs/artists, originals/renditions, specific subgenre focused, year or decade specific, "Home Grown Roots", which includes interviews with personal friends who are musicians, and other plans not thought of at the moment.
I have been listening to music for as long as I can remember, growing up during the time when the rock genre tracks were starting to expand, setting the foundation for all the music I listen to today, which is basically everything, but, the 1980s had laid down the groundwork on a specific genre that I always hold near and dear to my heart. That genre is Hard Rock/Heavy Metal.
I got my start in radio through two college radio stations: Blue Colt Radio at Middlesex College, Edison, NJ, and The ARC Radio Club, where I had been Treasurer, then, President, at Arcadia University, Glenside, PA.
After my 2018 Internship at Central New Jersey's Magic 98.3 and sister station, 1450 WCTC Talk Radio (Beasley Media Group), I was hired in the Promotions Department for both stations, and, as an On‐Air Personality for Magic.
We all know what happened in 2020, but I am a firm believer in everything happens for a reason, and I am beyond blessed to be working here at WRDV/WLBS‐FM and playing music that YOU want to hear!
ALL ABOARD!
