Coverlettes Bring Back Spectorian Christmas 1963
SPECTOR CHRISTMAS ALBUM HOLDS UP WELL TODAY
Listen to Phil Spector, himself, as he introduces his famous Christmas album, circa 1963; then, watch and listen as some of those who actually worked on the album discuss the long hours they all put into it. Cher was one of them, a 16-year-old back-up singer on the album. Then, in the second video, listen to side one of the great Spector album, featuring with 'White christmas' like you've never heard it along with all the others... Phil Spector may be wallowing in jail today, but the his incredible music lives on and credit all those who played

Dr. Demento Still Going Strong 40 Years Later
In 1972-3 I used to listen to Dr Demento a nd his 'demented' music on the radio while getting kicked out of UCLA. It wasn't the good doctor's fault. I was just a lousy student, or I'd rather be working int he real world at KLA's radio station, as I did, or out learning in the real world. So much for pre-med. And, it was the same good doctor who, interestingly, was largely responsible for helping me graduate after being on probation. You see, he had just started teaching a class on the History of Rock and Roll at UCLA. Well, they told me I could take any two classes and I had to get a

JACKIE WILSON LIVES, MEETS DEAN MARTIN
Well not exactly, but the legends of Jackie Wilsoon and Dean Martin certainly do live on through the inspiratoinal performances of their offspring, who just happened to perform on the same stage, only hours apart Nov 26, 2011.
WHERE'S HE BEEN HIDING!
BOBBY WILSON HAS IT!
Bobby Wilson, who also goes by Bobby Brooks and Bobby Brooks Hamilton, as on the attached video, is the living embodiment of his Dad. He looks like him, sings like him and has THE PERSONALITY! He even dresses right out of 1957, including the pompadour; his earling is the only anachronistic piece in the entire

San Francisco Surf City, Movie Mecca? Vintage Venues Live!
San Francisco Surf City? You don't think of SF as a surf mecca, with its cold weather and lack of surf. But wait!

Chris (sometimes surfer ) calls the SF Avenues near the beach his home along with a number of other surf groups with Pollo Del Mar and its leader Ferenc probably the leading promoter of San Francisco as a legit surf town. ...

REMEMBERING...
AL DAVIS was for the underdog, as he noted on occassion. He was the Oakland Raiders owner, coach, general manager and much more for almost 50 years. . He was a true character, in the good sense - a throwback with his 'Fifties' pompadour, jumpsuits and all. Though he was a man for the working class, which is why the folks of Oakland loved him, even after he took the football team to Los Angeles for 10 years before coming back. Davis may have lost the winning magic at the end but he will always be remembered for those 'black and white' 'just win baby' teams of the Sixties thru the 90s and his
New Sinatra Tribute LP Has Real Roots - Davi Sings Sinatra
Heard on the Michael Savage radio program... When you hear Robert Davi sing Sinatra you're not hearing some flavor of the day try to sing the songs of someone before his time devoid of the feeling of the era. Robert Davi grew up duinrg the 50s and 60s, heard Sinatra during his prime and even met and talked to the original! So, let's say Davi has all the qualifications to do Sinatra justice. In so doing, his new LP, just out, uses a full orchestra and was recorded in the same LA Capitol studios where Sinatra recorded many of his classic albums. Even the recording producer and engineer were

First Orbison Impersonator Goes Out in Style
Perhaps the only available video of Kent 'Kenny' Moril as Roy Orbison and just came across a beautiful music video, from Morril, sung in the Orbison voice, ironically titled 'Would You Like To Live Forever.' What a wonderful, moving way to go out for Kent Morril. Thanks 'Kenny' for the music and memories... Sorry to say , we couldn't find a single Orbison impersonator video from Kenny but a nice interview piece at the end...
KENNY MORRIL RIP
Just got word that Kenny (Kent) Morrill passed away , of cancer, recently in Northeast , U.s. Kenny was the first real Roy

KENNY MORRIL RIP
Just got word that Kenny (Kent) Morrill passed away , of cancer, recently in Northeast , U.s. Kenny was the first real Roy Orbison impersonator - and a good one.
I remember first ‘discovering’ him, quite by accident, when I was in the wine country at Windsor Winery sometime probably in 1989 or '90 - the years get away from me ...
I remember being totally astonished that anyone could sound so much like Roy Orbison. After no longer being able to see the original Roy in concert, I thought it great to be a able to have someone like Morrill help fill

JACK LALANNE
Jack LaLanne was/is my hero, for several reasons .
He grew up in Berkeley, CA, and had one of the first health club’ sin Oakland, not far from my home. I remember, as a kid, watching his TV program in living black and white. He was older but I loved his spirit and self-assured attitude, something perhaps lacking in myself. He would sing ‘There’s No Tomorrow’ to the melody of “o Solo Mio,’ more familiar to me then as Elvis Presley’s ‘It’s Now or Never.’
Before exercising was popular, Lalanne was perhaps the one guy you could get behind. He

For DOC SEVERINSON, Former
Johnny Carson Band Leader
There's No Stopping at 83
