MATT THE CAT & THE JUKE IN THE BACK IS BACK! PART I
OF NEW ORLEANS R&B IN ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #4890
New Orleans R&B, Pt. 1
Matt
the Cat returns with the Juke in the Back show with a 3 part series on
the great, influential and infectious music that came out of New
Orleans, one of America's most fertile musical cities. In fact, the
'Crescent City' is
often cited as the birth place of 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 and on part 1,
Matt
The Cat will look at New Orleans R&B from 1940 to 1953,
highlighting records by Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, Dave
Bartholomew, Lloyd Price and Shirley & Lee, just to name a few. Next
week on part 2, we'll look at
the years 1953-55 and then we'll wrap up the series with a look at 1955-57.
So get ready for some real jumpin' musical jambalaya on your source for
vintage Rhythm & Blues on the Juke In The Back.
1. Swanee River Boogie -- Albert Ammons Mercury 1947
2. Where You At -- Lloyd Price Specialty 1953
3. Junker's Blues -- Champion Jack Dupree Okeh 1940
4. True -- Paul Gayten Trio DeLuxe 1947
5. 'Long About Midnight -- Roy Brown & His Mighty Mighty Men DeLuxe 1948

ROCK-IT RADIO 99.1 FM OUTLET IN POST FALLS IDAHO
GOES OUT!
This past week our FM outlet went down. And remains
down. We will be working on it the next week but the
transmitter automatically shuts down after 6 hours of
broadcasting, after a couple of restarts.
Steve Armstrong Station Engineer says hopefully it is
a simple fix of too much heat being generated in the
components of the transmitter and they are shutting off
for safety reasons. If so a simple fix of some more fans
will be used. We will keep you posted.

HEADSTONE FOR ROCK AND ROLL DJ LEGEND
PORKY CHEDWICK
A couple of months ago Rock and Roll Hall of fame
inductee and legendary Pittsburgh DJ Porky Chedwick
passed away. And is in need of a headstone for his
grave.
I received a message from Porky's friend Ed Weigle that
their is a collection being made for his fans and are
very close. Below is the information.
If anyone is interested in contributing money for a grave
stone for my mentor, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame honoree,
PORKY CHEDWICK, do so at any Dollar Bank location.
Just mention The Porky Chedwick Memorial Trust Fund.
It's a regional Pittsburgh area institution, so Google "Dollar Bank"
and give them a call. We're almost there! Many thanks!

ICON DJ CASEY KASEM IN THE NEWS THIS PAST WEEK
This past week the news was all a buzz about 82 year old
DJ Icon Casey Kasem who ran the popular syndicated American
Top 40 back in the 70s that turned also into a TV show in the
80s this past week. He was missing and reports of a
custody battle between his kids and his wife became the news
as Kasem today suffers from Advanced Parkinsons Disease.
One rumor was he was on a Indian Reservation actually not far
from here on the Washington side.
Once the legal system got involved and a Judge demanded
information it was discovered that Casey Kasem was in
Seattle, Washington.
Our hearts go out to Casey and his condition that now leaves
him unable to speak. And hope that his wife and his children
can come to an agreement that will be for the best for Casey and
nothing more.
The Rock-it Radio Launching Pad has one show of Casey's available
on CD going back to 1965 and a show when he was a local Jock
on KRLA in Los Angeles.

ROCK-IT RADIO LOOKING TO RETURN TO SHORTWAVE FOR
20TH ANNIVERSARY
Rock-it Radio began on shortwave back in 1995 via IRRS
in Milan, Italy. For our 20th anniversary we are looking
to return. Though Shortwave is not used to the extent it
was in years past. And even 20 years ago it is used less with
the advent of webradio. But there are still 1000s of hobbyists
that tune in on shortwave and those in remote areas of the world.
We will be actively looking for a station that can relay
Rock-it Radio programming. If you have any suggestions please
contact me at: rockitradio@netzero.net

HOW OFFSHORE PIRATE RADIO CHANGED ROCK AND ROLL
IN THE UK
In the early and mid 1960s The BBC only dedicated a few
hours a week to Rock and Roll music, usually on the weekends.
There was no 24 hour Rock Stations in Great Britain. So, a
Commercial offshore pirate stations like Radio Caroline,
Radio London and Swinging Radio England popped up just anchored
in International waters 12 miles from the Coast. The DJ's lived
aboard the ships and is a wonderful story of Rock and Roll and
Radio history. We have a website dedicated to that short era
of rock history. Come visit it at:

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