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

Dear Rock-it Radio Listeners and Supporters, I hate to be such a flake and make all of your go through this, but the fact is once after we announced our Shut down, the orders have poured in, But mostly just enough to cover final expenses, then a gentleman by the name of Jim Gill - Gave a $2000 donation! Telling me to not let Doo Wop Die. And to be honest I love doing Rock-it Radio so much, that I have been in tears reading very kind letters from all of you and have not even been able to return phone calls. And then the letters from Rock-it Radio DJ's well how can I let Rock-it Radio go? I can't with all that support, so this morning talked to the little lady Jan and she agreed as well to keep the Rock-it flying. The Re Launch of Rock-it Radio 2 will begin on January 2, 2019. With all of your support we have run out of supplies. So we are waiting until we get more flash drives from CD's and T shirts to get these orders in. I also owe many of you a personal note. As soon as we get more supplies we will be processing our orders. Some Changes for 2019 to stay a float - two main changes we will continue. Dropping our Ebay Store costs run $800 to $1200 month in fees depending on sales but will keep the Launching Pad open at rockitradio.net/store.html Constant Contact is our other huge expense that we may drop - with this many Listener club listeners. But will continue to post the newsletter and playlists via our blog at http://rock-itradio.blogspot.com/ and at rockitradio.net/newsletter.html we will announce the new newsletter in our Facebook page at facebook.com/rockitface and our Twitter account at: 'Rockitradio1' With no Ebay account we won't be doing playlists for our vintage broadcasts. Saving time and be able to produce the several hundred more of vintage broadcasts that we have at rockitradio.net/store.html So that's our plan.... and it came at the last minute and now off to change our website and our facebook site to annouce Rock-it Radio 2 will be launched on January 2, 2019

To the very best of all of you in 2019 and supporting the Rock-it.

Sincerely,

Bennie Dingo

"Messin' With Preston," "Hucklebuck Daddy," "Hay Ride" and his other early sides for Gotham Records were highly influential in the new genre of Rhythm & Blues, but it's his original version of "Rock The Joint" that he will always be remembered for. "Rock The Joint" from 1949 is a definite contender for the first Rock n' Roll song, but since you can't pin an entire musical movement down to just one tune, let's just say that it was one of the first. It jumps, it wails, it swings and tells the story of how this music is really going to make them rock the joint. It was immediately covered by Chris Powell & The Five Blue Flames for Columbia, then Jimmy Cavallo, but most importantly, Bill Haley laid down a ground-breaking rockabilly version of "Rock The Joint" in 1952. So even though Jimmy Preston is mostly remembered for one major contribution, Matt The Cat has dug up many more noteworthy jump tunes to open your ears and tap your toe to. This week's "Juke In The Back" is jumpin' with some pristine shellac from the great and highly unappreciated Jimmy Preston. DIG! 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons & His Rhythm Kings - Mercury 1947 2. Messin' With Preston - Jimmy Preston & His Prestonians - Gotham 1948 3.

