About this audio guide
This guide to Old Town in Orlando steps back into Little Darlin's Rock and Roll Palace, the twenty-four-foot jukebox-shaped venue that Richard Milano and Glen Stetson built in 1986, the same year Old Town itself opened a mile from Disney World's gates. It follows the fifties-era acts who played there and the moment radio legend Wolfman Jack signed on as host, turning the stage into a syndicated television show. Stand under today's Ferris wheel and picture the jukebox door where it once stood.
