MATT THE CAT AND THE JUKE IN THE BACK SHOW
ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #5729 SPOTLIGHT ON
DINAH WASHINGTON PARTS 1 AND 2 OF 5.

PART I - RECORDINGS FROM 1943 TO 1946

Dinah Washington was more than just the Queen of the Jukeboxes
she was Queen Of The Blues and any other prestigious but vacant
title you could pin on her. Dinah was the real deal. As one of the best
selling artists of the 20th Century, Dinah was no pop sensation
or flash in the pan. She was a consummate artist, who developed
a playful, yet serious style of phrasing all her own. This week,
Matt The Cat honors the great Dinah Washington with the
first installment of a multi-part series on the Queen of the Blues

Matt The Cat continues to honor the great Dinah Washington with part 2 of our
multi-part series on The Queen. Part 2 picks up in 1947 and begins
with Dinah's first charting hit for Mercury Records, 
she had a string of hits that peaks in 1948
with Am I Asking Too Much, her first #1 record. Her second #1 comes
in 1949 with the jumpin' Baby Get Lost. We'll also hear Dinah's
interpretation of other classics, I Sold My Heart To The Junkman and
It's Too Soon To know. Matt The Cat focuses on many Dinah Washington
singles that rarely receive airplay these days as well as Long John Blues,
which continues to be heard and make heads turn. We leave Dinah in 1949,

MIKE TAYLOR'S ROCKABILLY SHOW ON ROCK-IT RADIO #5730

Soma Records - Soma Records was an American record label,
based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and owned by wholesale
record distributor Amos Heilicher. The Soma name was
"Amos" spelled backwards. Heilicher, along with his brother
Danny, was also in the jukebox and wholesale record distribution
businesses, and owned the Musicland chain of retail music stores.

Started in 1954, Soma began mainly recording polka music,
old-time country and western and jazz groups. Its first hit
was Bobby Vee's 1959 "Suzie Baby", which was a regional smash
before Liberty Records bought up the master and issued it nationally.

Among hits released by Soma were "Mule Skinner Blues" by The Fendermen
(purchased from Wisconsin's Cuca label), "Liar, Liar" by The Castaways,
"Run, Run, Run" by The Gestures and "Surfin' Bird" by The Trashmen.[1]
The last record was distributed by Soma, but recorded on the Garrett Records
label - George Garrett was an engineer who ran the board on many
Soma recordings at their Kay Bank Studios. Soma/Kay Bank recorded
many local and regional rock groups during the 1960s, including
The Accents, Gregory Dee and The Avanties, The Underbeats, and
The Del Counts, as well as distributing other smaller labels
(such as Garrett, Bangar, Golden Ring and Studio City). Country singer
Dave Dudley's first album, containing his biggest hit
"Six Days on the Road", was released on Golden Ring Records in 1963,
and distributed by Soma until Mercury Records bought the rights.

Heilicher had some ownership in the local Kay Bank Studios,
where most of Soma's recordings were made.

Soma continued releasing recordings until 1967, when the co-owned
record distributing company was merged into Pickwick Records.[2]
The Heilicher brothers exited the recorded
music business in 1977.[1]

or Rockabilly?  And the ability to produce a show
on CD?
We do require a playlist for this newsletter but
your show will stay online for the world for approx.

time and it's gone forever.
If interested check out our Rock-it Radio Team page

==================================================
 AUGUST - 18TH ANNUAL EAST COAST VS. WEST COAST
OLDIES SHOW TO AIR ONLINE FROM AUGUST 1ST TO 30TH

Every year for the last 18 years Rock-it Radio
DJ's Lane Quigley and Bill Green compete with who can
come up with the best oldies songs from opposite U.S. Coasts.

On August 1st the show will be uploaded and Rock-it
Radio Listener's get to vote for the outcome!  Prizes
will be awarded to a lucky few that were drawn after
August 3oth.  Here is the ballot and information
to cut and paste for your vote.

You don't have to wait any longer  it's time for the
yearly bi-coastal battle for oldies supremacy as Rock-it
Radio presents the 18th Annual East/West Showdown. 
Since the late 1990's, Bill Green and Lane Quigley have been
facing off every year to determine whether the East Coast of
the West Coast will prevail.  So far, the East has been
victorious seven times, the West has won eight contests,
and there have been two draws.  Will the East Coast catch
up this year?  Or will the West Coast extend its lead?
Your votes will determine the outcome.

The annual East/West Showdown is always a favorite of Rock-it Radio
listeners.  If you’re new to the showdown, here's how it works.
You will vote on your favorite tunes for each of 12 Rounds.  Lane,
being a lifelong west coast resident, will present twelve rounds
of recordings that represent the west coast.  Bill, a New Jersey
native, will match each round with east coast recordings.
There will be a common link between the east and west tunes from
each round.  You will keep track of your favorites, and then after
you've heard the entire program you will submit your votes via email.

Five lucky listeners will be selected at random at the end of the month,
and they will receive cool prizes from the Rock-it Radio Launching Pad
courtesy of station manager Bennie Dingo.

You may copy-and-paste the playlist below and indicate your round-by-round
preference, or you may simply send an email conveying your selection
for each of the twelve rounds.  Votes must be received by 11:59 pm PDT
on August 31, 2016.  Have fun, and good luck!

Rock-it Radio has a very special way to remember Wolfman Jack. 
Arguably the most iconic of American DJ's.  Come check out the
Rock-it Radio Wolfman Page at:
REMEMBERING OFFSHORE PIRATE RADIO IN THE UK

In the mid 1960s  it was difficult for the youth to actually listen to Rock and Roll in the UK. 
The BBC actually ran only a few hours a weekend to provide the young Brits with this outlet. 
At night during the week they ventured to even tune into Radio Luxembourg to get there fill,
that broadcast rock and pop around the clock. 
To fill this void some venture capitalists decided to bring in commercial radio aboard refitted
radio ships.  And anchor themselves just  off into International waters off the English coast. 
Radio Caroline (named after Caroline Kennedy the U.S. President's daughter at the time)
and  Radio London being the most famous.  Rock-it Radio  has a website dedicated to their ventures 
and also have actual radio broadcasts available of
these offshore pirates. 
We invite you to check them out our webpage at:
http://www.rockitradio.net/pirate.html
FINDING ROCK-IT RADIO ON THE 'TUNE IN RADIO' CELL PHONE APP.
We 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:

link to some of the internet top directories to help you find these stations.
http://www.rockitradio.net/internetradio.html

============================================
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.

============================================
OUR SISTER STATION FIRST NATIONS BROADCASTING.

We invite you to also check out our sister station -- First Nations
Broadcasting. And tune into the rather Cool North of the Yukon and Alaska  
with our very own Debbie Snowdove!


============================================ 
Well that is just about it for this newsletter and playlists of our latest
shows. We hope that you enjoy them.
We will do our best to keep these shows on for at least 14
days and hopefully 21 days.
All the best always,
Bennie Dingo