So, we thought we would - We have put up the first half of a XERB Wolfman Jack show from December 8, 1967. To listen go to our Aircheck page in about the middle of the page and find the link at: http://www.rockitradio.net/aircheck.html Our apologies for the first 13 seconds of dead air on the recording but a special nostalgic treat to Listen to the Wolfman.  I think you will enjoy ============================================================= DINGO FAREWELL FROM STUDIO A IN POST FALLS, IDAHO The last 24 hours have been difficult and have choked up many times, as I hear back from the DJ's and there very kind words of the best batch of oldies jocks ever assembled by the way!  And a few nice comments from listeners on the Rock-it Radio online facebook page.  It's a lot harder to let go then I ever thought.  I guess after 23 almost 24 years it becomes a big part of you.  And if it wasn't for the great jocks and Lane Quigley's help and all listener's support over the years we never would of lasted this long. I began Rock-it Radio as just myself .... My 'real' job consisted of working parole and probation in California. I had a supervisory capacity for 5 years when I was demoted, took it pretty hard and a big loss in family income. We were involved in a contract with the Federal Government to house and help get jobs for Federal Inmates on the last 90 days of there sentence, mostly bank robbers and white collar crimes.  I made the error of billing the Feds the first day they arrived, I think we got like $48 a day per inmate.  I wasn't supposed to do that.  The Inmates hated our facility... not as luxurious as the Federal Penetentiaries or as good as food. Which was a converted Air Force Barracks from 1946 to the late 60s at what was once the Camarillo Air Force Base in California. I am getting side tracked here but to bring back in Australia as a very young man in Queensland where I got the moniker Bennie Dingo though I had at first a Yank accent that faded over time while I was there.  Always being in Radio and Shortwave monitoring I knew a friend and hit him up for a job .... and shocked IRRS in Milan Italy at a NATO base would pick me up.  Then WRMI Radio Miami International and a couple of other Shortwave outlets we would mail out our cassette tapes in 1995 and 1996.  In 1997 we were also picked up by Palms Radio in Corpus Christi Texas where we would do a weekend show over phone lines.  And also over that new medium of the Internet.  The owner of the Corpus Christi station thought that internet broadcasting was not going to pan out and in my lap happily landed the use of and it's own broadcasting station of Rock-it Radio.  Which at that time was really the only station with our format. And here we are many years later.  We always had our struggles financially much to my overzealous attempts to get more listeners through advertising. (That stuff is expensive you know it?!?) Last October we started taking heavy losses in our account and that was even without a advertising budget for 2018.  We started calling a SOS (Save our Station).  Many loyal listeners came through from October until now, many very generous purchases and donations.  And many of the Rock-it jocks also, including myself.  But it slowed down and by December 18th I pretty much realized even if we did last for December we didn't have the funds to go into or commit to 2019.  I didn't want to make any announcement to the DJ's until after Christmas as I know how hard they have worked and promoted for the Rock-it.  So we waited until Boxing Day (yesterday the 26th). Some things really brought it home while I was discovering what was missing and not getting the numbers we used to back during 2008 to 2010 high water mark years. I went to my old facebook account by my real name that has some of our earliest Rock-it Radio listeners....  70% + had passed on. Competition is much more for listener demands, There are other stations out there  you might all enjoy including Top Shelf Oldies, Rockabilly Radio and Doo Wop Radio. All competing for your listenership to a dwindling number of us still around. We leave with just 95,000 people that have joined our listeners club over the years and getting our newsletter.  But now only gets a 25% open rate.  Which corresponds to the 70% have passed on. I am now retired and if I had lots of money I would love to keep the Rock-it going until my passing as well.  But being on a fixed income now and disabled from the ailments from last few years.  I have to be responsible and don't have the resources to pour into Rock-it.  Believe me I really hate to let it go!  I love the DJ's & there shows, I love the listeners and I love doing the encoding and newsletter and promotions! One of the hardest phone calls I received was from a long time supporter and listener Bill Cameron from N. Billerca, Mass.  when he told me he didn't know what he would do without Rock-it and knowing already our days are numbered it put the largest lump in my throat.  He has just about every show we have ever done online.  But was in the hospital from June to September 2008 & missing those shows.  Bill if you are out there buddy once things settle down here a bit we will get those shows off to you! There are so many people to thank and I don't want to leave anyone out.  So many supporters.  All I can say is God Bless you for such a great run!  and a big Thank you to you all the DJ's past and present, the listeners. And if any of you are ever in Post Falls, Idaho please look me up!!! Eventhough our Audio will shut down on 12/31/2018 the site will be open in some pages like the main website and the DJ page and our history page. Which I will write the final chapters of our last few years, was always behind on that page. I am also leaving our Ebay store and other sites like the Launching Pad and Flash drive and T Shirt purchase sites to help pay for our bills that will carry over into January. And also in case there is a item that you wish to have to finish off your musical collection. God Bless Everyone, Bennie Dingo Rock-it Radio ....    ============================================================= COLLECTING AIRCHECKS - A HOBBY OF RADIO NOSTALGIA What is a Aircheck?  It is simply a recording of a radio broadcast.  Usually collected by Radio fans.  Come check out our webpage on collecting Airchecks. http://www.rockitradio.net/aircheck.html  COME REMEMBER WOLFMAN JACK !!!

Frankie Lymon's "It's Christmas Once Again" is still played today, as are Charles Brown's "Merry Christmas Baby" and "Please Come Home For Christmas."  Huey Smith's take on "Silent Night" and Be Bop Santa Claus by Babs Gonzales are as wacky as it gets.  I co-produced Lou Rawls's version of "The Christmas Song" a year before this show aired.

He single-handedly invented his own electric guitar boogie sound, which he let loose on the world with his first single, "Boogie Chillen'" in 1948. By early 1949, it was a number one R&B hit and Hooker was on his way to infamy. He took the Delta Blues he had learned growing up from his step-father, William Moore and his sister's boyfriend, Tony Hollins and turned it upside down, creating his own distinct style. A style that was often copied, but never fully coped. Hooker knew that he wasn't going to make any money getting stuck in record company contracts, so he would record for any company that would pay him up front. He waxed for numerous labels during the late 1940s and early '50s and recorded under several pseudonyms, in order to protect himself from lawsuits. This week, Matt The Cat digs deep into John Lee Hooker's early work for the Modern, Sensation, King, Staff and Chess labels as we feature his most important records from 1948-51. This is where it all began for the consummate "boogie man." It's in 'em and it's got to come out, this week on the "Juke In The Back." 1.

Bill Haley is described as the founding father of Rock & Roll. However, teenagers who in the middle 1950s, avidly purchased the latest records by Bill Haley & The Comets would probably have had no idea that the man was already a seasoned performer and had recorded as early as 1946. In this Rockin´ The Juke Joint Show we present material by Bill Haley from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. From the time he started his career as an Hillbilly Singer, returned to Country music as early as 1957 for Decca Records, as well with a tremendous Warner Bros Records album from the year 1960 - entitled "Haley´s Juke Box" with twelve of his favourite Country songs.

