episode date - January 7, 2009
Well, another year of music history is behind is, while a new year has opened up before us. I always have a great deal of fun preparing this show, but 2008 was especially enjoyable, if for no other reason than that it provided some much needed distractions from the other news. Today we resume our usual format, by looking at popular music from fifty years ago – January 1959, to be specific.
So, here’s a salute to 1959, while hoping that 2009 offers us a reprieve from the hard times behind us (As a side note, we do NOT play the #1 song from January 1959 – “The Christmas Song” by David Seville & the Chipmunks – because it’s January 6, and I think we’ve all had our fill of Christmas music by now).
Songs included in today’s program include:
1) Stagger Lee – Lloyd Price
2) La Bamba – Richie Valens
3) C’mon Everybody – Eddie Cochran
4) Moovin’ n’ Groovin’ – Duane Eddy
5) Cannonball – Duane Eddy
6) Ramrod – Duane Eddy
7) Barbara Allen – The Everly Brothers
8) I’m Here to Get My Baby Out of Jail – The Everly Brothers
9) Down in the Willow Garden – The Everly Brothers
10) Come Dance with Me – Frank Sinatra
11) Day In, Day Out – Frank Sinatra
