Roy spins tracks from Nat Shilkret with Willard Robison, Jimmie Rodgers, Little Jr. Parker & His Blue Flames, Paul Clayton, Billy Lee Riley & His Little Green Men, the Davis Sisters, Billie Holiday, Bobby Vee, Billy ‘The Kid’ Emerson, and more.

That’s Sunday, May 25^th, 2 PM, Mountain, on donor supported CKUA Radio. Dial in for The Roots of Bob Dylan on Rooooy’s Record Room, the show that revolves and reveals.