================================================ STATE OF THE ROCK-IT -- As most of you know Rock-it Radio ran out of operating funds in late November and we sent out a letter for support here on Rock-it.  Since then I was humbled and extremely greatful for all the DJ's and listeners that have donated and have stepped up.  Thanks to you we are still broadcasting!  I personally am eternally indebted to many of you that still enjoy the music of the first decade of Rock and Roll and the shows we provide, from the finest bunch of DJ's I have the pleasure to be associated with.  The Flood of orders that came in has been able to pay our bills for December,and we have done a lot of campaigning on Facebook and Twitter for Social Media to get the word of what Rock-it Radio has to offer.  Like many publicly supported things we are constantly battling for funds Orders have slowed again after the fantastic rush that has kept us solvent so I have to say I am not totally sure about 2019 as yet.  But will say it looks promising, I guess none of us really have a crystal ball but for now I am just thankful to all of you that have and continue to support us.  There have been so many of the last couple of months I can't name all of you but a word of thank you and God Bless and a hopeful 2019 for this station we began very modestly sending tapes to a NATO Base Station in 1995 in Milan, Italy to today with 21 DJ's and support staff.... Thank you. S/  Bennie Dingo Founder - Rock-it Radio LLC

FREE WOLFMAN JACK SHOW LISTEN ON ROCK-IT RADIO As we are fighting to stay alive here on Rock-it Radio on social media campaigns we received replies like what is a Aircheck?  Or Put up some sample. So, we thought we would - We have put up the first half of a XERB Wolfman Jack show from December 8, 1967. To listen go to our Aircheck page in about the middle of the page and find the link at: http://www.rockitradio.net/aircheck.html Our apologies for the first 13 seconds of dead air on the recording but a special nostalgic treat to Listen to the Wolfman.  I think you will enjoy =============================================================

============================================  ROCK-IT RADIO LISTENER'S VINTAGE BROADCASTS ON FLASHDRIVE It's hard to believe but we realize that perhaps our declining sales is due to Compact Discs are a aging medium.  And Flashdrives And digital is where it's at.  If you would prefer to have Rock-it Radio shows and vintage radio shows that we offer for sale on Flashdrive in mp3 format rather then on CD we can provide that service here at Rock-it Radio. Here it is how it works: 1.  E mail me at rockitradio@netzero.net and let me know what shows you would like to have on Flashdrive. Let's make it a minimum of 3 broadcasts.  Either any Rock-it Radio show .... or Vintage Radio Show from the 50s through 70s that we offer at: http://www.rockitradio.net/store.html 2.  The Cost:  Flashdrive will cost $5.00 and each show that you wish to have will cost $5.00 - nearly 50% CHEAPER then on CD. 3.  I will send you back a invoice within a couple of days, It will be sent via paypal and it is not obligatory.  If you change your mind just don't pay.  But it is easy to pay with any major credit card. 4.  Please allow up to 7 days for me to fill the order.  Once payment is sent.  In case I get swamped with this offer.  Probably sooner. I have to redigitalize all sold shows into MP3 and that takes a little bit of time.  All orders will have $3.00 postage a slight increase but that is due to it is shipped as a package and not envelope since it will be over a 1/4" thick. For example you order:  3 of our Alan Freed Radio shows.  And a Real Don Steele show.  A total of 4 shows - That would normally be a cost of $40.00 on CD.  All together on one flashdrive so the invoice would look like - Flashdrive $5.00 - Four Shows on Flashdrive @ $5.00 each - $20.00 - shipping $3.00 Total:  $28.00 Of course if you order more shows on the flashdrive you would continue saving as you are paying the $5.00 per show rather then $9.50. And of course we will be adding the monthly giveaway as well. So for a invoice again just e mail me your wants on your flashdrive for shows on mp3 at:  rockitradio@netzero.net Also, check out this offer again at: http://www.rockitradio.net/flashdrivemp3.html =============================================================

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

FINDING ROCK-IT RADIO ON THE 'TUNE IN RADIO' CELL PHONE APP.

WORTH SHARING DURING THE HOLIDAYS!!!! UNMENTIONED SAVINGS SECRETS FOR SENIORS AND FOR SOME THAT JUST MEANS FOLKS OVER 50 YEARS OLD BUT YOU HAVE TO ASK FOR THEM.  GREAT LIST. FOR OUR ROCK-IT RADIO LISTENERS! Keep this list and send a copy to your senior friends and relatives. As I was waiting in line behind an older gentleman at Wendy's recently, I heard him ask for his senior discount. The girl at the register apologized and charged him less. When I asked the man what the discount was, he told me that seniors over age 55 get 10% off everything on the menu, every day. Being of 'that' age myself, I figured I might as well ask for the discount too. This incident prompted me to do some research, and I came across a list of restaurants, supermarkets, department stores, travel deals and other types of offers giving various discounts with different age requirements. I was actually surprised to see how many there are and howsome of them start at the young age of 50. This list may not only be useful for you, but for your friends and family too.

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 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! 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.
