8/11/06 Show - The Midwest

Rock 'N Roll began in the Midwest. Well, not really but it was a Midwesterner that first coined the term "Rock 'N Roll". By the way, before I write "Rock 'N Roll" one more time, can you tell if I'm writing it correctly? Should the apostrophe be after the "N" or before? Or both? I've never quite figured that whole 'N (or N' or 'N') business out. Anyway, it was a DJ from Cleveland that first said it and the world has been confused ever since.

And in these times of confusion, I have found that downloading MP3s can be a soothing escape from the swirling madness of the streets. By the way, is it "MP3's" or "MP3s"? Never mind, I won't get into that again. Just follow this link to hear the show, as the Iriquois Indians did when they sailed across Lake Michigan all those years ago:
