Mulligan Stew With Terry David Mulligan

Red Robinson was the first announcer to play rock music on the radio in Canada. He was 16 years old. Imagine the lives he influenced. Loved by teens. Hated and hounded by parents and adults. Red made no distinction between black and white artists:  he just played the hits.  That drive and determination took him all the way to induction in the Rock Hall of Fame. I'm told I did the last interviews with Red Robinson.  He was in a retirement home in Vancouver and living with his memories. Red was directly responsible for the turning point in my career. He phoned me at CKCK in  Regina and asked "Would you like to come home.? Back to the West Coast? One of the happiest moments in my life.  We became friends and co-workers.  His timing was impeccable.  He was the right guy. In the right place. At the right time He got to play and then meet and interview Elvis Presley The Everly Brothers Jerry Lee Lewis Roy Orbison James Brown Bill Haley Carl Perkins Johnny Cash Little Richard Jackie Wilson
