Roy's Record Room on CKUA
Tune in every Sunday at 1 PM Mountain Time / Noon Pacific Time, to Roooooy’s Record Room, the show that continues to revolve. You can stream it live at www.ckua.com. Fifteen years and counting!
Roy’s Record Room is a weekly radio show on the CKUA Radio Network, Hosted by singer/songwriter/performer/broadcaster, Roy Forbes. RRR is a program that unravels and reveals the roots of today’s tunes, for the pure joy of it. Roy spins some familiar but mostly obscure 78s, 45s and LPs from his ever-expanding record collection – sides that don’t show up on many other stations. He loves all kinds of music and explores that eclectic passion weekly on Triple-R Radio.
Roy first came to CKUA at the age of twenty in 1973, when he was invited to guest on Holger Petersen’s legendary ACME Sausage Company program. CKUA has supported Roy and his music since those early days, with his new album, “Edge Of Blue”, having recently spent some time in the upper reaches of CKUA’s Top 20 album chart. Roy’s Record Room (RRR) launched in 2006.
"I love the sense of history that CKUA gives me as a listener as well as the sense of the now and the future," says Roy. "CKUA is the sound of surprise. You never know what you'll hear next”.
Roy’s record collection is more like a record library - running into the thousands of discs, with some even sent in by loyal RRR listeners. His appetite for music is virtually unlimited and he finds creative revelations everywhere.

BLACK MUSICAL PIONEERS AT 78 RPM ON ROY’S RECORD ROOM
BLACK MUSICAL PIONEERS AT 78 RPM ON ROY’S RECORD ROOM
This week, on Triple-R Radio, Roy journeys back to the dawn of recorded sound for a celebration of Black Musical Pioneers at 78 rpm. He starts in 1911 with the Fisk Jubilee Quartet and winds things up in 1935 with Duke Ellington’s “In A Sentimental Mood”.
In-between, you’ll hear an eclectic batch of performances from folks like Clifford Hayes’ Louisville Stompers (1927), Bert Williams (1919), Kokomo Arnold (1934), the Spirits Of Rhythm (1933), Noble Sissle & Eubie Blake (1924), Ethel Waters with James P Johnson (1928) and more, all spinning from ten-inch shellac 78 rpm records.
In the middle is a triple-shot of caffeine from the wild man of early Jazz, Cab Calloway. Cab and his band turn in a frenetic performance of “Some Of These Days”, a song written in 1910 by the Black Canadian composer and singer, Shelton Brooks. Shelton also penned “Darktown Strutters’ Ball”. Both songs now reside in the Canadian Songwriters Hall Of Fame. Hang on to your hats when the hi-de-ho man takes control of the turntable on RRR.
The spin begins this Sunday, February 8th at 2 PM, Mountain on donor supported CKUA Radio. Dial in for a celebration of Black Musical Pioneers at 78 rpm on Rooooy’s Record Room, the show that continues to revolve.
