This song sounded so familiar on an earlier Black Arrow broadcast. I remember the song when I was a young kid, maybe 5 years old or so. It was played on the radio back then and thereafter on the oldies stations. I was mistaken when I thought it might have been Chris Montez, and mistaken again when I said it was Dave "Baby" Cortez. But it was the song I heard when I was a little kid! The song you are playing was released in 1981 in the Netherlands. This is an old folk song that goes back to the late 1800's and has been covered by a great many artists over the years. In 1959, an instrumental group by the name of Johnny and the Hurricanes released a version by the name of "Red River Rock". It was a Top 40 hit and is the song I remember as a kid! I was born in 1955. Amazingly, the original vinyl from 1959 and the Fly Away version look remarkably similar, as is the way the version itself was played! There is a whole Wikipedia article on this song and is interesting reading.

They're back!!! First noticed at 2055 UTC on a casual tune around the bands. Signal is rather weak as it usually is at this time, but it should get better as sunset approaches and absorption declines.

Conspicuous by their absence here also this morning. Yesterday they were on but with a very weak signal amidst an abundance of noise, noted about 2200 UTC. No luck at all finding them in the 90 meter range this morning either. Hmmm...
