One of my most used instrumental beds features the fine playing of Junior Watson. There are a few live versions of his rendition of The Hucklebuck that I call upon, and thanks to YOUTUBE, I now have a few more.
The version linked below, looks great, and sounds great too. Watch Junior set the standard for great playing and click on the link to kill 5 or so minutes with a smile on your puss.

You won’t have to search any further than our LIVE LISTEN LINK to hear another three hours of choice quality music, as our Master of Memorable Music that commercial radio has no time or taste for, DAVE ‘THE’ BOOGIE MAN, returns to regale your PC with the good stuff, commencing with his pre game festivities at about 7:30 Eastern Daylight Saving Time, and the usual mix of music and Dave’s curiously unbalanced comments and other stuff, are yours at 8:00 EDT.
I expect you to be in attendance, unless you are interested in meeting my pally Tony Spacheem, and his…er, associates.
Part of this weeks show will discuss not so much a particular topic, but the animus many display when the topic is breached by our broadcast, that topic being religion.
Yes, ‘they’ say one should never talk politics or religion in ‘mixed’ settings, and this is generally true or a good rule to be guided by when having a family get together and such.
My question to you, which you may answer by replying to this posting or by an e mail (the address: Johnplightning@AOL.COM) is simply this: Do you favor us discussing the topics of religion, faith, GOD and beliefs in general, or do you think we should eschew this ‘heavy’, controversial and often polarizing area of discussion?
A simple up or down vote as it were will do, or you may provide a more detailed response or you may register the equivalent of ‘present’.
I’d really like to ascertain whether or not the rationale for those who strongly object to such shows is based on their not wanting to hear comments disparaging of their beliefs, or contrary to their beliefs, or is it something else?
Your comments are most appreciated here, and hopefully also will be presented live this Sunday, all part of Americas best kept talk radio secret (Godamn it… er, so to speak), here at John Lightning.Com, home of original formula Radio NewYork International.
New York Post (or the New York Compost as it is known around these parts) cartoonist Sean Delonas, often critqued harshly around these parts, definitely got to me with this cartoon lampooning my states rather embattled and credibility challanged Governor, David Paterson.
I cannot tell a lie, when I saw this I started laughing out loud and for a while. Yes I am a sick SOB and I love this cartoon.
Meanwhile little bombs keep dropping that would be minor at best but his penchant for being disingenous when a little truth could have bailed him out is making him look mighty done these days.
Driven by the medias insatiable need for new political red meat, and his overall lack of competence, Paterson will probably be forced to go.
As far as race goes, sure it factors in here, but not significantly.
Yes, he is innocent until proven guilty, but he is surely guilty of being a mediocre govenor at best. If he goes now or at the end of his term, it will not be soon enough for someone I thought would be a worthy sucessor to Client #9. Truly a shame.
Tonight let the link provided below lead you to the seductive pleasures you’ll obtain listening to the audio ministrations of our own DAVE The BOOGIE MAN, as he regales you with another 3 plus hours of the finest music ignored by Conglomco radio.
Unless your health is already shot, or you don’t mind getting shot, call up our audio stream, at about 7:30 PM Eastern Time, when the pre-game festivities begin.
It’s all part and parcel of original formula Radio NewYork International, originating from (can you guess?)… New York City.
Finally! Technical issues and my laziness and the storm related OT that has left me an early to bed kinda guy more so than usual, have been resolved and the audio of our last two Extravagonzo’s is now ready for downloading and should be streaming live.
As usual, the shows are relatively representative of what we do and why we were recently voted the Internets ‘Best radio program for people with eclectic and weird tastes who lack the taste, class and personal respect to listen to something better’ (by the Institute of Recent Polls Inc. (a wholly owned subsidiary of 11L/RNI)).
So if you missed any or all of our recent outings please catch up while you have the chance and while I enjoy (hopefully) my ‘off’ week (so to speak, as it can be argued that I am ‘off’ every week!) until we reconvene with more silliness and seriousness in the mix you crave, on March 7th.
It’s another bi-weekly meeting of the Bi-Polar Bears Club, as chilly New York’s remnants of the original RNI pirate crew take to the net for another 2 or 3 hours of unbridled lunacy and lucidity, as 11L/RNI and your radio pally John P. Lightning extends himself once more for your infotainment.
Drop whatever other plans you may have made for Sunday evening, and bask in the soothing, cool emoluments of the talk and more show that is America’s best kept radio secret… DAMNIT!… Radio New York International.
PRE GAME FESTIVITIES: Commence at 7:30 Eastern
JOHN P. LIGHTNING & COMPANY: Saunters in at about 8 Eastern
See you on the radio (so to speak)
NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report) 
- Continuing her attack on the animated program “Family Guy,” former Alaska governor Sarah Palin said today that she was particularly offended by the show “as a fellow cartoon.”
“It always hurts to be attacked, but when you’re attacked by one of your own, that’s particularly hurting,” she said.
Gov. Palin says that the “Family Guy” attacks on her “highlight a growing problem in our society” which she called “cartoon-on-cartoon violence.”
She said that she planned to hold a “Cartoon Summit” to discuss the issue and would invite the country’s leading cartoon characters, including Homer Simpson, SpongeBob SquarePants, and Glenn Beck.
Our last Extravagonzo was yet another classic example of the infotainment we provide.
With my angry show open (as I ripped into the Big Guy) and as I threatened to spin totally out of control, I knew it would be a keeper.
The show will be available for downloading and streaming on Wednesday. I’ve been toiling on the railroad late into the PM hours, so I have not been at the 11L facility to upload the show yet.
If you missed it in favor of the Stupid Bowl, redeem yourself, you callous cad, and download or listen commencing Wednesday to another unedited, as it happened, warts and all edition of Original Formula Radio NewYork International.
And be sure to join Brother Dave this week, as he lays down the musical bed of dreams you should comfortably lay upon this week, as he cues up another three hours of essential music. As always, we thank you for your fealty to 11L/RNI… from New York City to the world!
TOKYO (The Borowitz Report) - Hoping to reverse a series of public relations setbacks, Toyota today unveiled a new slogan, “Drive a Toyota. You’ll Never Stop.”
Company spokesman Hiroshi Kyosuke said that the slogan was chosen after the company considered several others, including “Toyota Puts the Pedal to the Metal. And Keeps it There.”
Mr. Kyosuke said that the company considered, but then abandoned, the slogan, “Toyota. The Last Car You’ll Ever Drive.”
