Outstanding! This is the music that roused me fifty years ago, when lyrics were understandable, melodies were singable, and it was all moved!! Thank you, Rosie, for a great show and for bringing back the best of the good old days.

I love to learn and Rosie, you are a wonderful teacher. I just got put wise to this program. found you because of your program that included Big Al Downing. You aren't carried on my local stations so it's via the net. How can I hear all 10 sessions you offer?

Will a soundtrack be made available for this series? Every tune has been perfect and I'm dying for a collection of the music featured in this series. I have quite a bit of it on LPs, but I would happily pay for a cd collection of the pieces featured on this series.

I listened to the entire program on KCRW on july 4th. I had to work a twelve hour shift. the program made every minute worth while. (also the double time and a half). It also made me feel so proud to be an american.

Rosie Flores, if more politicians, radio progammers, and corporate types were as American as you, it would be a much better country and so would the radio airwaves.

Now more Americans know what the Europeans have known about us for decades: that there is first rate American music culture; appreciated abroad but stifled at home as usual.

Rockabilly is fun to listen to! The torch still burns here and abroad and,maybe someday, it can return to a respetable place on the commercial airwaves as well.

Can't get enough. How about another 10, 20, 30, oh heck, just keep it coming. I went to CLU radio station to get the site so I can listen in the eveing by way of the computer.
I was a drummer playing this music with friends after we finished college. To this day, my feet shake to the beat ...
