Information about
me and activities; well i love music, Old Country & Western the stuff that i grew up with, like at The Movies...Roy &
Gene The Sons Of The Pioneers, Vaughn Monroe, my all time favorite Songs are, Ghost Riders In The Sky, "The Cowboy Legend"
also there was this song, Single Saddle, i thought it was a flip side of Riders, but i can't find the song any where,
on any old information during that era, Only Recently i have found the Song on a Dillard's CD, a short version...
guess i am happy a little...
You see, My Dad
used to have jukeboxes, those old big ones, with all the lights, etc...they were beautiful...anyway i used to put my head
in there, and pretend to be singing, little did i know then, its broadcasting! Then around the late 50's, i used to listen
to over night radio, well this song came on, The Harlem Nocturne, by J. J. Jones ( KYA Radio 1260 AM San Francisco ) then,
later another version of The Song came over the airways, this Time By The Viscounts, here i am laying in bed, WOW! this is
kool man! this would be a perfect Theme Song...next Story, took a Job in The San Jose area, while driving in the hills, i
picked up this station that had Hawaiian music, ( The Pau Hana Show now Called Aloha Friday ) next time i picked up this station
they had Rhythm & Blues, WOW!, ( The Jim Dandy To The Rescue Show ) this is the stuff from The 50's just like KSAN 1450
AM & KWBR/KDIA 1310 AM...then one morning went to work early and turn on the Radio "Yes KKUP Cupertino; 91.5 FM" WOW!
man!!! they have an Oldies Show too!... ( Big Dan's Oldies Show ) next i became part of this show,
Big Dan had me give my view points and using a backround song...i was thinking & thinking What!!!, i could not use Wee
Wee Hours by Chuck Berry, that was at that time my theme opening song, also with Dan' s Shake Rattle & Roll by Big Joe
Turner...well it finally came to me Yes!!! The Harlem Nocturne By The Viscounts... i replaced Big Dan, when he retired,
from broadcasting, and the rest is History at The KUP...Using The Harlem Nocturne as my personal theme song forever, also
i use different ones now and then, the other best one is, by "The Master of All Time, Mr. Johnny Otis" the early
one from Savoy Records... Johnny has recorded this song many times...
Next Connection
to Johnny, is, The Royals-aka The Midnighters; Johnny wrote their 1st Hit record Every Beat Of My Heart...guess what? it was
recorded on My Birthday January 8, 1952...then Hank Ballard & The Midnighters, creator and writer of The Twist, well,
we, should all know the story on The Twist...Yes Chubby did it lick by lick...& Had Dick Clark in his corner...since early
on, in my life, i love harmony music, and good rockin' stuff, and this is what this group did best, and then Hank's voice,
he took over as Lead Singer in 1953... down the road i met Hank and The New Midnighters, Band & Group, we became instant
friends, "They bestowed on me, Their #1 Fan of All Time" my come back to this was, one of the many #1 Fans of All Times, of
The Band & Group! ... along with Hank's wife Teressa, The both Us, T & G would dance at the shows, Then
Roadie with them, when in California, my association with Hank lasted up til his passing, what a great loss, as was James
Dorsey, one of The Best Midnighters of All Time...during Hanks last make up of The Group...a year prior to Hanks passing...Now
