It has been 48 years since I did my very first radio show on KCGN radio aboard the USS Long Beach floating around the Tonkin Gulf off the coast of Viet-Nam. I have been listening to rock n roll for over 6o years and been playing it on the radio for 48 of those years. I have been doing my current show, "Rock N Soul Gospel", at 88.1fm & WCWP.org. for almost 35 years now. Having been born at the tale end of the '40's I have pretty much grown up with rock n roll and am firmly convinced that the music I now play on a weekly basis is some of the best music that I have ever heard. In the past two weeks I have gotten new albums from Brooks Williams, Kelley McRae & SHEL. These recordings just serve to reinforce the idea that the tunes being released today are some of the very best ever done. To me, at least, the fact that the artists that I play claim to be in a unique relationship with the Master Creator is just icing on the cake. It is as it should be! I found out last month that "Rock N Soul Gospel" according to a very reliable source is the world's oldest rock n roll radio show. That and $2.75 will get me onto the subway in NYC but I am so very grateful that I can say that this is so. As long as I have the ability to keep this program going I will strive to play only the very best music that I can find. And with the caliber of music and musicians that I am dealing with, that will not be a very hard promise to keep. After all these years I still get a thrill whenever I walk into the studio at the radio station, sit down behind the console and open up the mike before pushing the play button on the first song of the show. By the way in case you are wondering the very first song I ever played on the radio was called "The Supernatural" by John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. It is an instrumental piece with Peter Green on guitar that still gives me the chills whenever I hear it. That being said I invite you to check out the radio show every Friday at 9pm & Sunday at 5pm, NY time of course on 88.1fm & WCWP.org, check it out!!!
