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.

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] 1.

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.

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

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.

Rockabilly bands looking for airplay

Come tune into the World on your computer! 1000s of stations around the world now broadcast online. We have a 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
