Tonight on A Mixed Bag with Chris B, our theme was Johnny O'Keefe (Part 2), which included an interview with his daughter Vicky O'Keefe. Vicky spoke with us about her famous dad, what it was like growing up with Johnny O'Keefe as her dad, and how important it is to look after yourself and your health. I thank Vicky for taking time out of her busy schedule to spare some time for our show.

Johnny O'Keefe theme
Last night on "A Mixed Bag with Chris B" on 93.7 Edge FM, our theme was the life and music of Johnny O'Keefe.
In 2013 I spoke with the late John "Catfish" Purser, who was JOK's original drummer in Johnny O'Keefe and the Dee Jays. I was saddened to learn of the recent passing of "Catfish" and thought it would be nice to play some of the interview in memory of the man.
Our playlist for the evening included many songs from Johnny O'Keefe's repertoire - The Wild One, Real Wild Child, I'm Counting on You, She's so Tough, She's my Baby, Move Baby Move, SHOUT (of course!!) and many more. We heard a couple of tracks from the late Billy Thorpe (Most People I know think that I'm Crazy and Over the Rainbow) because JOK was a mentor for Billy Thorpe.
"Catfish" spoke fondly of JOK, and shared his memories of those times spent with the King of Rock and Roll. To hear snippets of that interview please click on the link below. There are seven separate interview snippets.
