Flashback To The "Summer Of Love"

This summer marks the 50th anniversary of the famed San Francisco “Summer of Love”.  Some of the iconic images we associate with that counter-culture summer; long rock jams, psychedelic light shows, posters and dancing were developed right here in Nevada at the Red Dog Saloon home of “The Charlatans”, the band that started the sound of the summer of love.  Danna O’Connor has details.

Danna has been with KUNR Public Radio since 1995. She started as a weekend announcer, then full time jazz host and in 2008 became the local host for NPR’s Morning Edition.
