Join me this Sunday from 4-6 Eastern for music and memories from the fifties, sixties, and seventies. Hear a couple songs my chorus sang when I was in middle school, a description of an "audio movie" I created as a teenager, news from the Orioles, Brewers, and Rays in the baseball segment, and, of course, some requests and other memories. Next week we will be exploring great, (or maybe, in some cases, not so great) cover songs. Please be in touch with songs I can play for you, and your stories about why these songs have a special place in your heart.

Since The Song Remembers When will air on Easter Sunday from 4-6 pm eastern, I thought an Easter themed show would be appropriate. I hope you'll join me for music that brings back Easter memories, even if most of the songs have nothing to do with Easter whatsoever to most people but me! Also, listen back to a classic Easter Sunday baseball moment from the Milwaukee Brewers in the new baseball segment. Do you have a favorite baseball team? Want to engage in some good natured smack talk? Bring it on!

Thank you to everyone who was able to tune in to The Song Remembers When last Sunday! I appreciate hearing from you; creating this show is super fun for me, but it is truly all about the listeners. I want to help put smiles on faces and bring back memories. I love the interactions I receive. Please keep them coming my way! Incidentally, if you missed the show the first time, it will be replayed this Thursday from 5-7 am Eastern. I believe this is slightly better timing for many of you in other parts of the world! The theme for this week's show is music from movies.

My name is Melissa Riccobono, and I am thrilled to be the newest "fun guy" on Mushroom FM! I will be hosting a show called The Song Remembers When on Sunday's from 4-6 pm eastern. The Song Remembers When will feature a new theme each week. I will, of course, play music which fits into the theme, but I will also share the memories each song elicits for me, and, I hope, the memories the music brings to you, the listener. Music has the power to bring back memories, thoughts of special people, different experiences, etc. in ways nothing else can.
