Let’s Twist Again

Jim Dawson with Hank Ballard

Jim Dawson occasionally moonlights from his Wednesday night “Not Fade Away” gig on Luxuria Music, to guest host KPFK’s “Rhapsody in Black” show. The November 18 episode is Jim’s tribute to his late friend, the legendary R&B talent Hank Ballard. If you do some twisting of the scroll wheel, it should be available in the station’s archive for a couple of weeks.

… but of course Chubby Checker’s record was the big hit.
