The Story of Rock and Roll Radio Show

Episode 22 went live from the Mix 93.8 FM studios at 00h00 on 7 June 2019.  TSORR Radio Show rocked from start to finish, kicking off with fast paced ACDC and Iron Maiden and finishing off with Guns ‘n’ Roses and Pantera.  In between we played songs from 8 countries and 6 decades.  There was a quiet moment where we paid our respects to SA rock legend Piet Botha who sadly passed away this week.  It...

Episode 21 went live from the Mix 93.8 FM studios at 00h00 on 31 May 2019.  It was great fun and includes a few classic live radio type bloopers that are left as is.  You get the show as it happened and because they are funny and we all need a laugh.  This episode, as always gives you recommended weekly dose of rock, metal, ballads and blues.  There is plenty to sink your teeth into.     As usual...

Episode 20 went live from the Mix 93.8 FM studios at 00h00 on 24 May 2019.  The show starts with the last chords of Mike Tymvios' amazing Rock Roadhouse and then segues into the TSORR opening Dr Who theme and we don't quit the rock and roll for the next two hours.  As usual I ran out of time and had to cut a lot of good stuff however I did manage to play you a full dose of the best rock,...

Episode 19 of TSORR went live at midnight on 10 May 2019.  It's probably the first show that had a mellow start in the form of ACDC's Rock 'n' Roll Ain't Noise pollution. The audience reaction to this episode was excellent on the Whatsapp line.  That was good to know as it was probably the most diverse show I have done so far.  It ranged from Joe Jackson to Metallica, Alic...

Episode 18 of TSORR Radio Show went out live at midnight on 3 May 2019 from the Mix 93.8 FM studios in Midrand Johannesburg.  It was not a textbook start by any means.  I was in Studio B which I have never used before and consequently the usual hearty greeting over the Dr Who intro theme is not there and you only know you are listening to a Radio Show after the 3rd song.  There is also a quick spl...

Episode 17 was recorded at Midnight on 26 April 2019.  Technically it's the best show so far and is pretty much glitch free.  As usual I covered a lot of ground, starting with ACDC and finishing with ZZ Top.  I played a track from Live at Leeds which was released in 1971 and went all the way through to Kreators' 2017 release Gods Of Violence and Tom Petty's 2018 posthumous release c...

Episode 16 aired on Mix 93.8 FM at midnight on 19 April 2019.  As always it's warts and all with TSORR Radio Show, no editing, it goes out as it happens.  Ep 16 featured an eclectic mix of Metal, Rock and some British New Wave.  As usual there are some great South African bands in the mix, we had heavy and light and all shades in between, its a great slice of Rock Music over the last 53 years...

Episode 15 went live at 00h00 on 12 April 2019.  It starts with a unique new intro where the TSORR theme music is too loud and you can't hear the greetings and salutations but hang in there because it comes right very quickly after that.  On TSORR it's all about the music so we don't edit out mistakes or technical glitches, we present the show as it happened.   This week the show fe...

March 29, 2019   James Daubeney This episode took place at 00h00 on 22 March 2019.  It featured among others Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Led Zeppelin, Dio, ZZ Top and Thin Lizzy.  There was a short tribute to ax-man extrordinaire Berne Torme who sadly passed on 17 March 2019, check it out it, sad but magnificent.  The show also features lesser known but no less impressive bands like Icon, Clutch, S...
