That's All She Wrote Rick Nelson =============================================== AL COOL DADDY SMITH WITH PART 5 ON CHUCK BERRY ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #6100 This show is Part 5 in our ongoing look at the body of work of the foremost rocker of all time "Mr. Chuck Berry" whom we lost in March of this year. This show will look at his recordings during the 1970's. Although he had his only number one hit during the early part of this decade with the tune "My Ding A Ling" it was not in anyway his best work during that time in my opinion and many tunes that were recorded during that decade were far superior and yet have never been played on any radio station either during the 1970's or the years that followed. This show will hopefully rectify that sad fact. Please note that the play list is short but Chuck did tend to stretch out his recordings on the LP's that will be played. For an example you will hear the original "My Ding A Ling" that for the single was edited to four minutes in length from its original 12 minutes (approximately). The 12 minute version will be heard on this show. The Play List is as follows: 1. Mean Old World-Chuck Berry 1972 2. I Will Not Let You Go-Chuck Berry 1972 3. I Love You-Chuck Berry 1972 4. My Ding A Ling-Chuck Berry 1972 5. Johnny B. Goode-Chuck Berry 1972 6. I'm A Rocker-Chuck Berry 1970 7. Gun-Chuck Berry 1970 8. Move It-Chuck Berry 1979 9. Oh What A Thrill-Chuck Berry 1979 10. I Need You Baby-Chuck Berry 1979 11. I Never Thought-Chuck Berry 1979 12. Pass Away-Chuck Berry 1979 13. Put On Your Hi Heel Sneakers-Chuck Berry 1975 14. Beer Drinking Woman-Chuck Berry 1972 =============================================== ROCKIN DADDY O'S ROCKABILLY RANCH PARTY ON ROCK-IT RADIO SHOW #6101 The High Energy Jock with the High Energy Music is back with another segment of Rockin' Rockabilly Music.

He was one of the most influential and popular recording stars of both Rhythm & Blues and Rock n' Roll music. Fats' streak of hit records was nearly unbroken from 1950-1963 and he did it without changing his core sound. He just kept on playin' the New Orleans boogie woogie music that he grew up with. Antoine "Fats" Domino Jr. got his first recording contract in early December of 1949 as bandleader Dave Bartholomew introduced him to Lew Chudd, the head of LA's Imperial Records. Within days, they were in Cosimo Matassa's famous J&M studios cutting Fats' first record, "The Fat Man," which sold over one million copies and made him a star. In part one of this two part series, Matt The Cat will spin the A and B sides of EVERY Fats Domino R&B charting single from 1950 to 1953. Part 2 will pick it up and spin the charting singles up through Domino's big Pop crossover success with "Ain't It A Shame" in 1955. We're diggin' on the R&B roots of the late, great Fats Domino, this week on the "Juke In The Back." 1. Swanee River Boogie - Albert Ammons - Mercury 1947 2. The Fat Man - Fats Domino - Imperial 1950 3. Detroit City Blues - Fats Domino - Imperial 1950 4. Every Night About This Time - Fats Domino - Imperial 1950 5.

| ============================================
TRIAL RUN FOR ROCK-IT RADIO LISTENER'S ONLY
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. So, I am going to make this offer just on a trial basis for the remainder of 2017. 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 |

there is a search box where you can type in the DJ name or
Station Call letters and that information on that show will pop up.

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
