However, he was a musical sponge, picking up vocal and performance tips from blues shouters Billy Wright and Roy Brown and some piano licks from the young Esquerita. He landed his first record contract with RCA Victor in late 1951 and cut 4 singles that didn't go anywhere for the major label. Then in early '53, Richard was on Don Robey's Peacock label where he didn't fare any better. But through all the disappointing record sales, Little Richard was building a style that would burst open when he cut Tutti Fruitti for Specialty Records in September of 1955. Matt The Cat digs out Little Richard's long forgotten humble beginnings and spins them this week on the Juke in the Back show! 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons â€" Mercury 1947 2.

| 30 YEARS AGO - THE REAL STORY OF THE CRASH OF RICKY NELSON'S PLANE IS REVEALED AND REMEMBERED Tracy Nelson the Daughter of Rock / Rockabilly Legend Ricky Nelson, who happens to be a friend of mine on Facebook posted the actual account and I wanted to share it with all of our Listeners. Hard to believe it has been 30 years ago December 31, 1985 since the fatal crash of his plane. Here is what she shared. It's been 30 years to the day and still people have the wrong information about what happened on my dad's plane. I'm going to write about it extensively at some point, but here is the short version. The band was on its way from Alabama to Texas, to play a gig in Dallas. The plane was an old DC3 that had belonged to Jerry lee Lewis, my father who hated to fly his entire life called it "the flying bus" because it was so slow. The butane heater aboard had been a pain in the ass since my dad got the plane, it malfunctioned all the time and had cost the band a spot at Farm Aid when it completely broke down on the runway. The pilot knew it was acting up that New Year's, and my dad got commercial tickets at the airport for everybody to make it to Dallas on time. He was talked into getting on the plane, however, by his manager who was in LA, known here as The Scumbag, who told him "don't worry, they'll fix it in Dallas." (The Scumbag made it a point to never fly on the plane, btw, and who also had a key man life insurance policy on my father, but that's a whole other saga.) Midair it started to get cold, someone asked to turn on the heater, Fergie (co-pilot) said no, only on the ground. Brad (pilot) said "what the hell I'll do it", and proceeded to the back behind the luggage to the heater with a wrench. He did some stuff to the heater, yelled to Fergie to turn it on. Fergie again said no. Brad went back to the cockpit and turned it on himself. Immediately a spark hit the carpet under the heater in the back of the plane where fuel had been leaking because of a loose cap that hadn't been tightened properly during regular maintenance. Smoke filled the plane and trailed behind it as it descended and tried to land. They were over DeKalb Texas, a rural area, and tried to land on a highway, but 2 cars stopped instead of pulling over as the plane came toward them. Brad was forced to take it around again and tried to land in a field, which he did, but the plane hit a ditch and a tree and one wing exploded before the plane rolled to a stop, burning. The pilot and co-pilot (Fergie was horribly burned, he had been using the brake system through the flames around his legs,) escaped through the high cockpit window, but no one else was able to get out. As they crawled away from the plane, the pilot kept saying:"don't tell them about the heater." My father, his girlfriend Helen, Bobby Neal, Ricky Intveld, Andy Chapin, Pat Woodward and Clark Russel were all found trying to get out through the door to the cockpit. My father was lying on top of Helen, arms out, as if trying to protect her. I heard about the accident on TV, one of those "special bulletins", making it not just horrifying, but surreal too. And they showed footage of that damned plane smoldering every night on the news, talking about drugs, for an entire year- no matter that the NTSB and the FAA both gave press conferences saying it was the heater. When the LA Times finally retracted and apologized, it was more than a year later, in a paragraph, on page 11. When the accident happened it was like that entire chunk of my life just disappeared, no one who really knew him to mourn with because all of Pop's closest friends were on the plane with him. I can't believe it's been 30 years. James Intveld and I always make contact on this night, it's a ritual. His brother Ricky was only 21. All around people are celebrating, getting smashed, dancing, watching the ball drop in Times Square, but I just want this night, every year, to be over. When I went to my dad's house afterward, there was a piece of paper with his writing taped to the wall of his bedroom. It said: "The Creative Soul, May It Ever Fly Free." click on this link, it's my favorite song of his: https://youtu.be/N0kyXoxT87M ===================================== |
| ROCK-IT RADIO MOVES FORWARD INTO 2016 THANKS TO IT'S SUPPORTERS. As we enter our 21st year here at Rock-it Radio I want to Thank everyone that started coming forward towards the end of November and the month of December and allowing us to continue by your support. When sales of our vintage shows plummeted in September to November. I was having doubts if we could keep the Rock-it flying to 2016. Many of you jumped forward as we are publicly supported and purchased from the Rock-it Radio Launching Pad at http://www.rockitradio.net/store.html and our Ebay Store at: http://stores.ebay.com/Rock-it-Radio-Store And now here we are as we prepare to make many more shows for you for 2016 and a pledge to you to get more vintage radio shows available to remember your favorite DJ's by. We also have our DJ's here to thank! No one gets a paycheck here and we all do it for the love of the music and keeping this music alive. So, this year like all the other years I am very thankful for all of you! Here is to another Rockin' year for 2016! And I really do hate to say it - it's my least favorite thing to do really! But please remember when you can we are supported by you and do have expenses! So, we hope that we can provide you with products you are interested in to help keep us going. all the very best!

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 |

============================================
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
