LANE QUIGLEY & THE MEMORY LANE SHOW WITH BITCHIN'
BACK SIDES ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4873
THE MEMORY LANE SHOW PRESENTS BITCHIN' BACKSIDES -
LANE QUIGLEY PLAYS GREAT FLIP SIDES OF TOP 10 HITS
Ever since he started collecting records in the 50's, and long
before he began hosting the original Memory Lane Show in the 60's,
Lane Quigley always admired bitchin' backsides. When he bought
those old 45's, he would flip them over to check out the B-sides,
and often uncovered a hidden gem. On this week's Memory Lane Show,
Lane spins some of his favorite flips. The criteria for this week's
playlist is as follows: the other side was a top 10 hit; the backside
did not make the Hot 100 chart; and most importantly, it's a bitchin'
record. See if you agree that these backsides were all good enough
to have been hits.

MEL VENTURES OF BACK IN TIME SHOW RETIRES FROM
ROCK-IT RADIO.
We are sad to announce the retirement of Mel Ventures
of the Back in Time show has resigned from Rock-it Radio.
Mel announced this past week that due to cut backs at
the station he works at in Fresno, California he has
had to enter other ventures that produced time restraints
and unable to provide programming for Rock-it Radio.
We currently have a couple of DJ's being juried right now
for a replacement and hopefully will find a replacement
for his show soon. As Program Manager Lane Quigley is listening
to perspective new shows.
In the mean time we wish Mel all the very
best in his new endeavors and Good Health.
It should be noted that it is a sad case in Terrestrial
Radio in the U.S. right now as stations are cutting hours
of their staff from full time to part time to save money
on insurance and other additional costs.

Debbie actually joined the Rock-it Radio team way back
in 1998. And quickly took over as head of The venture
of First Nations Broadcasting - The Sister Station of
Rock-it Radio that provided online Native American programming.
As the station became to much of a demand as Bennie Dingo
was already working two jobs at the time.
Today First Nations Broadcasting has gone thru many changes
but still exists today at:
http://www.rockitradio.net/upnorth.html
which is also getting a facelift and up to date this week.
You can check out Debbie's profile in our Staff page at:
http://www.rockitradio.net/dj.html
First Nations Broadcasting also operates a Low Power FM
outlet on the Karluk Indian Reservation on Kodiak Island,
Alaska. That broadcasts Rock-it Radio programs over the
weekend. We thank Debbie for stepping forward. If you

FINDING ROCK-IT RADIO ON THE 'TUNE IN RADIO' CELL PHONE APP.

have had a few requests from listeners that they couldn't find us on
the popular 'Tune in Radio' App. on Android and PC and iphones. Running
a search of 'Rock-it Radio' will actually list 100s of Rock stations.
So, the best way to find us on this very thorough and extensive app.
that I love using myself is - run a search on 'rockabilly' - there you will easily find Rock-it Radio listed. Our Tune in Radio App. webpage is also at:

============================================ Latest openings at Rock-it Radio.
============================================
Rock-it Radio Program Webpage Reminder
Remember,
if the show that you want to hear is getting close to the bottom of the
list of radio shows, you should tune in as soon as you can. These shows
to have a high audio quality require a lot of internet bandwidth and
memory. And currently we can only afford the 30 latest
shows online here at Rock-it Radio. So, when a new show is put online
it knocks the oldest one off the Rock-it Radio archives page. Usually a
show will at least last 16 to 20 days, once it is placed in the
archives.
============================================
