By: Emily Scholle<\/em><\/p>\n For those of you who listen to my show on a somewhat regular basis, you know how much I love the 1960s. Well I\u2019ve decided to go backwards this week and focus on my records from the 1950s. It\u2019s been awhile. It\u2019s time to dust them off.<\/p>\n As of late, I\u2019ve gotten really interested in music of the Rockabilly genre. Finding it is more difficult than one would realize, because a lot of the big names are popular enough that most people don\u2019t want to sell or donate those records. I have a couple 45s of the Crickets (Buddy Holly\u2019s band) and I did manage to pick up a Jerry Lee Lewis 45 the other day, but that\u2019s sadly just about all I own. I was reading up on the genre earlier and I subsequently realized that my shows as of late have contained music from the 1960s to \u201880s. This is not to say that I don\u2019t like music of the 50s, quite the contrary. A lot of my top movies are set in the 1950s (American Graffiti, Grease, Back to the Future, etc) and a large part of the reason is the music.<\/p>\n A lot was going on at this time of course. Having not been fortunate enough to be alive during the 1950s, I can really just read and assume things. It seems like the 1950s were a pretty cookie-cutter time. Conformity was the norm and being an individual seemed almost dangerous. As such, I love the rebellion factor of music. Perry Como is just fine, but I can see how teenagers would look for more<\/em>; more danger, more intrigue, more sex. Rock and Roll was all the rage, or at least getting there. And how funny it is to us, to hear this music and think of how tame it sounds in comparison to music today. If nothing else, it\u2019s exuberant<\/em>. And on the rare occasion I go dancing, I realize how important and liberating it is to dance to music that shakes, rattles and rolls deep in your bones.<\/p>\n This week, I hope to bring a little of this into your Wednesday night. We\u2019re going to be rocking and rolling and remembering (or reminiscing) times past. We\u2019ll hear the Chordettes, Buddy Holly and the Crickets, Chuck Berry. Maybe I\u2019ll even bring my full LP soundtrack of \u201cAmerican Graffiti\u201d so Wolfman Jack can interject between songs. Either way, this week\u2019s show promises to have you bopping. I\u2019ll most likely be hopping in my socks in the KJHK studio between queuing up records, so slip off your saddle shoes and join me in spirit. Vintage Vinyl is on KJHK on Wednesday nights from 10-midnight.
