Interview With Peggy King On WYYR.com


Listen to internet radio with YesterYear Radio on Blog Talk Radio


Two hour interview with call ins and music.  I was the first call, after they played a tune Peggy sang while with the Ralph Flanagan Orchestra.  You can listen to the entire two hours, or just the first five minutes to hear her talk about Sid!

H/T to Herb Stark for alerting me to the show.

Ralph Flanagan Orchestra - Nevertheless (singer, Harry Prime)

Sid played on this track.

From Herb Stark:

Here's an internet radio show where listeners call in.  Harry Prime, Peggy King , George Roumanis (who used to play bass in the Flanagan band) and I were on a few weeks ago.  It was fun!  Put this in your computer:

You will see that Peggy King will be 'starring' on this show Sunday, May 22nd.  If you call, I'm sure she'll be delighted since she remembers singing with the Flanagan band when Sid was playing.  It's a lot of fun and host Chris Valenti (broadcasting from Vero Beach, Florida) does a great job of making call-ins feel at ease.  You can check the Harry Prime show when you bring up this 'Big Band Sunday Night Special' announcement.  I plan to call along with Harry and George and maybe Hannah Flanagan (she's coming up to 92 on May 29) but she's a very private person.  But I'll ask her.    It's a 2 hour show starting at 7 PM eastern time.
