BILLY VERA'S ROCK AND ROLL PARTY ON ROCK-IT RADIO
SHOW #5856 - HEPSTERS OF THE EARLY 60S

Something a little different this time. This show from
January, 1992 features songs Billy remembers from
the New York jazz stations in the early 1960s,
namely Symphony Sid's show. As Sid used to say,
"A little Latin, a little jazz." All the greats of
that pre-British Invasion period are here, from
Sinatra to Ray Charles, Nancy Wilson to Nina Simone.
Instrumentalists like Jimmy Smith, Ramsey Lewis,
Donald Byrd and Count Basie. This is the stuff listened
to by hipsters, back when "hipster" meant someone

DJ SPINNING ROCK BOOGIE AND THE MOVIN AND GROOVIN
SHOW WITH A SPOTLIGHT ON THE UNKNOWN! OF THE 50S & 60S
ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #5860

Join DJ Spinning Rock Boogie for another show in his series "Regional Round Up"
with a slightly different twist to the usual format of featuring a particular
State (s) of America as this show features music from the 50's and 60's
that was recorded all across America on independent labels that weren't pick up
by the national distributers.
Research for this show has shown that some of the featured tracks have both a year
of release and a label, some have just a label with no known year and some
just have the track title and no other information. The common denominator
here is that although year and label may be shown, the label location is
not known. Certainly not to this presenter anyway.

11. Honky Tonk Song - Charly Walker (?) ?
12. Rock And Roll Thunderbird - The Burt Sisters (?) ?

14. Tell Me - Stewart Self & The Gents (63) Starrett
15. Since I Found You - Johnny Garmon & The Shadows (59) Missile
16. You've Got The Magic Touch - Johnny Olen & The Extremes (60) Dee Gee

19. Gals Don't Mean A Thing - Ray Whisnant (62) Radcar
20. Wild Desire - Vinnie Di Sano + R. Thompson & The Cliffsiders (58) Cliffside
21. Sam Sam Sam - Carol Shaw (?) Talent
22. No No Baby - Carmen Davis & The Ernie Freeman Orchestra (?) Middle-Tone

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:

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:

LETTER TO OUR LISTENERS & SUPPORTERS --
WHAT HAPPENED TO OUR
PROGRAMMING SO FAR IN 2017.

Here it is mid March and Rock-it Radio has barely
even gotten off the launching pad in regards to shows!
and those kind enough to order from us our products
items have been delayed at times. Thank you all for your patience
and esp. our DJ's who have stacks and stacks of shows
still waiting to be played here at Rock-it Radio. I should
of kept in more contact with them and our listening audience.
Since the first of the year I have had many health issues
including 4 herniated discs in my back and 3 bouts pneumonia - While
still being a caregiver to my wife. Then at end of January
my wife Jan started getting sick as well.
We pretty much stopped all production and programming of
Rock-it Radio. Heck this is even our first newsletter for 2017.
We pretty much got medical clearance yesterday to ease back into
it so we are finishing up this newsletter and will start producing
many more shows. Our FM outlet is automated so that pretty much remained
operational.
Now is the true test -- Does Rock-it Radio still have a audience and
desire to listen to our shows? We have enough $ to keep things running
for one month only so if you can and still want to support Rock-it Radio,
Now would be the time to do so. We have selected a pretty good show
this month as a free giveaway as well with every order. So if everyone
is ready to rock!!! Rock-it is now ready to Roll!

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

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

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

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!

http://www.rockitradio.net/upnorth.html

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

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
