Here is Jimmie Rodgers in his first appearance since he had the steel plate removed from his head. We were lucky enough to get Jimmie to come on the Bozo/Night Prowl Cruise with us. My jaw hung open the whole time as I watched Jimmie play the classic folk tune “500 Miles” and dedicate it to his friend Buddy Holly. It was just breathtaking to watch. Now, you can see it to. Watch below. Thanks to Jimmie’s son, Michael Rodgers for providing this clip from the cruise.[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bRiPYuJl31k]

Night Prowl Cruise Photos

WOW! What a trip we had cruisin’ the Mexican Riviera. I have begun posting photos of our trip over on the Night Prowl Show Cruise ’08 page. If anyone has photos that they’d like me to post, please email them to me as an attachment. I want to get a nice cross-section of what the cruise was like, so I won’t be posting more of the same photos. I’m looking for different looking photos so everyone who couldn’t attend can see what it was like to cruise the Pacific.

We spent 8 days aboard the marvelous Norwegian Star cruise ship and stopped first at Acapulco, Mexico. We then dug the intimate and very refreshingly non-American Zihuatanejo and the beautiful Puerto Vallarta. We ended in Cabo San Lucas and then returned to our home port in Los Angeles. We couldn’t have had a nicer time. On the last day of the cruise, while we were at sea, we staged a memorable concert, featuring Jimmie Rodgers, who hasn’t performed in nearly 4 years and Freddy “Boom Boom” Cannon, who just brought the house down. Carl Dobkins Jr. and Judy Ricci also sang their hearts out. I want to thank The Truckin’ Bozo for including us Night Prowlers on his yearly cruise this year. We had a blast. Now go check out those pics!

Billy Vera on Doo Wop Thursday!

Doo Wop Thurdsay!

Our friend and resident music guru, Billy Vera returns to the Night Prowl Show for a very special Doo Wop Thursday Feature (Feb 28th). Rhino Handmade Records (www.rhinohandmade.com) has just released the third and final box set in their celebration of Atlantic Records 60th Anniversary. All three were compiled by Billy Vera and all three are great, but this is the one you’ve been waiting for; “Atlantic Vocal Groups: 1951-1963“. We’ll be highlighting some of the greatest tracks from this new 4 CD set as well as getting the story behind the story from the guy who not only compiled the set, but also wrote the liner notes. It’s always a great pleasure to have Billy on the show and I know this is going to be his best appearance yet.
