I DJ'd on WWOZ! Whee!
1) Baby Change Your Mind - Blind Boy Fuller
“Baby if you think I’m wild about you, you got to change your mind.” Yep. The ones who think I am wild about them are usually wrong; the ones I’m wild about either don’t know, or aren’t wild about me back.
2) We’ll Meet Again - Palmetto Bug Stompers.
I love the original WW2 anthem by Vera Lynn. And I am not embarrassed to say I found out about it from Pink Floyd The Wall.
3) Dupree Shake Dance - Champion Jack Dupree
4) Bloodstains - Lazy Lester
This song is creepy. How did bloodstains get on the WALL? Forensic scientists will tell you that doesn’t happen easily.
5) Shake ‘Em On Down - Mississippi Fred McDowell
6) That’s All Right - Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup
7) Shake Your Hips - Slim Harpo
8) .44 Blues - Howlin’ Wolf
9) TV Mama - Big Joe Turner
“I love my TV Maama… the one with the big wide screen.”
10) Look At Little Sister - Hank Ballard & The Midnighters
11) Beating Like A Tom Tom - Willy DeVille
12) Eternity - Ernest Kador
I played this to follow a K-Doe cover with a real K-Doe song. I love Willy DeVille but I wonder how NOLA music traditionalists think of his New Orleans album. I think it’s great. He’s a creepy Puerto Rican junkie.
13) You Don’t Move Me - Big Mama Thornton
14) Ride On Josephine - Bo Diddley
15) Forty Days - Ronnie Hawkins & The Hawks
I watched “The Last Waltz” last night.
16) Carol - Chuck Berry
17) Dew Drop Inn - Esquerita
18) Baby (We Got A Good Thing Goin’) - Rolling Stones version
19) Agent Double-O-Soul - Little Bob & The Lollipops
20) Ride Your Pony - Rufus Thomas
21) Walkin’ The Dog - Rufus Thomas
A two-for-one because I didn’t jump on the CD fast enough and it went right into the next track.
22) You Got What It Takes - Joe Tex
23) Polk Salad Annie - Tony Joe White
24) I’d Rather Be An Old Man’s Sweetheart (Than A Young Man’s Fool) - Candi Staton
25) Tell Mama - Etta James
26) Home In Your Heart - Solomon Burke
27) Down In The Valley - Solomon Burke
Another not-quick-on-the-draw moment.
28) Cry Baby - Garnet Mimms
This prompted a nice guy to call in from Philadelphia to say that Garnet was alive and well living there, but only singing gospel now.
29) Soul On Fire - LaVern Baker
30) Sweet Breeze - Wiley & The Checkmates
31) Hell - Nina Simone
32) Cherokee Dance - Bob Sanders with Willie Joe and His Unitar
I asked anyone who knew what a Unitar was to call in and tell me and someone did. It’s a guitar with all the strings tuned to the same pitch.
33) All Night Long - Jerry Lee Lewis
34) Mojo Mama - Don Varner
35) Short Stopping - Veda Brown
In this song, short-stopping is a bad thing a man does to his girlfriend, but it’s not apparent exactly what it is.
36) I Found Out - Nathaniel Mayer
This is when I ran out of my own songs from the plan I made and was recycling CDs and pulling stuff from the stacks.
37) Sweet Breeze - Vernon Green and the Phantoms
Not the same as the Checkmates “Sweet Breeze.” This song is creepy.
38) You Better Get It - Joe Tex
I decided to play more Joe Tex in the spirit of education. I was learning how to be a DJ, and almost every Joe Tex song contains a little lesson.
39) Pass The Hatchet - Roger & The Gypsies
40) I’ll Take Her - Eddie Floyd
41) Crackin’ Up - Bo Diddley
“Baby if you think I’m wild about you, you got to change your mind.” Yep. The ones who think I am wild about them are usually wrong; the ones I’m wild about either don’t know, or aren’t wild about me back.
