Roc-kit Radio jocks Bill Green and Lane Quigley have been doing battle every year since 1999 with their yearly East/West Showdown here on Rock-it Radio. They return this year for their 17th annual match, presenting an incredible array of song pairing from which you can select, cast your votes and become eligible for our prize drawing at the end of August. The program will be on-line all month, but the polls close at midnight Pacific Time on August 31, 2015.
The Showdown consists of 12 rounds. For each round, Bill Green (a New Jersey native representing the East) presents an East Coast record, and Lane Quigley (a lifelong Californian representing the West) plays a West Coast song. The tunes in each round have some sort of connection. Sometimes the links are obvious, other times not so much. As you listen to the show, Bill and Lane will provide fascinating information about each tune, and they’ll explain the common thread that forms the basis of the match.
As you listen, make note round-by-round of which song you prefer. After you’ve heard the entire program, send us an email showing which song you prefer in each of the twelve rounds. You may choose to copy-and-paste the playlist below and use that as a ballot to check-off your choices; or you can simply list your choices round-by-round. Send your ballot to our new e-mail address: showdownvote@gmail.com . One ballot per listener please. We encourage your comments about the show and why you cast your votes for each round.
The polls will be open for the entire month, and then in early September five lucky listeners will have their ballots selected at random and be awarded some great prizes from the Rock-it Radio Launching Pad, courtesy of Bennie Dingo.
So now it's time to get pencils in hand, go to the Programs Page at www.rockitradio.net/programs.html and click on Show # 5386 . You'll have a blast listening to the program, and your vote will qualify you for our drawing.
