June 5, 1969 Playlist + Instant Requests +1969 Feedback

Great to be back after a one week vacay in my native Detroit. Didn't make it to my fave used record store so no new tunes to bring back, but I'm in the process of digitzing my record collection so I'll now be able to do INSTANT REQUESTS and there'll be a better chance that I'll be able to play what you want to hear Johnny On The Spot!

So what do you think about The Summer of '69 as the theme each and every week from Independence Day to Labor Day? So much great music AM and FM style. Overkill? So far the reaction is evenly divided. Would love YOUR feedback at lostoldies@yahoo.com

Meanwhile here's the playlist from Friday June 5th's show: http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=06-05-2009

Remember The Primitive Soul Show Wednesday nights 8 to 10pm on WVKR www.wvkr.org. You never know when I might pop in to join El Primitivo to help him spin those funky platters. And he is SUCH a nice guy that he let the guy who I replaced FIVE YEARS AGO take up an hour of his Primitive Show today. Class act, Georgie, but I missed garagerockinout on the drive in.

Thanks for listening: PLEASE let me know you're OUT THERE!

May 22 Playlist + Anniversary + May 29 + 1969

http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633&date=05-22-2009

Oops. looks like I shoulda made it clearer about what I meant by "Beach Music". From WIKIpedia:

Beach music, also known as Carolina beach music, is a regional genre which developed from various musical styles of the forties, fifties and sixties. These styles ranged from big band swing instrumentals to the more raucous sounds of blues/jump blues, jazz, doo-wop, boogie, rhythm and blues, reggae, rockabilly and old-time rock and roll. Beach music is closely associated with the style of swing dance known as the shag, or the Carolina shag, which is also the official state dance of both North Carolina and South Carolina. Recordings with a 4/4 "blues shuffle" rhythmic structure and moderate-to-fast tempo are the most popular music for the shag, and the vast majority of the music in this genre fits that description.

Lotta good tunes, but I think last year's Memorial Day Beach Music special worked better because I mixed up the categories above whereas today I sorta lumped 'em all together. Oh well. It was still great to have Sam The Tattoo Man sit in with me. A heckuva nice guy. And he brought me a new copy of the original "Everything's Archie" LP! Cool!Email me if you wanna know where to get tattoo'd!

Totally forgot to mention it was 5 Memorial Days ago that I got the Friday 3pm gig following the amazing Primitive Show. A dream come true!

Remember Primitive George starts "The Primitive Soul Show" Wednesdays 8 to 10 pm all this summer. I hope to join him on occasion, maybe even THIS Thursday May 27 since I will NOT be doing a show May 29. I'll be in Detroit Rock City for my niece's high school graduation.

Would love your feedback on today's show and how you feel about a whole summer of '69 from 3 to 5 this summer.


Thanks for listening and Happy Memorial Day; let's honor our vets!
