DJZigZag IS MIXING A LITTLE SCHMALTZ INTO THE FLOW THIS CHRISTMAS AND HE'S DOIN' IT WITH AN ENSEMBLE CALLED FRED WARING AND THE PENNSYLVANIANS. CHRISTMAS SOUNDS FROM THE EARLY NINETEEN SIXTIES.

     Photos: Discogs

SURE.  IT'S A SCHMALTZY BIT OF XMAS MUSIC FROM THE EARLY SIXTIES BUT IT SEGUES INTO R. KELLY AND JIMMY SMITH AND BOYS II MEN REAL NICE!  CAPITOL RECORDS FRED WARING WITH HIS MUSICIANS AND CHOIR KNOWN AS THE PENNSYLVANIANS WERE A TOP-NOTCH POP AGGREGATION BACK IN THE DAY AND AS PROFESSIONAL AS CAN BE.  DJZigZag SEZ HE'D LOVE TO HAVE HAD A CHAIR AT THE BACK OF THE RECORDING BOOTH IN 1963 WHEN THIS ALBUM WAS PRODUCED BY ANDY WISWELL.  DJZZ KNOWS IT WOULD BE A MARVELOUS LEARNING EXPERIENCE BEING A FLY-ON-THE-WALL BACK IN THOSE DAYS.

WAGRadio MANAGEMENT

IT'S THEM AGAIN . . . THE MUCH-LOVED CLARK SISTERS IN 2005 WITH THEIR SOULFUL VERSION OF "O COME EMMANUEL".

WHEN YA' GOT STARBUCKS SELLIN' YOUR XMAS CD - YOU GOT A HIT! DESERVEDLY SO TOO MS. MARY J. BLIGE! HERE'S MS. B. ON THE U.S. TV SHOW "THIS MORNING" WITH "HAVE YOURSELF A MERRY LITTLE CHRISTMAS". MARY AND THE CLARK SISTERS WILL BE FEATURED ON THE SOON-TO-BE-PODCAST "GROOVIN' BLUE XMAS 2013 SHOW TWO ! !

FROM THE 2007 HOLLYWOOD FILM "THIS CHRISTMAS" A VERY YOUNG CHRIS BROWN SINGS THE DONNY HATHAWAY XMAS CLASIC AND THE FILM'S TITLE CHOON.

IT'S JUST A 78 rpm RECORD REVOLVING ON A TURNTABLE BUT DJZigZag SEZ IT BRINGS BACK MEMEORIES OF FALLIN' IN LOVE WITH "RHYTHM 'N' BLUES" CHRISTMAS RECORDS WHEN HE WAS A MERE LAD . . . THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREAT SINGERS SINGING ONE OF THE ALL-TIME GREAT XMAS CHOONS - CHARLES BROWN and "MERRY CHRISTMAS BABY" ON SWINGTIME RECORDS.

THE WONDERFUL YULE GOSPEL SOUND OF THE SISTERS CLARK JOINED BY KIERRA SHEARD . . . SOON TO BE HEARD ON THE 2nd CHRISTMAS GROOVIN' BLUE SPECIAL on WAGRadio ! !

        Photo: One plate of Christmas Dinner by Munchmaedchen

THIS YEAR DJZigZag HAS CHANGED THE SOUND OF WAGRadio's HOLIDAY GROOVIN' BLUE SHOWS RIGHT FROM THE OPENING BARS OF THIS THE FIRST OF TWO PRESENTATIONS.  FOR INSTANCE . . . LEADING OFF G.B. SHOW ONE IS THAT GREAT NEW WORLD AFRICAN ARTIST FRED WARING AND HIS PENNSYLVANIANS.  THIS TALENTED SYMPHONIC AND VOCAL GROUP ARE MORE THAN WELL REPRESENTED.  OLDER LISTENERS WHO REMEMBER THIS GIANT OF SO-CALLED GOOD LISTENING MUSIC (THE FIFTIES AND SIXTIES) WILL CHUCKLE AT THE MENTION OF MR. WARING'S NAME IN CONJUNCTION WITH WAGRadio - HOME OF HIP HOP, REGGAE AND THE MORE FUNKY FORMS OF TIN PAN ALLEY.  IT IS A PROGRAMMING DECISION THAT DJZigZag TOOK ON WITH GUSTO.  HE'S USING THE TECHNIQUE OF BORROWING VARIOUS AUDIO SOURCES THAT IS SO FAMILIAR TO OUR ACID JAZZ, RAP AND CONTEMPORARY NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSICAL STARS.  ALSO, WITH THESE TWO NEW SHOWS (# 2 SHOULD BE UPLOADED IN TWELVE DAYS) THE VERBOSE ONE . . . THE RAPPIN' MAD RADIO RECLUSE . . . THE LAD WITH THE MADNESS IN HIM . . . YOUR GROOVIN' BLUE HOST - DJZigZag - HAS TAKEN DECEMBER OFF.  THESE SHOWS HAVE NO HOST.  DJZZ TOLD US THAT "(he wants) to give the listeners a sense of radio drama which is best served by allowing the borrowed voices and music to paint a large-scoped picture".  RIGHT . . . WE ALSO DON'T KNOW WHAT THE HELL HE'S TALKIN' 'BOUT ??  BUT WE DID ENJOY, AS WE KNOW Y'ALL WILL, THE TWO BRAND NEW XMAS GROOVIN' BLUE SHOWS.
ENJOY. ENJOY. WASSAIL!!

