[Granny Bear]

I never saw his bandstand shows but heard they were legendary. Wish I could have grown up during that era. Where I mostly saw him, other than new years, was when he hosted the Pyramid game shows...always loved watching them. RIP. Great man!

He would play popular songs of the era. Any new song was annouced as such, and a whole room full of teens would dance to it, then rate it from 1 to 5. It was so great!!! I used to have girl friends in, and we'd all dance to the new songs, have pizza and rate them, too. Prank calls, too. Those were difficult when you had to go through a "live" operator.:lmao:

Dick Clark gave me many wonderful memories. I am indebted to him, and wish him a peaceful journey.
