WAGRadio Book Recommendation

Lloyd Bradley's 'Bass Culture: When Reggae Was King' is a must-read for all fans of Jam-Rock music and also for those who want an insightful account of the early days of Ska and Reggae. These were the formative years in Jamaica when Selectors (People's Disc Jockeys) were playing Fats Domino, Willis "Gator Tail" Jackson, Wynonie Harris and many other New World African-American Music artists to their appreciative fans.

DJZigZag is looking for a Viking Press hardcover edition of 'Bass Culture' - so if any dear listener has a lead - email djzz at radio@wagradio.com or leave a comment on this post.

The Kelly Brothers - I'm falling in love again

Queen Ifrica - Far Away (OFFICIAL VIDEO)

DJZigZag posts QUEEN IFRICA's 'FAR AWAY' 

more out of a feeling of guilt for not podcasting the latest SWEET DADDY FONK 'FUNK SHUI - BLUE PLATE' SPECIAL' 

and the ** all-new ** GROOVIN' BLUE [GB 09-05] 

than anything else.

Both new shows are 92.6% done - final touches mean these two shows will be ready for WAGRadio fans in six or seven days.
Peace
WAGRadio management.

LOOK TO THE BOTTOM LEFT IN 'ZIGZAGZ CHARTS' TO SEE A BIT OF CKLG AM / FM HISTORY PLUS THE 1967 'BEST OF' GROOVIN' BLUE CHART...

THIS CIRCA 1967 PHOTO SHOWS CKLG's PROGRAM DIRECTOR FRANK CALLAGHAN AT THE AM CONTROL BOARD.  

FRANK HIRED THE 24 YEAR OLD BILL REITER (DJZigZag) TO CREATE THE FIRST NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC PROGRAM HEARD ON CANADIAN RADIO.  ALTHOUGH, AT THE TIME, MR. CALLAGHAN THOUGHT GROOVIN' BLUE  WAS SIMPLY A BLUES SHOW.  

THE 1967 'BEST OF GROOVIN' BLUE' CHART DESCRIBES, BETTER THAN WORDS, WHAT THIS ALL-INCLUSIVE BLACK MUSIC RADIO PROGRAM WAS REALLY ABOUT.

Ha Ha Ho Ho Hee Hee 

One Mo' Again
Ha Ho Hee Ho Ha Hee Ho
YES ! !
Ah, the vibrancy of stoopid youthful humour - 

Ho Ha Hee Hee Ho ! ! ! 

WAGRadio luvs this ! !

WAGRadio SEZ - THERE ARE SOME THINGS THAT WE DON'T WANT OUR CHILDREN TO SEE AND HEAR . . .

And that's why we declare on our shows and now reiterate in print that 

WAGRadio and GROOVIN' BLUE is programming

FOR ADULTS 

ONLY 

AND NOT 

FOR CHILDREN.

"Ramping Shop" by VYBZ KARTEL & SPICE and LIL WAYNE's "Young Playa", featured in GROOVIN' BLUE SHOW 09-03, are examples of creative pieces of music with filthy, nasty lyrics. 

LYRICS THAT THE MANAGEMENT OF WAGRadio 

WOULD ONLY WANT ADULTS TO HEAR.

DJZigZag

COME AND GET IT ! ! WAGRadio HAS WHOMMPPED UP A NEW MESS OF VITTLES FOR YOUR LISTENING PLEASURE - A NEW GROOVIN' BLUE !!

This new Groovin' Blue features the complete side one of 

MILLIE JACKSON's must-have 1978 Southern Soul album 

"Get It Outcha System" 

- the same album DJZigZag played the title cut from on BRO' JAKE's ROCK 101 morning show (January - this year).

Also featured on GB 09-03 are; MULATTO PATRIOT, LIL WAYNE and Jam-Rock artistes VYBZ KARTEL & SPICE, DONIKI, and TANYA STEPHENS plus the hot new group BLU TRAIN featuring Vancouver, Canada's own BLU MANKUMA, A-TRAIN and DAVE PICKELL.  

Add to these the back, back, back, back before 'back in tha day' sounds of IKE QUEBEC (one of SWEET DADDY FONK's favourites) & JOHNNY COLES and GROOVIN' BLUE SHOW 09-03 is gravy-licious.
