Hello. Is anybody listening this afternoon?

That version of Route 66 is one of the smoothest tunes ever!

Tuned in from London Ontario. Thanx for playing the 14th Wray on today's show!!

1:40 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
Oh yeah, I love Nat before all the production when he became popular. The strings and white back-up singers just don't cut it with me.

1:42 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
I love your tapes, WW.Dave.

1:42 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
That's a great version of the song too. The 14th Wray from the Eighth Wonder.

1:43 PM, November 23rd, 2022
B
Jerry Lee Lewis still sounding good!

1:45 PM, November 23rd, 2022

Didn't know the Stones basically hijacked this song, and got away with it. (thumb from wiki) ""It's All Over Now" is a song written by Bobby Womack and his sister-in-law Shirley Womack. It was first released by The Valentinos, featuring Bobby Womack, in 1964. The Rolling Stones heard it on its release and quickly recorded a cover version, which became their first number-one hit in the United Kingdom, in July 1964."

Also good for the read, still about It's All Over Now. "Years later, Bobby Womack said in an interview that he had told Sam Cooke he did not want the Rolling Stones to record their version of the song, and that he had told Mick Jagger to get his own song. Cooke convinced him to let the Rolling Stones record the song. Six months later on, after receiving the royalty check for the song, Womack told Cooke that Mick Jagger could have any song he wanted."

I can play the original for you next time I'm on, Benoît.

Another great tune from Mr. Liggins.

1:59 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
Jimmy, or Joe. You can't go wrong with either one of the Liggins Brothers.

2:03 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
Gene Taylor is the piano player on the version of Drunk (Jimmy Liggins' song). He's also the piano player on the Zantees track and the Blasters song.

He died of hypothermia in his apartment in Texas during the Texas blizzard of 2021.

Teenage Head some time? Loudest band i ever heard ... surprised to not be deaf. "SAY WHAT?!"

2:59 PM, November 23rd, 2022

I play Teenage Head all the time, pb. Too much, some would say. But until they are put on a stamp, or have a Canadian Heritage Minute made about them, I will continue to play Teenage Head.

Loudest band I ever heard was Blue Oyster Cult. I think it was close to 120 decibels.

3:04 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
The Scarlet Drops were really loud. They emptied the hall we had rented for my mixed stag when I got married. We found all our guests cowering in the coat room.

3:08 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
They were so loud I can remember them knocking a dartboard off the wall in Irene's.

3:11 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
Thanks for listening one and all. I hope you enjoyed it.

I don't think we'll see Eddie Noack on Ken Burns' Country Music doc.

3:33 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Renny G (host)
Interesting cat. He was educated, with a university degree in English. But he was plagued by the bottle. He wrote some amazing songs.

4:10 PM, November 23rd, 2022
Frankie
I will check out all things Noack. Thanks Renny.
