from Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast · host Jumpin' John McDermott and Bill Price
Welcome to Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and I am calling this podcast episode the "Pittsburgh Music Scene From 1968 to 1974". We are going to drift back through the fog of time - back some fifty years or so - and test our fading memories. Since I essentially left the Pittsburgh area in 1968 to go to college, I need to contact someone who was still in Pittsburgh during those years. His name is David Shannon, and he has promised to share some of what he remembers of the Pittsburgh music scene during the late 1960's and early 1970's.So I managed to catch up with David Shannon. We live in separate parts of the country, so I have created a compilation of a couple phone conversations that we had in October and November 2024. What follows is one man's perspective on the Pittsburgh music scene from 1968 to 1974.We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.
