April 15, 2016 is the fifth year for Pow Magazine and we're going back in time how Pow started in the late 1980s as a real magazine before I launched the video magazine version on Facebook April 15, 2011. The idea was to reach out to people that used to be involved with the printed version of Pow Magazine (Originally an idea started by Dave Davis from San Jose California) to tell their story on KFJC at Foothill College, Los Altos Hills, California. We called the special, Pow Magazine Anthology - Part 1 and 2. The eight hour special is about the bay area shows, festivals and interviews from the fanzine's archives as we do them today with the new version of Pow. KFJC DJ SAL 9000 and I worked for months to digitize cassettes, research the music, editing audio and video for the documentary and radio program from the Pow Magazine vault for their month of Mayhem extravaganza. A lot of bay area music history was discovered or re-discovered for the radio show. The shows inspired me to start the web version of Pow Magazine through social media since this is what I do for a living in Silicon Valley. It was a natural transition from music to coding to music. There were two specials on separate dates; May 11, 2011, (Part 1, four hours) and May 17, 2011, (Part 2, four hours). We'll post the shows on the same dates they were broadcast five years ago. Enjoy the program and the history of Pow Magazine and bay area music. Dennis Gonzales Founder of POW www.ello.co/powmagazine
