It&#8217;s a program called \u201cWailers Houseparty\u201d show on KLAY-AM (1180) from 11 a.m. to noon Saturday.  Their first show in April  featured an interview with Sonics singer Jerry Rosalie, and there&#8217;s already been about 6 shows since then.<\/p>\n<p>The Wailers also put out a new CD single from their last LOUIE LOUIE fest up in Tacoma.

Apparently, it&#8217;s not that easy to get listed with Guiness, which I can personally attest to.  Back in 1983, KFJC Radio set a world&#8217;s record for playing over 800 versions of LOUIE LOUIE in 63 hours.  Despite all efforts to petition Guinness, the requests were completely ignored.   Guinness is also still claiming that &#8220;Yesterday&#8221; is the world&#8217;s most recorded song of all, which had 1,600 versions.  The last time I checked, there were certainly more versions of LOUIE LOUIE, but I&#8217;ll wait until I&#8217;ve got all my documentation in order before I pester those folks to change their listings.<\/p>\n<p>Anyways, the article about the Tacoma&#8217;s world record problems can be found at:<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thenewstribune.com\/news\/columnists\/nose\/story\/4839745p-4445069c.html\">http:\/\/www.thenewstribune.com\/news\/columnists\/nose\/story\/4839745p-4445069c.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kent Morrill and Buck Ormsby of the original Wailers are now doing a radio show up in their hometown of Tacoma, Washington.
