The perfect escape back to yesteryear, these stories will provide insight for both young and old, and perhaps jog your memory about the fun times you experienced because of this era of music, which continues to be embraced today. “I have met many people in the field of Rock & Roll these past 60 years, but no one has impressed me more when it comes to reflecting on the history of this music genre. Tom Locke is a true Rock & Roll historian who really knows the detailed history of the evolution of this great music. He has written a book that is worth its weight in Solid Gold." – Mr. Music, Norm N. Nite, legendary Deejay & Author Tom Locke lives in Vancouver, B.C., Canada, spending the majority of his time writing and executive producing in the entertainment industry. Over the past 25 years, Tom has also studied and consulted on the impact of digital technology in business. It was during this period of time that he introduced the online world to his music creation, “Moments In Time.” He has a passion for music. Writing this book was a natural for him as he was weaned on the music of the 50s, 60s, and 70s while growing up in Toronto. The book became a reality thanks to the online listening audience at Treasure Island Oldies, who encouraged Tom to share his impeccably researched music segments that he has produced on a weekly basis for this show since August 2000.
