MSP Waves Radio : Pennsif On Air : What happened in 1963?

Tomorrow I'm going to be on MSP Waves Radio again with @globocop on his Frequency Waves 432Hz show.

A couple of weeks back Chris ( @globocop ) began a 1960s series on his show focusing each week on one year of the decade.

Last Saturday it was 1962. I happened to have a photo of me from 1962 when I was two years old.

I popped the photo in the Discord chat and Chris asked me to join him on the show.

I had a great time chatting with Chris about the events and the music of 1962.

Now Chris has asked me back on the show as a co-host for a few weeks while we run through the 1960's.

I'm chuffed at this as I will be launching my own Alternative Lifestyle Show on MSP Waves Radio very shortly so this is a great way to build up confidence on air and get into the radio groove.

Tomorrow night the show will focus on the events and music of 1963.

I will be covering the UK angle and Chris will be looking at the year from a US and global perspective.

What's in store for the 1963 show?

You will have to tune in to get the full low-down but here are a few teasers and tempters...

The iconic children's sci-fi show Doctor Who launched on the BBC the day after the assassination of John F Kennedy
A month later the Daleks appeared for the first time
One of the biggest ever robberies in Britain at the time the Great Train Robbery took place in August
The Lava Lamp was invented; the Vauxhall Viva was launched
The Cliff Richard musical film Summer Holiday was released
The Beatles had their first number one single (From Me to You) and their first number one album (Please Please Me).
The Beatles made it over to the USA in November
The Rolling Stones released their first single Come On
Notable births included Julian Lennon and George Michael
Notable deaths included Aldous Huxley (Brave New World) and CS Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia) - both died on the same day as JFK's assassination
Two major films of the year included Cleopatra with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, and the second James Bond movie From Russia with Love with Sean Connery.

There will be a lot more on top of this, as well as all that Chris will be bringing from the USA and around the world.

The Frequency Waves 432Hz show will be on MSP Waves Radio on Saturday from 9pm to 12midnight UTC.

You can listen to the show via the MSP Waves Discord channel, through the MSP Waves website or on the MSP Waves Twitch channel.
