The icon in the image to the left was one of the instigators of the
rock and roll era that began over half a decade back. Jon "Bowzer" Bauman is known as one of the
founding members of Sha Na Na, a group that would become a television staple in
the name of variety TV and a true torch bearer to the beacon of light that is rock and roll.
Bowzer is taking his love of 50s and 60s music to TV once
again as host of the MY MUSIC special, “50s and 60 Rock Rewind,” on PBS. The show highlights original sounds of the American rock and pop scene with all archival
footage of the hit makers in their prime.
All music lovers are invited to check out this program, which offers exclusive footage, rare interviews, and vintage photos from an era that continues
to influence people and artists today.
So what’s this PBS special for? To keep the oldies but
goodies alive! Every month MY MUSIC offers a new set of unique songs to fill
your musical library. Each show is hosted by an icon of the times and just to
give you a hint, the next host will be the legendary Adam West - THE ORIGINAL BATMAN!
Anyone can be a sponsor of the program and get rare gems for
free! Get inspired or just get educated on the musical masters that came before
us.
The PBS special 50s
AND 60s ROCK REWIND (MY MUSIC)
From the R&B pioneers to the teen crooners, the 1950s
and early 1960s were an exciting musical time for the youth of America. In this
all new MY MUSIC special, the spotlight shines on the original sounds of the
American rock and pop scene. Fast songs, slow dances and the backbeat were all the rage as
teenagers tuned in to their radios while they “readied for their steadies,” and
went from pony tails to senior proms. The age of innocence and adolescence
created rock-and-roll’s first revolution.
