Welcome to Our Generation Radio

New Waves / Old Times

Are you a Baby Boomer, part of that wonderful wacky generation born between the mid 40s and the mid 60s? Seventy-six million of us were born in America alone. We are a unique generation with our own unique tastes, especially in music. We like music from many genres - rock, classic rock, oldies, disco R&B, Soul, you know what we mean - music from the malt shop 50's to the present day. But music tuned to our ears! Are you tired of gangster rap, hip hop, too much head-banging heavy metal? Then you have found the right place. You have found it. Home at last.

What's New (February 7, 2010)

Boomer Music and the Super Bowl

Ever since Janet Jackson’s infamous “Wardrobe Malfunction” during the 2004 Super Bowl half time show in Houston, aging, venerable rock and rollers have taken over the stage during the grand finale of football. What! You say! How can that be? Sure – just follow through with me for a minute. Let me see now… 2005 - ALLTEL Stadium, Jacksonville, Paul McCartney (born June, 18 1942) – Check! 2006 - Ford Field, Detroit, The Rolling Stones (Mick Jagger born July, 26 1943) – Check! 2007 - Dolphin Stadium, Miami, Prince (born June 7, 1958) – Check! 2008 - University of Phoenix Stadium, Tom Petty (born October 20, 1950) & the Heartbreakers – Check! 2009 - Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Bruce Springsteen (born September 23, 1949) and the E Street Band – Check! 2010 - Sun Life Stadium, Miami Gardens, The Who (Roger Daltrey born March1, 1944) – Check! Prince was the youngest when he took the stage at age 48! Yup, these artists are all boomers or pre-boomers whose audience was the boomers. Looks like glitter, flash and public exposure has given way to sex, drugs and rock and roll.

Last of the NFL Boomer Players

The only boomer left in the NFL was Jeff Carney of the Saints who is 45. He was released in December. There are only 6 other players over 40 who played in 2009. Jeff Feagles, New York Giants, born March 7, 1966, Matt Stover, Indianapolis Colts, born January 27, 1968, Matt Turk, Houston Texans, born June 16, 1968, Brett Favre, Minnesota Vikings, born October 10, 1969, John Kasay, Carolina Panthers, born October 27, 1969 and Junior Seau, New England Patriots, born January 19, 1969. At least one of these (Farve) is retiring this year. But we baby boomers can rejoice in that at least the half time show is “owned” by us. Long live Rock and Roll!

Special OGR Bar and Grill

On Friday, February 12th, the OGR Bar & Grill is going to feature a musical game show. DJ Diane will let the music play for a short then say "GO”! The audience member who gives her the artist & song title 1st after I say GO gets points. Test your knowledge of 70s and 80s music. Tune in and join the action in the chat room Friday night and compete for the bragging rights.

Rick Wrigley

Do you remember sock hops, malt shops, high school proms, "spin the bottle", making out on the back seat of that 65 chevy at the drive in movies? How about Woodstock, "The Summer of Love" 1967 - was that really over 40 years ago? Or are you a child of the 70's or 80's when Disco, John Travolta, big haired arena rock were the thing?

Is this the music that you miss on radio these days? OurGenerationRadio brings it all back and more. We play the soundtrack of your lives from the 50's to today, with a twist. We don't believe that all music turned bad when the calendar entered the '90s. There is new music that appeals to our ears. And you will hear it all right here.

We LOVE Rock and Roll but we also like Jazz, Blues, Soul, and even a little country. Finally, here is a station that makes you glad there is an Internet.
