This week in Rhythm & Roots #25 I play a track by Willie Joe Duncan and his Unitar. I’ve played Willie Joe’s music before, but I thought the Unitar needed some additional context.
As this photo shows the Unitar was a 7+ foot plank of wood with a single wire strung along its length. Seasick Steve calls a similar, albeit smaller instrument, a one stringed diddley bow.
I reckon if that unitar string broke it could’ve taken Willie Joe’s head clean off!
Where EVER you are in the world, what EVER time of day it is, prepare yourself for a Rocking Good Time with me your host and DJ, Reverend hep. This weeks show is brought to you with the theme of “Time”
This weeks show is all about “Time”. Here’s a little teaser it’s “Madison Time”!
No theme this week just a stroll through a Meandering mind meadow, an insight into my own interior monologue, giving rise to an hour of Rockin’ Rhythm n Roots just for you
Hey, all you Saints & Sinners, friends and listeners, I sincerely hope you are enjoing my weekly shows on Rockin’ Rhythm And Blues Radio. I’ve had some great feedback from people saying how much they enjoy my music selections, and how I play some tracks that they have never heard before.
I try and mix up the genres and play music that I think is very popular and also some rarer tunes I have in my collection. But my question is what would YOU like to hear? Do you have a song or tune in your head that you would like me to track down for you and get some airtime on a show?
Over to you, let me know what you’d like to hear.
Dedicated to the eptitome of rockin Rhythm n Blues. Friends and neighbours its The Screamers and The Shouters. Strap yourselves in Sinners!
Join me in celebrating parties of all kinds, celebrations, fancy balls, shindigs functions and general good times.
No Theme this week just another eclectic musical stream of consciousness
From Anita Tucker to Tiny Bradshaw
I play a 1955 track by Big Tiny Kennedy in my Rhythm & Roots Radio Show #21
