Jazz, The Blues, R&B and Rock n' Roll. While New Orleans
certainly had its share of influential talent, from Louis
Armstrong and Paul Gayten to Fats Domino and Dr. John, it's
hard to give one single region all the credit. The music that
flowed from this fruitful ground is definitely something special

1953 to 1955, highlighting records by Professor Longhair, Fats
Domino, Dave Bartholomew, Lloyd Price, Shirley & Lee, Eddie Bo
and many more. Next week on part 3, we'll wrap up our series with
a look at New Orleans R&B from 1955-1957. So get ready for some
real jumpin' musical jambalaya on your source for vintage Rhythm
& Blues on the Juke In The Back.

Rockabilly bands looking for airplay
If you or know someone that would like airplay on Rock-it Radio we invite you to submit your press kits to Rock-it Radio. Our website for further information is: http://www.rockitradio.net/airplay.html
============================================ 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.
============================================
