My Place: The Cadence Records Story - Part Two: The Rock & Roll Years

Cadence Records was a very successful independent record company formed by bandleader Archie Bleyer in 1952, which released over 100 nationally charted popular music hits during its twelve-year existence.

This week Joel Najman's My Place completes a two-part series with "The Cadence Records Story - Part Two - The Rock & Roll Years", featuring an hour of memorable hit  recordings by the Everly Brothers, Johnny Tillotson, Lenny Welch and others who recorded for Cadence Records.

Joel has been a part of Vermont's radio scene since 1964. He began his career at WIPS in Ticonderoga, New York. In 1965, he moved to WFAD in Middlebury, Vermont, where he attended Middlebury College. Over the years, Joel worked at radio stations WJOY, WQCR, WDOT, WDEV and WVAA where he served at various times as Morning Announcer, Program Director and News Director.
