Bill Pickey 81 Years Old
I have always loved music and group harmony "aka" Doo Wops have all ways
been my favorites. I grew up in a small New Jersey town call Matawan Twp.,
now known as Aberdeen...... I am the oldest of 4 born in South Amboy and
lived in Perth Amboy until we moved to Matawan in the 50s.....Growing up my
favorite group was The Four Seasons and The Duprees..... I learned to play
the guitar at a early age and the first song I ever learned how to play and sing
was "You Belong To Me" . I loved to inmate Elvis and Roy Orbinson and may I
say I could hold a tune pretty good. I had a garage band and we were pretty
good too.I went to Matawan Regional High Shcool and could remember singing on the
corner everyday or almost everyday with Richie Rosato a friend until this day.
Well I went on to join The Marines in 1969 and he went on to sing lead for The
Duprees..... They were good times back then.... The dances, the groups, the
local fairs, life was great.It was not until about 4 years ago I went into music by being a DJ on an
Internet Radio Show, and I still do a show on Destination Doo Wop Network
and also on WRBG FM a Delaware Station..... I love bringing fond memories
back to listeners through great songs from yesteryear. I love music and music
is the inernational language for words such as love, peace, and great
memories.If you get a chance please tune in and send me an email tell me what you think
of the show..... Take care enjoy the site and may the love of sweet music
always be with you.....
Yours In Harmony Always
