  • “The Stories Behind the Songs”
    “The Stories Behind The Songs” John Henderson The Stories Behind The Songs A compilation of “inside stories” behind classic country hits and the artists associated with them John Debbie & John By John Henderson (Arrangement by Debbie Henderson) A fascinating and entertaining look at the life and recording efforts of some of country music’s most talented singers and songwriters 1 Author’s Note My background in country music started before I even reached grade school. I was four years old when my uncle, Jack Henderson, the program director of 50,000 watt KCUL-AM in Fort Worth/Dallas, came to visit my family in 1959. He brought me around one hundred and fifty 45 RPM records from his station (duplicate copies that they no longer needed) and a small record player that played only 45s (not albums). I played those records day and night, completely wore them out. From that point, I wanted to be a disc jockey. But instead of going for the usual “comedic” approach most DJs took, I tried to be more informative by dropping in tidbits of a song’s background, something that always fascinated me. Originally with my “Classic Country Music Stories” site on Facebook (which is still going strong), and now with this book, I can tell the whole story, something that time restraints on radio wouldn’t allow. I began deejaying as a career at the age of sixteen in 1971, most notably at Nashville’s WENO-AM and WKDA- AM, Lakeland, Florida’s WPCV-FM (past winner of the “Radio Station of the Year” award from the Country Music Association), and Springfield, Missouri’s KTTS AM & FM and KWTO-AM, but with syndication and automation which overwhelmed radio some twenty-five years ago, my final DJ position ended in 1992.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Mark St John Is Not on FB and Has Asked That This Be Posted Here
    Mark St John is not on FB and has asked that this be posted here: Statement from Mark St. John As some of you will know – it’s very unusual for me to become involved in anything on the Internet and I usually maintain a low profile to keep the focus on the artists that I manage. However, because of the special nature of The Bay City Rollers’ fans and their incredible loyalty and support – and because of the misleading statements made by Dave Herron – DJ Dizzy – in this case I’m going to make an exception. I make no bones about the fact that neither myself, nor the members of The Bay City Rollers that I represent (everyone except Les), are happy about DJ Dizzy’s actions and activities. He has publicly stated that: “I received an email from an individual called Mark St. John who claims to be the manager of the Bay City Rollers and claims to represent Derek, Eric, Stuart and Alan Longmuir. I have yet to confirm whether this Mark St John has any authority to make such claims…” Hmmm… This is a surprising statement for someone who claims to be a major fan of the Band to make. Most of you genuine, hard core fans will be well aware that I am the Mark St. John who was responsible for re-uniting the original Bay City Rollers line-up and bringing back major, worldwide focus to the Band on the global stage. Under my care they recorded major TV shows – The BBC documentary “The Bay City Rollers – Remember”, VH1’s “Behind The Music” – and the Channel 4 documentary about their missing money – “Who Got The Rollers’ Millions” – where I was the featured expert witness for the show.

  • Chieftains Message
    No 3 1938 — 75th Anniversary — 2013 July 2013 Chieftains Message Here we are again, coming into the busy period for the committee. The Winter Ceilidh is only a few weeks away and everything is in place to ensure it is a good evening. We are using a new venue for the society for this event. The Stirling Bowling Club, situated on Jones Street, Stirling. A number of the committee have visited the venue after it had been mentioned at a committee meeting and they have had nothing but praise for the high standard of the premises. They have a huge dance floor which should make the dances that "Alba Gu Brath" much more enjoyable. Don't forget to return your application forms to the Treasurer as soon as possible. COMMITTEE 2012-2013 The St Andrew's Day Ball is also fast approaching. Again the committee Chieftain are working hard to make this an event to remember. If anyone has any suggestions on how we can make our 75th Anniversary event Brian McMurdo something special, please do not hesitate in contacting any of the committee, who ensure that your ideas are heard at the next Immediate Past Chieftain committee meeting. Ken Suttie On Saturday July 6th, my wife Alice and I along with another 9 Vice Chieftain members of the Society had pleasure in attending the Bunbury MacAussies Ceilidh. I certainly admire the organising committee for Doris LaValette the efforts they put in with not very much support from the local community. However we still managed to have a great night.
