FLASHBACK FRIDAY - ROCK, ROLL AND REMEMBER REVISITED - 1957
October 23, 2009 11:40 AM PDT
Welcome to Flash-back Friday and ROCK, ROLL AND REMEMBER REVISITED (1957). Back in June, 2006 I embarked on a journey through 20 years of Rock and Roll, and starting with the year 1956, played the top 15 to 20 songs of each of those years. The lists are those compiled by Billboard Magazine and are actually the songs MOST REQUESTED by radio listeners across Canada and the United States at that time. Last Friday I started with the year 1956 and some great old tunes from that year. This week, we look at 1957 - when Rock and Roll was still very much in it's infancy. So, sit back, let your thoughts drift back, click on the player, and let us take you to the year 1957. Thanks for listening Don..... |
Podcast SummaryOnce each week, Big Daddy Donald Roberts along with that Little Irishman Al Murphy bring you a full hour of great GOLDEN OLDIES from www.donspodradio.com. Listen to some of the greatest tunes ever recorded, every week! Al Murphy visits on the 20's with RETROSPECTIVE - a 20/20 look back on issues of interest to Al, and hopefully you as well.
Big Daddy fills in all the gaps with light banter and awesome music.
About DonaldBig Daddy Donald Roberts: I am a retired print plant manager, who has a love of music and radio - in 1967 I went to broadcasting school, and earned my diploma. Then real life kicked in, and I found a job at a printing company, where I stayed for the next 38 years. I have always had some kind of home studio, and it is there where donspodradio was born. Now I can do what I love, and do it for people who also love the music and listen to the program each week. Al Murphy is also a retiree from the same company - I was in Manufacturing and he in Human Resources! Al resides in Fergus, Ontario, which is a little bit west of Toronto - I on the other hand, live in Coquitlam, British Columbia, a bedroom community of Vancouver. When I started the donspodradio websites back in February, 2006, Al was the very first visitor - it wasn't long before he had recorded some promos for the station, and as they say, the rest is history. Now, every week Al drops by on the 20's with RETROSPECTIVE - his look back at issues of interest to him, and I hope, you as well. Every once in a while, Al either co-hosts a program, or takes over entirely - and his love of the music and information of the times shows through! It takes a bit of engineering to stretch the string tight between the two tin can microphones that link our studios, but it is well worth the effort as I am sure you will agree. So, please join us weekly, as we rock to the sounds of GREAT OLDIES - 65 minutes each week right here! Over THREE years in podcasting, and still going strong! We hope you enjoy the weekly program and will take the time to email us at dpr.adio@hotmail.com or through this service provider. Rock on. The Real Big Daddy, Donald Roberts, and the Little Irishman, Al Murphy.
