Kia ora koutou everyone from New Zealand, where our 102 days of being COVID free in the community has come to an end.

What makes the show special is that our listeners set the direction. I have some topics for the week, but if you want to raise anything else, feel free.

This week I’ll be speaking with David Kingsbury. David works for the Carroll Centre for the Blind, and he’s a technology author. His latest book is called “When One Web Browser Is Not Enough: A Guide for Windows Screen Reader Users”. It’s a good read and it has helpful stuff in it.

If you have an artist or a band you love, email me with their name, your favourite songs, and your memories of them. Better still attach a sound recording and join me on the show, just like our special Fun Guy guest.

King Records, Part 10: Federal Records, Part 2: 1954-56 this week on The Juke In The Back!

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
This week, it’s part 10 of a 10 part feature on the great King Record Label, out of Cincinnati. Syd Nathan, who began putting out records under the King logo in 1943, developed King as a hillbilly music label. After seeing the sales potential in the Rhythm & Blues market, Nathan launched the Queen Records subsidiary in 1945, but folded it into King in 1947 and transferred his R&B acts over.

A Dummy and a Rogue on the Next Dusty Attic

The show airs at midnight, 4 AM, 8 AM, noon, 4 PM and 8 PM Eastern time.
