This week, I’m sharing something that’s not obviously LOUIE-related, but ties into the LOUIE Universe via osmosis. Every year, KFJC Radio, the community radio station where the LOUIE documentary project began with a 63 hour Maximum LOUIE LOUIE marathon (over 800 versions!), celebrates a month of MAYHEM. Along with a series of different radio […] Today is a special celebration for two friends that are deeply missed. We lost Richard Berry in 1989, and Mike Slavko, aka “M. Dung” in 2017. Today, Mike Slavko is getting inducted to the Bay Area Radio Hall of Fame, The Class of 2018. As Mike has often said, the experience of singing […] In a few hours, I’ll attending a birthday party for Ms. Gloria Jones and then participating in a very special presentation at Beyond Baroque in Venice, CA. Some of you have asked… “Is there a list of all the 800+ versions that were played at the infamous KFJC MAXIMUM LOUIE LOUIE marathon?” I shared […] Two things i forgot to mention on these pages… 1) KCRW Radio (KCRW.com) launched a new radio series “LOST NOTES,” sharing stories of LOUIE LOUIE for the first episode on April 12, 2018 (one day after International LOUIE LOUIE Day)! The life of one of the world’s most ubiquitous rock n’ roll anthems – […] Today, in celebration of International LOUIE LOUIE Day, we’re sharing a very special recording of LOUIE LOUIE by Jim Phelps & the Clandestones that had a special world premiere at the 1984 LOUIE marathon that took place at KALX Radio in Berkeley, California.

Luckily, his death was not meant to happen. With the heroic efforts of a dear friend Wendy Lang, […] UPDATED RE-POST of an article originally shared on Friday, August 4th: Here’s a little blast from the past…. Many years ago, back during the early stages of the LOUIE documentary project, myself and my LOUIE co-producer pal Jesse Block captured some video footage of the 1989 LOUIE LOUIE Parade produced and promoted by the […] Today I was deeply saddened by the news of the passing of our friend Michael Slavko, aka M. Dung, as shared on Facebook by his fiancee Judy Crum. Dung was a big advocate of LOUIE LOUIE, and hosted two LOUIE LOUIE Parades in conjunction with KFOG Radio and the Leukemia Society in San Francisco. […] Last week, Orme Radio of Italy celebrated International LOUIE LOUIE Day with a lively 90 minute special! They closed the show with a wonderful LOUIE I’d never heard before – a French band known as Calamity Jeanne, the Pocket Orchestra. Here’s a little description they provided of themselves, translated by the Google Language Tools […] My old friend David Peel died a few days ago. Believe it or not, he actually had a connection to this LOUIE project. Years ago, before I ever even thought about LOUIE LOUIE and this documentary project, I wound up working with David Peel. In 1982, I lived briefly in New York City. […] |
