IT'S 1967 . . . GROOVIN' BLUE IS BEING BROADCAST ON CKLG-FM IN VANCOUVER, B.C. CANADA AND IN LONDON THE MIGHTILY MIGHTY SOULFUL JR. WALKER & THE ALL-STARS HAVE THE RAM JAM CLUB MOVIN' AND BELIEVEIN' ! ! !

IT'S INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST THAT THE BLACK BRITISH AUDIENCE REMAINS SO STILL DURING THIS PERFORMANCE.  RESTRAINED TO SAY THE LEAST.  BUT THEN AT THE END THEY MANAGE TO RAISE A LITTLE DUST BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THEY APPRECIATE IT ON A MUCH LESS VISCERAL LEVEL THAN A NEW WORLD AFRICAN AMERICAN AUDIENCE.

VANCOUVER B.C. SUN NEWSPAPER SCRIBE-EXTRAORDINAIRE - Mr. JOHN MACKIE SENT WAGRadio THIS AD FROM THE 1960'S of The SMILIN' BUDDHA WHEN NEW WORLD AFRICAN MUSIC ACTS RULED ! !

YA GOTTA WONDER WHO WAS IN THE HOUSE BAND "THE KINGSMEN"?  
WAS IT DOUG CUTHBERT on DRUMS?  HENRY YOUNG on GEETAR?  LARRY VOLEN on TENOR SAX?  And I KNOW THAT Mr. MACKIE FEELS IT'S THE SEATTLE BAND BUT I HAVE A GUT FEELING THESE "KINGSMEN" were LOCAL VANCITY MUSICIANS. . . and MOSTLY EAST ENDERS.  TRUTH TO FOLLOW?
AND LOOKAHERE ! !  THE WONDERFUL TEDDY FELTON - THE M.C. THAT DEFINED JIVE TALKIN' AND GOOD-LOOKIN'.  TEDDY WOULD SAY STUFF LIKE, "We gonna take a break and lissin' to J.B.  That's not James Brown, that's the jukebox" and "It's time for a coke and a smoke and then we'll be  back".  IT WAS Mr. T. FELTON WHO INTRODUCED THE MIC-CHECK PHRASE, "Tastin'.  Tastin'" INSTEAD OF, "Testing, testing" to the musicians of VanCity.    
DJZigZag CLAIMS THAT EVEN THOUGH HIS PALS WERE IN THE HOUSE BAND  . . . HE WAS AFFEARED OF GOIN' TO THE GIT-DOWN WHALIN' SMILIN' BUDDHA.
ANYBODY KNOW HOW THE PLACE GOT IT'S NAME?
THANK YOU JOHN MACKIE FOR SUCH A GREAT GIFT.

** LATEST COPY OF ENGLAND'S 'BLUES & RHYTHM' MAGAZINE ARRIVES ** PERFECT TIMING CUZ DJZigZag IS RECUPERATING AT HOME . . . NOW LET'S SEE THOSE BACK COPIES TOO ! !

We here at WAGRadio have subscriptions to a few good magazines.  Each and every issue of "In The Basement", "Juke Blues", "Jazziz", "Blues & Rhythm" and "Wax Poetics" is read from cover to cover and passed around the station.  Sweet Daddy Fonk's favourite is "In The Basement" and he looks forward to seeing this wonderful  mag up and running again soon.  

It seems that DJZigZag is always anticipating the latest issue of "Blues & Rhythm".  Editor Tony Burke and his co-horts - Byron Foulger, Tony Watson, Phil Wight, Mike Stephenson, Ray Templeton and Norman Dawson have always been a group of, not only, very professional journalists, but just-plain-good-guys in our dealings over the years.  

Interestingly, the cover design is by local Vancouverite Bob McGrath (originally a Brit) who also publishes through Eyeball Productions, the much-heralded Soul, Blues and R&B Indies discographies.  Bob's latest gem (co-produced with Les Fancourt) is 'The Blues Discography: 1943-1970'.  

DJZigZag just spent an hour with Bob McG. in West Vancouver, B.C. chatting and picking up 4 copies of this current tome for;  WAGRadio's library, Mike "EastEndKingaDaBlues" Cvetkovich, Ari "King Records" Anas and Co-Op Radio's "Blues In The Night" host and producer Ron Simmonds.

One of the great things about Blues & Rhythm magazine is the generous New World African American Music knowledge that pours forth from each new monthly issue (currently #274).  

While DJZZ and WAGRadio's 'Groovin' Blue' program features Frank Ocean, Usher, Masspike Miles, R Kelly, Andre 3000, Sizzla Kolonji  etc - we are also very knowledgeable of and have lived the music in the 1950's and '60's.  The stories and history of West Coast black-musicologist Mike Cvetkovich also provides us with a look-back to the wonderful 1940's.  Not only does Blues & Rhythm fill in the details and sweep us along the New World African Music road to days long in the past they also feature the music we grew up with plus today's Soul, R'n'B and Blues scene.  What a great, great magazine.
