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.
