Harmonica Lads on WLW

Some 70 years ago on February 22 1937, powerful Cincinnati radio station WLW promoted the Harmonica Lads via the Crosley Radio News Service. This weekly picture service for radio editors featured performers on the Crosley stations: 500kw WLW 'the Nation's Station', sister station WSAI and experimental shortwave station W8XAL.

Top Row [L-R] are Saul Weber, Will Diederich, Carl Freed, Mickey Rizzo and Dom Marches. Below are Michael Cugley [L] and Byron Bouchard [R].

Radio Heritage Foundation projects and activities connect radio, popular culture, history and heritage.

The charitable trust has been giving a voice to those involved in radio via our website since 2004 and will continue to do so.

We are inclusive of all visitors, regardless of race, color, sex, age, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, or disability and aim to connect people of all ages and cultures who love radio

We welcome a sense of wonder from the joy of listening via radio, and from memories retold for the enjoyment of all generations.

We prefer to use environmentally sustainable goods and services where we can afford to, and we provide free community access worldwide to our collections, published research, preservation and promotion activities in a completely paper-free environment.
