It's hard to believe, but the Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown is now just days away, and that means that there are even fewer days to get your vote in before the elves go into Countdown preparation mode! Again, we want to take time to say thank you to those who have already voted! Do check your spam for our invitation, but if for some reason you don't have an invitation, don't worry! You'll be able to find your virtual table when we publish our virtual seating plan closer to the date of the Countdown.
This week on Deep Dive we hear, through an encore programme, the talents of singer and american musician Buddy Holly. We learn that it's raining in my heart, hear about all my love and heartbeat.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday which is in the evening in Eastern Australia. Tuning in is easy. Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there faster than Rudolph and his mates can pull Santa's sleigh. Yes, it's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas.
Where I live, in the northern hemisphere, the days are actually getting shorter, but the good news is that voting in our Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown is open 24/7 till 11:59 PM North American Eastern time on Wednesday, December 17th. You could cast your vote while enjoying your morning coffee, make your voice heard with your lunch, or have your say after supper! But do it soon! The days are quickly ticking down!

Tomorrow, December 14, from 4-6 pm Eastern, The Song Remembers When will once again come to you live! My wonderful husband, Mark, ran a cable for me, so I now have a hard wired connection to the internet. I hope this will mean no drops in the music from now on!
I really loved hearing from you during my last live show, so I hope you'll be in touch again. The theme for this episode is novelty Christmas music. I have started a playlist with some of my favorites, but please let me know what you'd like to hear.

The days are flying by more rapid than eagles! We're now officially in the final week of voting for the Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown! Just go to our voting page and pick ten of your top holiday tunes, whether you write them in or choose from our amazing database! When your vote has been officially entered by our elves, you'll get one of our lovely invitations to our big virtual event and you'll get a seat at one of our four virtual tables! We'll let you know closer to the event where you're virtually sitting. So have your say soon!
The "Juke In The Back" focuses on the " soul that came before rock n' roll," the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.
Don Bowman and Dewey Terry never scored a national hit record, but together as the 1950s duo Don & Dewey, they remain one of R&B and early Rock n' Roll's best kept secrets.
After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
There's just over a week left to get your votes in for our Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown this year! You could even do it today, which would be especially appropriate as the not-so-great and not-so-powerful Bing has told me that today is Christmas Card Day! When your vote has been validated by our elves, they send you an exquisitely hand-crafted artisanal invitation to the big event, which I think would make anybody's day, whether it's Christmas Card Day or not.