       Photo: Reg Silva

IT SEEMS EVERY CANADIAN KNOWS SOMEONE WHO IS OF PHILIPPINE DESCENT OR HAS THEIR LIFE CLOSLY TIED TO A FILIPINO FRIEND OR LOVED ONE.
DURING THE LATEST GROOVIN' BLUE 13 - 12 A SECTION OF THE SHOW WAS DEDICATED TO THE MUSIC-LOVING PHILIPPINES AND ITS PEOPLE . . . AND THIS WAS BEFORE DJZigZag OR ANY WAGRadio PEEPS KNEW OF THE DEVESTATION THAT WAS HEADED THAT NATION'S WAY . . .  ZIGZAG HAD RESPECTED THE LOVE THAT THE PHILIPPINE PEOPLE HAVE FOR MUSIC AND WAS RECENTLY TELLING US THAT IF YOU TRAVEL ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRIES IN THAT PART OF THE WORLD IT WILL PROBABLY BE A FILIPINO BAND OR ORCHESTRA THAT IS MAKING THE MUSIC YOU DANCE OR LISTEN TO.  THEY ARE THAT MUSICAL A PEOPLE.

TO HELP THE HAIYAN TYPHOON VICTIMS . . . WAGRadio ASKS ITS LISTENERS TO DONATE TO THE CANADIAN RED CROSS.

WAGRadio FANS KNOW (BY NOW) THAT ONE OF OUR MAIN MAN DJZigZag's FAVOURITE CHOONS FROM THE LATE 1960's IS BOBBIE GENTRY'S GENRE-DEFYING "ODE TO BILLIE JOE". HERE SHE IS IN 1971 ON THE ANDY WILLIAMS SHOW IN A SELDOM SEEN VIDEO OF HER STRETCHING OUT ON THE SONG SHE PENNED AND MADE FAMOUS.

This is a wonderful version of "Ode To Billie Joe" by Ms. Gentry.  She "acts out" the intricate lyrics and vocal interchanges between the song's characters to a degree not seen in other videos.  WAGRadio fan and musicologist Miles Ramsay tells us that that's not a guitar she's playing but a baritone ukelele.  Mr. R. also couldn't help but pass on a bit o' gossip too.  Seems Bobbie G. married the owner of Harrah's casinos and hotels Mr. Bill Harrah.

DJZigZag TELLS US THAT THERE ARE TWO THINGS HE WISHED HE HADN'T TALKED SUNNY SWEET DADDY FONK OUTTA DOING ON THEIR WONDERFUL 2010 TRIP OF MUSIC REDISCOVERY TO THE SOUTHERN U.S. OF A.  THE FIRST "MISTAKE" WAS DENYING HIS LIFE-LONG PAL A BUCKET LIST VISIT TO A BISON FARM IN TENNESSEE.  THE ZAGSTER TELLS US HE CAN'T LOOK AT A PHOTO OF A BUFFALO WITHOUT FEELING THAT GUILT.  THE OTHER REMORSE-PLAGUED BURR IN ZIGZAG'S MIND IS NOT ACQUIESING TO SWEET DADDY'S NEED TO VISIT MUSCLE SHOALS, ALABAMA.  DJZigZag FEARS THIS 2010 REQUEST AND SUBSEQUENT DISAPPOINTMENT FOR MR. WONG WILL BE RE-KINDLED WITH THE RELEASE THIS COMING WEEK OF THE MAGICAL FILM "MUSCLE SHOALS" WHICH CHRONICLES THE MUSICAL LIFE OF THE HAMLET'S LEGENDARY STUDIOS AND MUSICIANS OF THIS DIXIE TOWN ON THE BANKS OF THE TENNESSEE RIVER.  THE TOWN HAS BEEN CALLED AN UNLIKELY BREEDING GROUND FOR SOME OF THE U.S.A.'s MOST CREATIVE AND DEFIANT MUSIC.  FAME RECORDS AND ITS OWNER RICK HALL FEATURE PROMINENTLY IN THE FILM "MUSCLE SHOALS" AS DOES THE  SEARCH BY NEW WORLD AFRICAN AND POPULAR ROCK ARTISTS WANTING TO CAPTURE AND INCORPORATE THE "MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND".  IT'S A FASCINATING STORY OF BLACK AND WHITE SOLIDARITY AMID THE CAULDRON OF SOUTHERN RACIAL HOSTILITY.
OH, AND A HINT.  THE FILM IS OFFERED AS A "FREEBIE" WHEN YOU PURCHASE YOUR $12.00 V.I.F.F. MEMBERSHIP.

