A lot of details already has been completed for the much-anticipated, upcoming unveiling of the life size bronze statue of CKLW Music Director and industry pioneer, Rosalie Trombley.
We are looking forward to seeing all our friends and CKLW fans alike to be there, for the public ceremony of the unveiling of the bronze statue, by local artist, Donna Mayne, in downtown Windsor!
Date: Sunday Sept. 17th, 2023
Time: Morning time – 10:00 A.M. (SO YOU WON’T MISS IT, PLAN ARRIVING EARLIER BEFORE THE UNVEILING, TIME INDICATED!)
Location: Riverside Dr. E – across from Caesars Windsor.
The Big 8 CKLW Reunion will follow immediately following the ceremony at the St. Clair Centre for The Arts in Skyline Ballroom A. 201 Riverside Dr. W. – a short walk from Rosalie’s statue.
The reunion is open to all radio fans and former staffers to mingle, meet and greet and get photos. It will be a casual gathering with no itinerary – or background music etc.
It will be a opportune time to chat and share stories in remembering the legacy of Rosalie Trombley. The event is free — thanks to our friends at St. Clair College Centre for The Arts.
The Chimczuk Museum located inside the Art Windsor Essex (formerly the Art Gallery Of Windsor) building at 401 Riverside Dr. W. will be featuring a several month’s long gallery display honouring Rosalie Trombley featuring personal mementos, gold record awards and audio visual elements.
The display expected to open Sunday Sept. 17th at 2:30 p.m. and be open daily during regular Museum hours.
So won’t you join us, tomorrow. Be there! Tomorrow, Sunday, Sept. 17th in Downtown Windsor. Hope to see you there! — Charlie O’Brien

RECORD WORLD became one of three weekly music trade magazines (Billboard; 1894, Cash Box; 1942, being the other two) when it began its publication in 1946 as Music Vendor. The MV title was changed to Record World, April 1964, and so remained under that banner until it ceased publication, April 1982.
