http://www.therenegaderoadhouse.co/ We stream southern rock, pop and country 24/7. Come have a seat - Beer is available for rent, I mean purchase... Two new videos from "Seventeen"have bee posted, Billie and Lillie - La De Dah at https://youtu.be/9Bja8OjwZpU and a rarity by Buddy Knox - Swingin' Daddy at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHnpT-IZtQo (what's WOI, tv born of the atom? scroll down)

OK, ready or not, here's more strollin' from "Seventeen" (WOI-TV Ames IA 2/1/1958) If near the end, the kids don't seem quite on the beat, don't blame them, blame difficulties adding audio back to this selection. (ISU Special Collections has the entire kinescope posted on YouTube, sans songs for the most part.)

WOI-TV, atomic-powered television? It didn't use nuclear power, at least not at first. But it's been strongly rumored that Iowa State College (now University) got the seed money to build the station by helping to enrich uranium for the Manhattan project during WWII.

In case y'all didn't know, that was "Daddy G" (Gene Barge) on sax. He backed Chuck Willis on a few of his songs, as well as other great singers on the Atlantic label in the '50s, before really finding his groove in the early '60s with Gary U.S. Bonds. "Quarter to Three," one of the top-selling records of 1961, was originally called "A Night with Daddy G." That same year The Dovells mentioned him in their biggest hit, "The Bristol Stomp." He will be 90 years old next year and he definitely deserves entry into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a sideman. It's a shame and a crime they haven't inducted him yet. He was as much a part of the early R&R scene as anyone else who is in there.

LOL , now is there still any doubt that Niggers are the true inventors of ROck and Roll? lol look at them White people trying to Stroll. They look like they would rather be at a Klan Rally, It that have been the true King of Rock and Roll, No Not Elvis, I mean Niggers. They would have been strolling down that line like they were running from the police. lol
