Ah yes. The heralded view from studio two. WAGRadio's perch on the mighty Fraser River as seen from Studio "B" (or studio 2 as senior staffers know it). "B" has been the marshalling area for the soon-to-be-podcast"Groovin' Blue 16 - 04"- late into the night and into the early morn as seen in the above photo. DJZigZag proclaims, before every nu Gruv Blu, that, "this is the best one yet." We're waiting for that pronunciamento to be declared to all and sundry momentarily. All eyes are cast towards Studio "A".

Sister Rosetta Tharpe: The Godmother of Rock & Roll Southern-born, Chicago-raised and New York-made PBS writes: Despite
not being a household name today, Sister Rosetta Tharpe is one of the
most influential artists of the 20th century. Her flamboyance, skill,
and showmanship on the newly electrified guitar played a vital role in
the conception of Rock & Roll as a genre of music. Featuring
archival performances and using new interviews with fellow musicians,
producers, friends, and colleagues, this film tells the story of a
talented and determined woman that introduces spiritual passion of her
gospel music background into Rock & Roll. Learn more about Sister
Rosetta Tharpe, her life story, and lasting artistic legacy.
For fans of PBS TV on the West Coast of Canada & America's Pacific North West the KCTS 9 guide tells us that "SISTER ROSETTA THARPE: The Godmother of Rock & Roll" is showing at 11:00 pm PST on Friday, February 12th on "American Masters". Let's hope they don't show a David Bowie doc instead. "American Masters: B.B. KING" on the same station @ 9:00 pm / Monday, Feb. 15th - repeats 2/19 @ 4:00 a.m. ALSO @ 9:00 pm on Feb. 29th [repeating @ 2:00 a.m. on the 30th] - "Fats Domino: American Masters" [check local PBS listings in your area].
Photo: Sunny "Sweet Daddy Fonk" Wong walks along an Augusta, Georgia Norfolk Southern railroad spur during the East End Southern Music trip undertaken by him and DJZigZag in 2010. All those states, especially Mississippi, were fascinating to them.
Mr. C. B. shows us that our claim - WAGRadio is NOT for children - should be taken to heart. This gem holds down the #4 position on our Winter 2016 playlist.
Yes. We said Norway ! ! This soulful piece sits at #9 on our Top 130. New World African inspired music is, in the sixteenth year of the new century, a world-wide love thang !
And not because it prooves our world-wide-luv-thang claim but this is Ms. Bruna and a pop-phukee little number on the great Irma Dancefloor label outta Italia - sitting at #35 this WAGRadio wintah 2016. Oh, and we lub makin' up our own woids h'yah at WAGRadio. Ha ha !
We know there are more videos in this series produced by Vintage Frames Company. We were inspired to present these three 'cuz DJZZ has been transfixed, as of late, with a couple of his own recent purchases of very hip shades frum the past. That DJZigZag ! ! !
If ya' did not catch this feature doc in theatres it is now available to Netflix subscribers in Canada (and we assume the U.S.). Wonderfully nostalgic and perfectly crafted, this film chronicles both the history and the present day rebirth of a high school show band in Texas. This is a winner on a lotta counts.
Currently WAGRadio's #One choon. Sigala - real name Bruce Fielder - initially spent a year or two in
unsigned bands, before deciding he was studio destined, writing
and producing chart hits for the world. The two main dancers in the video are from Vancouver, B.C., Canada (DJZigZag'z hood). Performing as Lucky Aces are Lucky (Ryan Ancheta) and A.C. (Andre Bonifacio). Say it loud ! !

This choon currently at #16 on the WAGRadio Winter 2016 Top 100, is a purrfekt mix of JamRock and Urban U.S. In the hearts and minds of WAGRadio staffers it has climbed even higher and now sits at a Top Ten position. Dig on this Irie 'ting.
Ooooo. This ain't one of the two versions that are currently being heard on WAGRadio but in its simplicity and with all of its hooks intact, this is a wonderful inceptive construction of our fave remixes (Prep Remix / Wave Racer Remix / 99 Soul Remix). The remixes sit at #6 on the WAGRadio Top 100 for Winter 2016.
DJZigZag sez that this was his "hit of tha' autumnal season". Right now, Colonel Loud's choice choon still sits at #8 on the WAGRadio Top 130 Winter 2016 Playlist. And we WAGR's dig it too. It sat at #4 during the fall playlist of 2015. Staying on the WAGRadio charts for six months (Fall 2015 / Winter 2016) is a feat few funky featured favourites fulfil.
