Internet Radio

Sittin’ late in the night, listening to Doc Watson sing St. Louis Blues, courtesy of the Yahoo! Custom radio service that Darryl turned me on to. Thank you Darryl! Now it’s Delbert McClinton doing Lovey Dovey...

Fifty Years Ago

As a reward for enduring torture sessions with my Huntington Park orthodontist, Dr. Elsie C. Schildwachter, the embodiment of a German Nazi in my own mind (if not in reality), Mom always took me out for a treat: often to a nearby Newberry's, where I might get a malt at the soda fountain - or a record from the music department. Those 78 RPM singles were my first pop records, and I played them over and over.

I can remember them to this day: off-brand covers of pop hits such as "Learnin' the Blues", "You Gotta Have Heart", and "Wake the Town and Tell The People."