FIRST THERE WAS THE WORD - "MEMPHIS BOYS: THE STORY OF AMERICAN STUDIOS" - A GREAT BOOK WHICH TOLD US A LITTLE BIT 'BOUT THE BOYS OF MUSCLE SHOALS, ALABAMA. AND NOW, WE HAVE THE MOVIE "MUSCLE SHOALS" . . . A HIT AT SUNDANCE AND COMING SOON (?) TO A THEATRE NEAR Y'ALL.

Here's an excerpt quoted by The Ponderosa Stomp website from the documentary "Muscle Shoals" by Magnolia Pictures; "Rising out of the Deep South of 1960's America, a sound emerged that began to attract artists as diverse as Otis Redding, Paul Simon, Aretha Franklin and the Rolling Stones.  That sound and the people who helped create it, would go on to leave its mark on music history.  The place was Muscle Shoalsl Alabama, and this is the story of how it gave birth to some of the most memorable music of our time."

The director, Greg "Freddy" Camalier was quoted in Rolling Stone magazine as saying; "The coming together of races at that time, as well as the landscape and this rural, beautiful town, as well as the singing river, as well as these incredible characters and all the other musicians down there - it all sort of came together."

TWO WONDERFUL SUMMAH 2013 BOOK TITLES FOR YOUR DELECTATION . . .

DJZigZag has turned all of us here at WAGRadio on to two great summer tomes.
"The Dozens: A History of Rap's Mama": has a title that calls out for readers.  The wonderful pay-off is that is delivers 20 times over.  The Dozens is the street cool verbal dueling persued from Harlem to Compton and everywhere in between.  Writer Elijah Wald persues the hard-to-find and lost-in-time annuls of its history.  They're lost cuz of the dirty, low-downness of its poetic self.  Always changed by researchers when finally written down, so as to not offend, this wonderful New World African verbosity can't be found in no book - especially when the early years are discussed.  In today's world there's a laxity unparalleled in history - witness this book's unexpurgated pages).  Today everything and all is openly said & talked about [current WAGRadio hits "Do Me" - K. Roosevelt and "No Love" by Future are two examples] but back in the 1800's and 1900's writers couldn't transfer The Dozens verbatim to respectable reviews of the day.



WAGRadio personality Sunny 'Sweet Daddy Fonk' reminds us that one of his favourite choons from the late 1950's - Bo Diddley's "Say Man" (Checker #931) - was in fact Dozens-based.
Grandmamas & Grandpapas will remember this un-rhymed discourse between Mr. Diddley and the band's percussionist Jerome Green;
Diddley:  "I was walkin' down the street with your girl."
Green: "Yeah?"
Diddley: "I took her home.  For a drink, y'know."
Green:  "You took her home?"
Diddley:  "Yeah.  Just for a drink."
Green:  "Oh."
Diddley:  "But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on a glass to get a drink a' water!"
Green:  "You got the nerve to call somebody ugly. Why, you so ugly 'til the stork that brought you in the world oughta be arrested."
Diddley:  "That's all right.  My mama didn't have to put a sheet over my head so sleep could slip up on me."

www.youtube.com/watch?v=HIWgNKUMlzM&list=TL6F-OtqVfoG4



So if ya' didn't know it before - now ya' know - 'The Dozens: A History of Rap's Mama" is one fine historic and ribald book of knowledge - great fo' yo' mama's summah reading . . .  ha ha . . . true dat!

The Zagster also tells us he's just starting to read; "Fever: Little Willie John - A Fast Life, Mysterious Death and the Birth of Soul" by Susan Whitall.
In the book's forward we read these words about Little Willie John by Stevie Wonder, "You hear his influence in lots of people who sing today.  It's impossible for people to talk about Rhythm 'n' Blues and talk about singers and not mention the voice and talent of Little Willie John as being one of those great people.  You can hear (him) when you hear Usher."
More on this unexpected (so many years after his death) contemporary book 'bout one of our New World African Musical heroes.
