“Here’s What Our Listeners Have To Say”

 

 

For years now, I’ve lamented the downfall of AM and FM radio.  50’s music disappeared from the airwaves ten or fifteen years ago, and now it looks like 60’s music is doing the same.  So imagine my happy surprise when I started 2013 by discovering Deep Oldies! I have around sixteen thousand songs in my ITunes library, mostly from the 50’s and 60’s.  These are my alltime favorite decades for music.  But I’ve only been listening to your station for an hour, and I’ve already heard two or three songs I’ve never heard before!  Needless to say, I love the mix of music, and I like that there’s an actual person playing it!  I didn’t realize how much i’d missed the “human” aspect of deejays until I started listening to this station.

If I could have created my own oldies station, this would be it!  Now, if the station puts on a “top 1000” oldies countdown for Memorial Day or july Fourth, it will make my life! 🙂

Thank you for a phenomenal listening experience!

The song “Friends” by Feather: any idea as to the release date of that one?  You don’t have to be any more specific than the year.
Love the station.  Am going back to the page to donate now.thanks,

Berton Averre

From Charmi: Thank you for your e-mail, Berton!!!  So glad you’re enjoying Deep Oldies! We have Feather – Friends listed as coming out in 1970. Thank you very much for your kind contribution!!!

You guys should try this. On my iPod I have a category I call “The Original & the Cover” What it is, is I’ll play the original version of a song and then the cover version. I had a friend who thought that the Bay City Rollers version (Ha) of “I only want to be with you” was the original version of that song and then I played the Dusty Springfield version of the same song and it blew her away. Educating your listeners is a good thing. Thanks for the heads up I’ll be listening for GMMSOY during your 1:00 p.m. broadcast. It’s nice to have you people there. Keep up the good work!

You people are really good. Just when I thought I was going to give up on radio along came “Deep Oldies Radio” to change my mind. I have a request for you. I want to hear (I never heard it before) the 1962 original version of James Ray’s hit “I’ve got my mind set on you” if you have it in your record library…now that’s a deep oldie. I only know the George Harrison version. Thanks BB

Hi, I’m really enjoying your station. I just found it a few days ago, and I’m very  impressed!May I make two requests in one email? If so, could I hear:
Beechwood 4-5789 by the Marvelettes, and I Left My Heart in the Balcony, by Linda Scott?
Thanks so much, and keep up the great work!

found your station searching for oldies on my Roku box using the TuneIn app. What a great find! I love what you play.  I’ve discovered music I’ve never heard before, and deep cuts. I’m glad that you delve into the 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond. Keep up the good work, I’ll keep listening.

I’ve already made one contribution and will continue to do so in the future. It’s wonderful to hear tunes I’ve not heard in 40 years instead of lots of them that I haven’t heard in 40 minutes! How about some Arbors in your playlist? Specifically, “The Letter”, a great groovy psych interpretation of the Box Tops hit song. Also… some tunes by The Merry Go Round, which was Emitt Rhodes group.

Thanks!

Had to work overnight shift all this week; you’ve kept me going! I’m here until 3 AM MST Saturday! Can we hear anything off “Road To Freedom”? Wikipedia says its ROCKS; I’ve never heard it but I love Alvin Lee, Steven Winwood and everyone else on the album. Talk about a Super Group! Alvin Lee;Mylon LeFevre; George Harrison; Steve Winwood, Jim Capaldi, Mick Fleetwood and Ron Wood. Wow!

Been listening to you this afternoon, great line up of tunes! Thanks Gary for recommending this! Do you take requests? How about Harvest Moon by Neil Young, and Don’t Stand So Close To Me by the Police? This reminds me of the early days of FM radio in the 1960’s, when you could tune in to KPPC in Pasadena and listen to great music that the AM stations would never bother with. Keep up the good work!

Love your station! I have heard so many songs that I haven’t heard in years and also quite a few I have never heard before.Now this will probably stump you.The Animals had an album come out late 60’s maybe early 70’s don’t remember the album name but there was a version of John Lee Hookers Maude and also Gin House Blues, any idea if they have been redone digitally and also if I didn’t stump you could you play those two songs? I have the album and not sure where I got it probably in a box of records I found at a flea market or garage sale. It is in pretty rough shape. It did not have the cover just the album.Thanks and keep up the good music, Jake

I Just discovered your station a few weeks ago. I listen 3 or 4 nights a week on the streaming channel via tunein app on the iphone. Usually late night with Mariah. It’s great that you play some rare songs from my school days I had forgotten until I hear them here. And strange tracks I never knew that are fun too.

Thanks!

A station that plays PNut Butter’s “Please Don’t Ever Leave Me” and tracks from the Mascot Records Anthology CD in equal rotation with the classics of the golden age of radio get’s my undivided attention! The BEST of the 50’s, 60’s and 70’s is RIGHT HERE! Congratulations to Andy Olson and his great crew for their outstanding work!

    I am the station manager of a West Virginia high school radio station that specializes in oldies during each weekday. I discovered your station on ‘radiodiscussions.com,’ and am absolutely loving it! So many ‘oh wow’ songs! Please keep doing what you do so well!

