From 1940 to 1970; Cincinnati overflowed with musical opportunities. Hank Williams recorded his hit "Lovesick Blues." Andy Williams; Rosemary andBetty Clooney; and Doris Day appeared regularly on WLW Radio; which also broadcast Boone County Jamboree. Then came the network television showMidwestern Hayride and stardom for Kenny Price. Meanwhile; King and Fraternity Records released hundreds of hits for James Brown; Hank Ballard and the Midnighters; Cowboy Copas; Lonnie Mack; and the Casinos. In the late 1960s; the Lemon Pipers sang "Green Tambourine;" and rock bands ruled Coney Islands Moonlite Gardens. It was a wild; incredible ride while it lasted; and it left such an indelible impression that today Cincinnati is remembered as one of Americas top music capitals.

My father worked 21 years at the mill and retired from there in 1981. John Anicics book brought back a flood of memories for me as well as good information. I am a railroad hobbist and I am slowly modeling an N-Scale Steel Mill. After acquiring Mr. Anicics book I have almost enough photographs and other information to base my small railroad upon The Kaiser plant. Great book for those interested in California industrial history. WWII preparedness. steel production. on and on.I would recommend it to everyone that may have the slightest interest.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
