Subject: RE: Obit: Lonnie Donegan
When Rock Island Line became a hit in the U.S. in the 50s, a radio station in Tulsa, Oklahoma, played it at 9:18 each night. Whatever else was going on, my mother made sure we got home, or to the home of a friend by that time so I could listen to it. Money was very dear, so we couldn't afford the record, but I got my daily fix each evening from KRMG.
