ABOUT ME (ROCKIN' ROBBIE)HOW I STARTED ,When I was a young lad about 16 years old I heard rockin' music through my old buddy Joe Kelly sadly no longer with us because of his dad who lived through the 1950s and enjoyed what we are following now some 60 years later,back then all i knew was pretty much commercial rock'n'roll with th usual suspects,Jerry Lee Lewis,Little Richard,Elvis and many more with the usual songs associated with them relying on album compilations and second hand shops for singles as there wasn't much played on the radio and of course no internet and it was nearly a year later when i went to the Hop Bine rockin' club that i discovered a wider range of rockin' music such as rockabilly,doo-wop,rythmn'n'blues played by renowned DJ Fifties Flash and thought "WOW" its exciting stuff i never heard before. So my journey took a step forward into the more advanced rockin' scene making new friends and learning new sounds,well some 37 years later the rockin' scens is still going strong and I enjoy recording weekly rockin' shows on Mixcloud.I also set up a radio station playing rockin' music 24/7 called Rockin'50s radio where you can hear all types of rockin' music like in the clubs. All in all my journey continues today following the music I love and still keep in touch with friends from way back then and made new ones too. Well keep on rockin' my dear friends. |
