SUMMARY:Dance Franny Dance & other Lost DFW music classics
DESCRIPTION:Love music history?  Radio personality George Gimarc will discu
 ss outstanding songs that have been largely forgotten at 7:30 p.m.\, Thurs
 day\, January 18\, at the Allen Public Library.  \nFrom Big Band to Rockab
 illy to Rock-n-Roll\, George can readily recite the label and year a group
  made a recording and its market value. The 1995 Time Life documentary cov
 ering the growth and development of rock 'n' roll from the early 1950s to
  the mid '90s\, called on George’s expertise for the series. \nIn March 19
 77\, George recognized that that there was a void in the marketplace and a
  yearning for new sounds. He was attracted to the energy and humor of the
  punk rock movement.   A college student then\, George became a disc jocke
 y on the University of North Texas radio station KNTU . \nHis program beca
 me known as The Rock & Roll Alternative \, one of the first regular New Wa
 ve or Punk Radio shows in the United States.  This program was responsible
  for introducing acts such as R.E.M. \, The Go-Go's \, U2 \, The Sex Pisto
 ls \, Devo \, The B-52's \, and hundreds of others to the Dallas-Ft. Worth
  listening audience.  \nIn 1980\, he moved his program to commercial radio
 \, KZEW\, launching a new chapter in radio and musical history. \nLater\,
  George hosted The Lost Tapes on KRLD-AM (1080) where he played obscure re
 cords\, after imbuing his audience with equally obscure nuggets of musical
  trivia. \nThe program will be streamed live on the city of Allen’s ACTV a
 t  ACTV.org  and  youtube.com/AllenCityTV . \nThe library is at 300 N. All
 en Drive. For more information\, call 214-509-4911.\nAllen Public Library\
