"Dungoen Serenade" is more than just a radio program that features Doo Wop music. Much like Doo Wop is to anyone who listens to it or sings it, it is a labor of love. A love for a musical style that was popular during the 1950's and 1960's, revived during the 1970's and remaining popular during the 70's, 80's and 90's. Those who listen are able to feel the music. People will go out of their way to listen to Doo Wop. Doo Wop is one of the only styles of music people will actively search for...and when they find it - they never let go of it!
