WHYR Down The Road 063. Aired June 8, 2014. We start the show playing music for solo piano by Dr. John, James Booker, Louis Moreau Gottshalk, Willie Tee, Allen Toussaint, and Professor Longhair. Then have music for piano backed up by a band by Professor Longhair, Joe Krown, James Booker, Dr. John, Tom McDermott, Archibald, and Fats Domino. In the second hour we play old New Orleans rock and roll by Huey Piano Smith, Lloyd Price, Smiley Lewis, the Spiders, Charles Hungry Williams, Lee Allen, Shirley & Lee, Fats Domino, the Dixie Cups, and Irma Thomas. In the last half hour, we keep playing the old rock and roll, but work our way into funk with Ernie K-Doe, Lee Dorsey, Allen Toussaint, the Meters, and Eddie Bo. Enjoy!
