Hey hey, it's the guy who spins him the Fat Cat in Record Land with
The big sounds from Happy Taffy Town, another go round in our special
World spinning at 45 RPMs. We've got the stack of wax, the ones to
Watch, the classics from the library of long ago. Whether you're
Off to the drive-in for a barbecue burgers and fries, pressing those
Peg pants for tonight's big hop, or heading over to the seawall to
Watch the submarine races, take us along for the ride and we'll keep
You rockin' and rollin' with the sporty 40, the nifty 50 from here
In the world famous playground. Here's a shout to young Walter Trout
Over in Ocean City working those chords on his guitar, and the guys
And gals down in Wildwood getting ready for tonight's big game
Hi, this is Larry Keen and that's pretty much what our teen world
Sounded like back in the late 50s and early 60s from Atlantic City
The same, of course, was going on all over America with the great
DJs of that wonderful era. The Rockin' Bird, Joe Niagara, Alan Freed
The good guys at MCA and WABC, Jerry Blabba, The Geator with a
Heater, Rockin' Robin, Dick Biondi, Sandy Beach, Georgie Woods with
The Goods, and of course, Wolfman Jack. In New York, LA, Chicago
New Orleans, St. Louis, Memphis, Philadelphia, young teenagers
Gathered 'round the radio and in many of those cities there was a
Mix of rhythm and blues, jazz, country, all blending in with rock
And roll to create extraordinary influences on the music of each
Succeeding decade. As Walter Trout would absorb the sounds from the
Radio and the blues from the great clubs in Atlantic City, his music
Would eventually come full circle. And Walter brought together some
Of the truly outstanding artists of our lifetime for this treasure
Trove of sounds influenced by each of their own sounds in their own
Cities. So no matter where you are all over the world, you've been
Listening to some of the greatest for all the cats and kitties from
The hills in the city. We hope you've enjoyed the big sounds from
Taffy Town as blues comes full circle with Walter Trout and Friends
