Bob StroudWeekdays 10am - 3pm
An acknowledged music junkie, Stroud's non-radio musical past
includes playing his grandmother's Perry Como 78's on her
Victrola in 1957; buying his first four 45's in 1962; getting
his first transistor radio in 1963; buying "Meet the Beatles"
in 1964; and fronting an 11-piece rock and R&B band called
Rockestra from 1990 – 2000. In late 2003 Bob was contacted by
Cryan' Shames percussionist, Jim Pilster, aka, J.C. Hooke, and
invited to become the new lead singer of this legendary Chicago
band. When Bob bought his first
Cryan' Shames record at 15, he
never dreamed he'd join the band at 51.
