Night Prowl Show

James Burton

This picture was taken in 1959 at a Ricky Nelson show in Seattle by Virginia Houser. There’s a young James Burton burnin’ up on guitar. By 1959, at almost 20 years old, James Burton was already a pro. He had already worked with Bob Luman, Dale Hawkins and Ricky Nelson. This week, the Night Prowl presents a very special Rockabilly Thursday as our Rockabilly guitar hero, James Burton joins us as special guest. Hear all about what it was like to play Rockabilly in the heyday of Rockabilly by a cat who was not only there, but was also shaping the way Rock n’ Roll guitars were being played.

Featuring Dave Goddard Of The Aquatones!

This is a very special Doo Wop Thursday as we get the opportunity to speak to Dave Goddard, one of the founding members of Long Island’s own Aquatones. Dave will give us the story behind the story on the group from its beginnings to their smash hit “You” and beyond. “You” is a true Doo Wop classic and continues to make prowler’s top doo wop lists.

Along with The Aquatones, Doo Wop Thursday will of course feature your favorites from The Cadillacs, The Flamingos, The Moonglows, The Clovers, The Penguins and many more.

Canadian recording star, Bobby Curtola joins Matt The Cat this Thursday as part of the Night Prowl’s very first “Canadian Thursday” theme.

Bobby had 25 gold records in Canada, even though he is best remembered for his 2 American hits in 1962 (“Fortune Teller” and “Aladdin”). Don’t miss what is destined to be one of Matt The Cat’s best interviews.

PLUS, Canadian Thursday will also include a 50 year old Canadian radio survey countdown from CHUM in Toronto. Oh, Canada, your neighbor to the south salutes you, this Thursday on Canadian Thursday.
