We've known EYEBALL PRODUCTIONS head man, MR. ROBERT (call me BOB) McGRATH for a lotta years.
BOB was an ad agency man when
GROOVIN' BLUE's DJZigZag used to go by the name of BILL REITER.
Mr. R. was in front of the camera and Mr. McG. was behind-the-scenes on a lot of the now iconic work.

THIS IS Part Two of
'THE SOUL DISCOGRAPHY'.
This new issue takes in the Soul Music artistes from "G" to "M".
From D. Gerrard and C. Graves to B. Marchan, G. Mimms and more . . .
The 2nd in a (soon-to-be) three volume set proudly joins BOB's other New World African Music tomes;


'GOSPEL DISCOGRAPHY 1943-1970'
'BLUES DISCOGRAPHY 1943-1970'
and
'BLUES DISCOGRAPHY 1971-2000'
plus

and the soon-to-be-reprinted
3 volume 'THE R&B INDIES'

THESE BOOKS ARE INVALUABLE TO ALL OF US HERE AT WAGRadio.
and A WORK OF LOVE AND DEDICATION.

SUNNY 'SWEET DADDY FONK' WONG
is calling this, "the best series of music from BACK, BACK, BACK BEFORE BACK-IN-THE-DAY to be aired on WAGRadio" - and he's including his own featured shows of DJZigZag & Sweet Daddy's thirteen day trip through the home of the music - THE SOUTHERN U.S.A. ! !

DADDY FONK sez; "MIKE CVETKOVICH is a machine that spews out tale after exuberant tale and story after story of been-there reminisences from the NIGHTCLUBS of TACOMA, WA to the JAZZ VENUES of SAN FRANCISCO, CA and the now torn-down auditoriums and dancehalls of VanCity, CANADA".

In this new WAGRadio series of shows
THE EAST END KINGADA BLUES - Mr. C. - TELLS of HIS LIFE WITH and his love for
NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC
with a joy and fellowship of someone three quarters his age which he will gladly tell you is 80 years old (he looks twenty years younger).

SO DEAR LISTENERS - SIT BACK - LIE DOWN - STAND UP -
and give a SHOUT-OUT - FOR SOME WONDERFUL MUSIC
and some Very-Interesting-Indeed
NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC HISTORY.

IT'S MIKE C. & DJZZ on the Black History Month FEBRUARY trail of BLACK MUSIC's STORY as seen through the eyes of 2 brothers-in-soul who've been there AND ARE WILLING AND ABLE TO SHARE.

COMING SOON . . . the EAST END KINGADA BLUES - Mr. MIKE CVETKOVICH TALKS TO DJZigZag ABOUT CARS, GUITARS, DIANA ROSS and 1943 TRIPS TO SEATTLE WA !

The No. 1 mentor of DJZigZag is 80 year old Mike Cvetkovich.
He was listening to New World African Music in the early 1940's and was buying records in Seattle WA in 1943.

Although you won't hear
DJZigZag gasp at THAT FACT
(on the soon-to-be-podcasted)
* EAST END TALKIN' *
the cold hard fack' is that 1943 was the year of ZigZag's birth.


Sunny 'Sweet Daddy Fonk' Wong reminded DJZZ that that fits perfectly with their mutually
oft-cited wish that they, "would have been born 10 years earlier".

THEN, they muse, they could have been listening to (all things being equal) . . .
RED PRYSOCK, LIONEL HAMPTON, SMILEY LEWIS, LOUIS JORDON, JOE WILLIAMS and a younger LLOYD PRICE and ANTOINE DOMINO.
All these artists were in the ears of The EastEnd Kingada Blues - Mr. CVETKOVICH
and he and his junior music pal DJZZ talk about them on the
* EAST END TALKIN' * radio shows
(soon to be aired) on WAGRadio . . .

YOU ARE GONNA LOVE THESE NEW Back-In-The-Day SHOWS ! ! !

OH WHAT A SOULFUL GROUP - THE ALABAMA HIP HOP TROUPE - G-SIDE feat. SOUND OF SILENCE - YEAH! BABBEE ! ! "HUNTSVILLE INTERNATIONAL"




Jon Kirby writes in the 12th Annual Southern Music Issue of OXFORD AMERICAN MAGAZINE;
"G-Side is a group that has been on the brink of underground eminence for the bulk of their career, and they've been discovered several times. Effortless to enjoy, difficult to compartmentalize the most logical ways to describe them seem contradictions in terms. Outkast on steroids? On Quaaludes? Fair-trade gangsta rap? Their songs are evocative, empowering, and often autobiographical, fusing the good with the bad, and making responsible distinctions between the two. While applauded in the pages of the New York Times and The Village Voice, they've evaded mention from traditional rap rags like XXL or The Source. And though a web of Internet radio stations and podcasts keep the duo in heavy rotation, they've spent little time on actual radio airwaves outside of Northern Alabama."
