The station room had been built into a long square theater type structure to include a balcony that hung off the wall at one end. This provided for live audiences that were popular in the fifties. Bobbysoxers gathered there listening to their favorite deejays play rock and roll sung by Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, and the Big Bopper. The speakers boomed with the music that had pony-tailed teenagers in poodle skirts dancing The Bop in the aisles. Today, those same teenagers would be grandmothers with only their dusty memories of the balcony of tiered seats that hung there like ghosts from out of the past. At times, it was almost possible to see a wraithlike audience gathered in the shadows, with eerie sounds of music and chatter floating among the dust and dancing cobwebs.
