Just wanted to share this video from David Letterman. Not only does Wanda Jackson still have it, Jack White is excellent as is their band. I'm a little upset that the White Stripes broke up, but this is the BEST thing Jack has done since. I'm so glad that he looked up Wanda Jackson and saved another legend. It reminds me of what Elton John did for Leon Russell.
First of all, Wanda Jackson may look like your grandma, but she still has an amazing voice and could whoop some butt. They don't call her the Queen of Rockabilly for nothing. I think it's great Rockabilly's coming back because of her and others like Imelda May. It was a big, popular form of music in the Fifties and died by the Sixties.
Wanda not only did a great cover of 'Shakin' all over,' she rocked it doing Amy Winehouse and Bob Dylan!
I really want this album but it's only available in vinyl so I'll just have to settle for listening to the old stuff and youtube videos.
Wanda Jackson is an amazing artist and I'm so glad that she still has that distinct voice and drawl.

You say goodbye and I say Hello!
Hello all. It's been a few weeks since I last updated. I started college classes again and my radio show so I've been quite busy!
I realized something though about this blog. I was going to be posting my show and podcasts on here but the server that I use doesn't give me a whole lot of space so I have to constantly update it to a few files at a time. This doesn't give me the option of posting my show on here.
I've tried other websites like soundcloud and ayos ishare which are good for posting a file every once in a while.
I'm going to start using this blog for my personal use more so. As you can tell, I'm a huge Beatles fan and love all kinds of music.
I've got this photo that my brother has that he found online of John Lennon. It looks like someone took it in his home. It looks to be around the same time that John and Cyn were getting divorced. I just love how laid back John is and I was wondering what magazine/newspaper that was he's reading?
