Ah, wedding songs. The perfect audio track for that perfect moment in your life. And the organist is playing… Here comes the bride… last chance to hide… But what if you’re approaching the wedding with equal portions of apprehension, nausea, regret and unrest? What if the girl you loved is walking up the aisle with…

Want to listen to some great music? Here’s ten songs all stitched together with a common theme. On an online radio station that I call “K-Chuck Radio”!
K-Chuck Radio: Rocking Central New York
On a previous episode of K-Chuck Radio, someone commented on whether I was a fan of radio station WOUR – because I went to school at Hamilton College in the mid-1980’s and that I referenced two artists that got tons of play on WOUR. Actually, I treated WOUR and WRCK (Rock 107) with equal amounts…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Forgotten Hits of the 1980’s
Here’s another batch of hits that, no matter how long you listen to your local oldies station, they aren’t getting any airplay. And of course, this is despite the fact that they were actually decent radio hits at the time of their release. But I suppose when your playlist requires you to play Blackstreet’s “No…

Imagine if your country was bombarded by the two strongest musical influences of the 1960’s – the Beatles and Motown. You’re hearing “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” and “You Can’t Hurry Love” on the radio every 20 minutes or so, and you form a band and you either cover these classics, or you write your…

These are the oldies that the oldies stations aren’t playing any more. …
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: Get into the Northern Soul Groove
How does one explain the musical phenomenon known as Northern Soul? Northern Soul music can best be described as danceable, Motown-ish tracks from the 1960’s and 1970’s that regularly pack the Northern England dance clubs. These are songs that are extremely rare – some of them were pressed in limited quantities and never sold well…

For the longest time, the Capital District’s ABC affiliate in the 1970’s, WAST, wouldn’t show American Bandstand on Saturday afternoons. Hard to believe, isn’t it? Well, it’s true. I don’t really remember what they DID show at that time, but it was probably some program that made money for the local station. But while we…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: 70’s Smooth Songs
What I’m playing now are some easy listening classics, the kind of music you heard back in the day when WGY actually played mellow Top 40 music. Well, so did WROW, inbetween tracks from the Ray Conniff Singers and the 101 Strings. But I digress. So with that in mind, let me blast you back…
Read MoreK-Chuck Radio: music from my high school days
What I’m playing now are the songs and grooves that I heard in high school. These were the tracks that we purchased at Blue Note Record Shop or Midland Records or Record Town or Just A Song. Granted, you’re not going to hear too many of these tracks on your local oldies station – which…
