14:09:13 ::: radioShirley presents Rosscoe & Shirl’s GLITTER ROLLER DISCO!
Greetings Shirleyphiles! Welcome to another 45 minutes of lo-fi loveliness!
A few weeks ago on a particularly sunny Saturday afternoon, the manservant was chatting on Facebook with long time radioShirleyphile and production designer extraordinaire, the fabulous Ross Wallace. In response to a video Ross posted, they started rapping about those teenage salad days in the 70’s at the roller skating rink … or at the ice rink in the manservant’s case. Unlike Rosscoe who apparently could, “Go backwards and everything!” in high heels even at that tender age, mr.K spent most of the time flat on his backside on the ice, squealing in horror with his hands clasped to his chest as everyone else sped on round and around him like a teenage rampage on blades!
Naturally, both boys being big music fans and both a little bit disco and a little bit rock’n’roll, the chat turned to the music that used to accompany them while they channeled their inner Torville and Deans at said circular pleasure domes! And then, in the spirit of Mickey & Judy’s “Let’s put on a show?!”, crowdsourcing and co-curation, mr.K & Rosscoe put down a wishlist on that Facebook thread of roller disco faves and … wham bam thank you ma’am!, Rosscoe & Shirl’s Glitter Roller Disco was hatched!
Its a veritable cavalcade of 70’s disco and glam fabulousness mr.K and myself with our very special guest presenter, Rosscoe have put together for you this time around! For goodness sakes, this show even features Linda Blair in a classic of the roller skating film genre, ‘Roller Boogie’. If its not a genre, it certainly will be considered as such by the end of this show.
So Shirleyphiles, as Sir Monti Rock III proclaims in the Disco Tex & The Sex-o-Lettes hit, ‘Get Dancin’, “Nobody cares how you wear your hair, darling!” when you hit the play button below and tippy toe tappy your toe stops at Rosscoe & Shirl’s Glitter Roller Disco!
Until next time, take care and remember, play fair!
