* For those interested in what might be played on the various "specials" done on Rockin' John's show "I Like It Like That," here is an example using the recent Crickets special of July 1, 2000 with John L. As with the regular shows, note that the hits do not dominate the program over what else might be interesting from a singer's or group's career. (Those interested only in "all hits, all of the time" can go to almost any commercial oldies radio station.) The bulk of this show dealt with post-Holly Crickets recordings.
