Norm, you sound as good as I remember from 1965 and 1966 on KRUX! I’m looking forward to your 1966 show this week!

I’ll go for that…”Norm and Narniaman Show, hosted by Norm Seeley from Scottsdale Arizona.”

How about Friday, April 2nd?

Sounds good — how about the “Norm and Narniaman show”?

1st script — pop artists from way back who wound up being preachers!!

Here’s an idea….once a month you can write a script with great facts like you listed above and I will voice them and add the music.
“The Narniaman and Norm Show” Let’s try that again:
“The Norm Seeley Show with Narniaman.” ” Hosted by Norm Seeley.”
What a winning combination.

Okay, here’s the answers;

1. Yes, I do remember Java by Al Hirt, the New Orleans trumpeteer. . . .and I remember his followup song “Cotton Candy”. Al would have been quite happy with the recent superbowl results, since he was a part owner of the New Orleans Saints.

2. “You don’t own me” was one of Lesley Gore’s five hits in the space of a year, starting with “Judy’s Turn to Cry”. Not bad for a 17 year old girl. . . .

3. In 1964 the Four Seasons were well into their second year of success, starting with the two #1 hits in the later half of 1962, “Sherry” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry”. They also scored with “Walk Like a Man”, “Candy Girl”, and “Ragdoll”. I saw Frankie Valli in concert about 10 years ago — and at that time he still had it — a great entertainer. For what it’s worth, he also appeared as a gangster in “The Sopranos”.

4. She Loves You — IIRC, this was one of not two — but five Beatles songs that held the top 5 spots probably in March of 1964 — “I Want to Hold Your Hand”, “I Saw Her Standing There”, “Please Please Me”, and “Twist and Shout”. This was also the song that got them the nickname of the “Yeah, Yeah, Yeah” boys. To say the Beatles took the US by storm is somewhat of an understatement.

Good job, Norm!! Maybe I should have been a disc jockey too . . . .but I just don’t have the “pipes” that you have!!