  6. ian Godfrey says:

    I’ve only read the first half dozen commentsand fully go along with the positive reaction. . I’ve been listening every day for about a week, sometimes for severaol hours and have never used the shazam app so much! The problem is that I switched on about 14.00 GMT and the audio was cutting out every few seconds, a fairly common internet radio problem. Hopefully it’ll bsorted out pretty soon.

    • ian Godfrey says:

      I didn’t include name and area yesterday. It’s Ian Godfrey from SW London. The time now is nearly 22.000 GMT and the problem is still there, very slow loadup and cutting out after a few seconds.

  7. Double Chubbychuck says:

    Excellent. Fantastic music. So many great memories. Thank you for schooling me with your musical knowledge.

  8. Double Chubbychuck says:

    Fantastic. I have learned so many great songs. Thanks for the musical knowledge you share.

  9. Love linking up to the oldies. WAYYYYYY better than the local (Portland & Seattle) oldies and Classic Rock stations!

  10. Pete says:

    Great stuff! Lovin’ it!

  11. Steve says:

    I’ve been streaming your station on my I-phone for nearly three years. I love to listen while I’m at work. Seddenly and unexpectedly strting February 10th 2016 all I get is dead air when I tune in. I received your station threw Tune In Radio. Any suggestions at what might be the problem and the solution. Deep Oldies has had a great stream the whole time I’ve been listening and this was very surprising. Thank You and I hope I can get your wonderful station back again.

      I’ve had the same problem when I listen from a Tune-In Radio app. I can still get it by using Nordex Radio app. My problem with Tune-In started around the same time as yours.

      • The Caveman says:

        We are limited to what we can post by our licensing agreements. We do offer a “Now Playing” link on our webpage which shows what’s currently playing and the previous 20 songs I believe. Go to menu at the top of this screen (or any page on our website) and click the “Now Playing” item. That will take you there.

        The Caveman, Gary

  13. Lee Roth says:

    I’m connecting to server via Tune-In, but no audio. I hope it’s not due to lack of cash… if so, I guess I failed to donate often enough.

    If D.O. becomes subscription only that’s fine with me, I will sign up!

      thanks for listening and the support. The are no plans to go subscription. not sure why you had no audio. Checkout our new website we added an embedded player in the webpage and also added a link to go thru StreamLicense website. Hope that solves your problem

  14. Steve says:

    Besides any reception problems I’ve had, I love your station’s format. I hear great songs by artists I like that I’ve never heard before. And I thought I’d heard it all! Keep up the great work.

      Steve,
      Thank you for your support, thats why we call ourselves “Deep Oldies”. 🙂 keep rockin, hoppin and beboppin

  15. Marion Champredon says:

    I have discovered this fabulous radio not long ago, and to be honest, it’s now my favourite ! It’s good to know that the music of the 50’s and 60’s still lives !
    I wish you the best for the future of the radio !
    With love from France, Marion.

    • The Caveman says:

      Marion,

      We love our European listeners, you are the best. Thanks for tuning in and the support. It’s my favorite station as well.

  16. Ed Jervis says:

    Absolutely wonderful. Your choice of music beats the other “oldies” stations hands down. The only thing that bugs me is the obnoxious segues between songs. Your music is good enough that every song deserves to be completed, with a second for the listener to say, “That was great. I haven’t heard that in years.” The segues are like nails on a blackboard to me. Sorry for being a bit anal. You’re still the best.

    • The Caveman says:

      Ed,

      Thanks for the kind words and support. We try very hard to be “The Best”, it is our goal. Question, was there a particular song you felt we cut off or is it the crossd fade in general you dont like? curious.

      The Caveman, Gary

  17. Edd says:

    I’ve been a fan of Deep Oldies for a few years. I enjoy hearing the “marginal” oldies that too many oldies stations overlook as well as hearing some great songs that I missed. The variety is fantastic.
    But I find that I don’t listen as often anymore for the same criticism Ed made May 27: the segues cut off TOO MUCH. Example from today (June 12) a good chunk of the ending of Sinatra’s “My Way.” During today’s listening, I’d say almost half the songs suffered from the overzealous seguing, especially those with cold endings.
    Otherwise, it’s a perfect stream to add some music to my day!

    • The Caveman says:

      As mentioned in the previous comment, we are always reviewing issues that may exist within our system, thanks for the feedback and for being a dedicated listener. Because of the additional level of complications by being an online streaming station we sometimes have to resolves issues on a song by song basis, we will address this.

  18. James says:

    Hi Folks
    Great Job all around. This is a request…a big one but worth it. Your channel plays so many non hit (a good thing) songs, there are many times I would love to know what band/song/artist I am listening to. If you could include titles/artist on the screen as songs change it wound strengthen the experience for all im sure.

    Here in Detroit we don’t have an oldies channel anymore! It switched formats like 10 years ago, and no longer plays 50s or 60s.. I was heartbroken.. I can sometimes get an Oldies channel from Windsor, Ontario, Canada, but it doesn’t come in that well, and Canada has a law that you have to play so many Canadian artists every hour.. Long story short, I’m loving the deep cuts! Keep ’em coming!

    Generally great job. You just played “Hippy Hippy Shake”, by the Swingin’ Blue Jeans. Either you played their re-record on purpose You should check that: it wasn’t the original.
