Free For All Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Have to say, some of it looks pretty good. 50 hours in a row though, that's bordering on some "waterboarding" shit. Free For All thinks aloc is quite fond of the "rolling eyes smiley". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neal Pomea Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Someone at that radio station doesn't know what Zydeco music is or doesn't know the difference between Zydeco, Creole, and Cajun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Dorward Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 I don't know the difference myself! Please explain.... The 50-hour country feature sounds great (since it's evident from the program listing that it's the REAL stuff). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Pomea Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 This link does a good job explaining it: http://www.lsue.edu/acadgate/music/history.htm It would have been more appropriate to include Cajun music, which is like the country music of the French speaking Cajuns, than Zydeco, which began as a mix of Creole and blues, rhythm and blues and rock and roll but now is mixed with hip hop and soul. Including Zydeco in the program is about like including electric blues music like Muddy Waters and Bobby Blue Bland. This Web site that I authored represents Cajun music from the 20s to the 60s basically: http://npmusic.org (Didn't mean to shanghai the thread! The radio program looks interesting!)

WorldB3 Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Wow, sounds like a great weekend of music, I love that stuff instead of the "pop with boots" that gets passed as new country by the nashville machine these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van Basten II Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 What's the point of 50 straight hours devoted to a subject on radio, would the fans of this be better served having it offered on small doses on a regular schedule. I agree there is a lot of great stuff but who's got the time to listen to all of that in one weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7/4 Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 What's the point of 50 straight hours devoted to a subject on radio, would the fans of this be better served having it offered on small doses on a regular schedule. They do: The Moonshine Show Sundays, 10am-12pm Bluegrass and old-time music programming first appeared on WKCR in 1966. The Moonshine Show, hosted by Matt Winters, continues this long standing tradition, presenting the hill country string music of the Mid-South via classic recordings and frequent live in-studio performances. The full spectrum of this living art form is covered each Sunday morning. The Tennessee Border Show Sundays, 12pm-2pm Comprising one half of WKCR's country programming, The Tennessee Border Show focuses on the masters of country music from the latter-half of the twentieth century. The show is also not afraid to delve back into country music forefathers, like Hank Williams and Jimmie Rodgers. Over the years, the show has established itself as a source for information about 'real' country music, where elsewhere, commercial country has had the effect of erasing the real music from the record. Honky Tonkin' Tuesdays, 10pm-11:30pm Whereas The Tennessee Border Show focuses on country music from the latter-half of the twentieth century, Honky Tonkin' is dedicated to the country music of the 1940's and 1950's. One might think that this would limit the show to 78-era recordings, but just this year, a new Honky Tonkin' tradition was born with the premier of the WKCR Radio Jamboree. Occurring the third Tuesday of every month, the WKCR Radio Jamboree has a house band, Sheriff Uncle Bob and the Goodtimers, as well as a new act each month in an attempt to recreate the feeling of live radio in the classic country years of the late 1940's.

Neal Pomea Posted March 29, 2008 Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 You can get a good idea of the early days of Zydeco from the program playing Saturday from 7-10. Doesn't have anything to do with country music, but the music being played is very good! I am hearing vintage Clifton Chenier right now.

alocispepraluger102 Posted March 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2008 however, cajun and country music blend seamlessly. jimmy c. newman has done it with great success for over 50 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
