“Rollerdream” – My Bay City Rollers Tribute
Here’s a 51-plus-minute audio jigsaw tribute to the Bay City Rollers, whose records I listened to as a kid and who I also dressed up as for the Jackling Elementary Halloween Parade in Oct. ’78 (see above). I call it “Rollerdream.” Cirque du Soleil will please contact me in private about using this for a Las Vegas Beatles Love-style extravaganza.
Why are there snippets of songs by other artists? 1) The station I aired it on (KOOP) had rules about not playing the same artist more than 3 times in a row 2) They serve as context and commentary, from a personal view, about the Rollers’ influences and times.

Genius mash up of the Bay City Rollers. Brought back many plaid trimmed memories. I also appreciate the personal reference from the grade school Halloween carnival. Few bands could make the girls scream for them and also get the boys to dress like them.
