We also lost George Young this week. Though not household names in America, George and his songwriting partner Harry Vanda, both of whom were members of Australian pop gods The Easybeats in the '60s, crafted a body of irresistible rockin' pop. Vanda and Young songs were recorded by their own groups The Easybeats, Grapefruit, Moondance, Flash And The Pan, and Marcus Hook Roll Band, by George's brothers' band AC/DC, and by the likes of The Bay City Rollers, The Raiders, The Saints, Suzi Quatro, David Bowie, and many others. On this week's show, we played some Fats Domino, we played some Vanda and Young, and we played some of that rock 'n' roll we love. Come on, fellow hamsters--we've got a lot of running left to do. Even when it's not easy, the music makes it a littler easier. This is what rock 'n' roll radio sounded like on a Sunday night in Syracuse this week.
This Is Rock 'n' Roll Radio with Dana & Carl, Sunday nights from 9 to Midnight Eastern, on the air on The Spark WSPJ-LP 103.3 and 93.7, and on the web at http://sparksyracuse.org/
