                                       SPECIAL MIT THOMAS VOIGT

                                              Hallo Musikfreunde, 

                                     ich möchte mich kurz vorstellen:

Mein Name ist Thomas Voigt. Ich bin Jahrgang 1966 und wie alle in meiner

Generation mit Schallplatten aufgewachsen. Allerdings kaufte ich mir von

meinem Taschengeld keine Platten der damaligen aktuellen Hitparade,

sondern von Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino usw. Im Freundeskreis war

ich damit leider der Einzige und musste Hohn und Spott über mich ergehen

lassen. Ich verbrachte auch viel Zeit vorm Radiogerät und hörte viel RIAS

(legendär die samstägliche Kultsendung mit Lord Knud „Evergreens A Go Go“),

SFB und die Rock ´n´ Roll und Oldiesendungen auf BFBS und AFN.

Inzwischen habe ich eine stattliche Musiksammlung, hauptsächlich

amerikanische Musik der 50er und 60er Jahre (Rock ´n´ Roll, Rockabilly,

Rhythm & Blues, Soul, DooWop und Country).

Seit Dezember 1990 habe ich nun im Offenen Kanal Berlin eine eigene

Hörfunksendung und spiele dort hauptsächlich Raritäten aus den 50er und

60er Jahren. Musikwünsche werden auch erfüllt. Außerdem gibt es in der

jeweiligen Sendung Kurzbiografien über einige Künstler zu hören. Ein großer

Vorteil gegenüber den kommerziellen Radiosendern ist sicherlich, dass

meine Sendung komplett werbefrei ist und alle Musiktitel ausgespielt

werden.

                                 Viel Spass beim Hören wünscht

                                                 Thomas

         Die Sendung ist im Berliner Kabelnetz auf 92,6 MHz bzw. 96,85 MHz,

                                       über Antenne 97,2 MHz

                  oder im Internet     www.okb.de     zu empfangen.

                   February 3, 2009:  The Hour The Music Died

                    22:30 - 23:30 GMT   -   23:30 - 0:30 MEZ/CET

The broadcast of a docu-drama with actors about Buddy's last hour on this earth.

"The Day The Music Died" is a well-used phrase to describe the tragedy
that extinguished three bright stars from the rock 'n' roll firmament:
Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and The Big Bopper.

This docu-drama sets out to establish what may have happened in the
final fateful hour before their plane crashed on that freezing February
night near Clear Lake, Iowa in 1959.

Detailed research by writers Richard Ward and Colin Birch unearthed a
wealth of first-hand recollections to guide this revealing and emotional
script. In addition, the cast used actual examples of the main
characters speaking to enhance the performance.

Among the cast is Laurence Bouvard, who played Buddy Holly's wife Maria
Elena in the West End production of Buddy in 1989, whom she met in order
to hone her characterisation.

The singers' final hour covers the end of their tumultuous gig at the
Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake, the car journey to Mason City Municipal
Airport through to boarding the hastily chartered Beechcraft Bonanza
four-seat light aircraft. Who and why they chose to fly is documented in
this bittersweet hour.

The dialogue is interspersed with music from the three musicians as well
as recreations of radio promos and reports of the time.

Cast list:

Rupert Degas - Buddy

Nic Colicos - The Big Bopper

Kerry Shale - Ritchie Valens

Dominic Hawksley - Tommy

William Roberts - Anderson

Susan Sheridan - Lucille

Laurence Bouvard - Maria Elena

           February 7, 2009:  Maria Elena Holly – My Life With Buddy

                      19:00 - 20:00 GMT   -   20:00 - 21:00 MEZ/CET       

Maria Elena Holly talks candidly to Don McLean about her whirlwind

romance,her eight-month marriage to Buddy and her life spent

championing his Name fifty years after 'the music died'.

Singer-songwriter McLean famously sang about the plane crash that killed Holly

and fellow touring companions Ritchie Valens, and J.P. Richardson (known as

The Big Bopper) in his number 1 hit ‘American Pie’.

Documentary producer Mark Rowles says, "My work as an independent producer

for the BBC has had a strong bias towards documentaries featuring great

songwriters and more than five years ago, I noted the fact that Maria Elena Holly

was the last direct living link to Buddy Holly, one of the key foundation writers

of rock ‘n’ roll.

"It’s well known that Maria Elena is a woman with distinct views on how her late

husband’s name should be remembered. Following a series of approaches, over

some four and a half years, Maria Elena recognised the importance of making a

candid audio documentary about her life.

"There are a number of subjects about which she has never been prepared to

speak. However, to my great delight, she felt relaxed enough to talk about

subjects close to her heart that she has carefully avoided for many years.

The result, in this case, is a truly unique insight into a brave and powerful

woman who happened to be married to one of the greats of rock ‘n’ roll.”

                                  Buddy Holly And The Crickets.

Fifty years ago, singer Buddy Holly died in a tragic air crash. The Who's Roger

Daltrey examines Buddy's key, but sometimes turbulent, relationship with his

manager, Norman Petty.

Buddy Holly was a natural musician from a musical family and, after performing in

several bands, Holly made his first official recording in Nashville for Decca Records,

but he scored no commercial success.

Enter Norman Petty - a producer, studio technician and competent keyboard player.

Petty had no grounding in rock 'n' roll, but enjoyed considerable commercial success

with his band, The Norman Petty Trio.

Thanks to Petty, That'll Be The Day took off in October 1957, topping the charts in

the USA and around the world. It was identical to the song cut a year earlier in

Nashville but now it had Petty's name on the record label as a writer.

Petty's name was to feature as composer on every hit record Buddy Holly And The

Crickets recorded. Petty installed himself as manager to Holly And The Crickets,

taking control of the finances. He gained power of attorney and diverted all record

and publishing royalties through his office, giving the group weekly expenses to live

on.

By 1958, Holly made plans to break with Petty and moved to Greenwich Village.

In response to Holly's move, Petty froze all Holly's royalties, effectively leaving him

"broke".

Needing cash, Holly decided to tour during one of the coldest, snow-bound winters

on record. After a third replacement bus had frozen up, Holly, fatefully, decided to

hire a plane in order to reach the next gig.

Although Holly's career was cut short, his songs remain a strong influence for

following generations of artists including The Beatles, Rolling Stones and The Who.

Contributors to the programme include Crickets drummer JI Allison; author John

Beecher; and Maria Elena Santiago.

Hello,

My name is Pete Casiello and I am an On-Air Host on

www.destinationdoowop.com It is an internet radio station that consists of  DJ's

(including myself) who put together weekly radio shows to keep the sound of the

"true" oldies alive.  On my show (Keystone Doo Wop), I play some of the best and

rarest Rock 'N' Roll and Street Corner Harmony.

I have been a long time fan of Ritchie's.  Unfortunately I am only 28 years old and

was not able to witness for myself his rise to fame.  For my show on Feb.3, 2009 I

am putting together a 50th anniversary tribute to Ritchie, Buddy Holly, and The Big

Bopper. 
 
I was wondering if you would allow me the honor and privilege to either interview

you for my show or have you submit to me some quotes that I could use on the

show and credit you and your website?

Thanks so much.

Pete Casiello

The show will include an interview with Bob Hale and some quotes by Hans.
