This day in History, the national weather,birthdays, That, and more darned, frivalous and frolicky fun than you can possibly shake a white cane at. Saturday Evening, 7pm eastern, on MushroomFM.

Two tributes, one more song about radio and Summer music this week on The Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Decades in HD with PJ Noce tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 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.
The show begins with one of my all-time favourite songs, written and recorded by an artist we lost July 10 at the young age (from where I sit) of 76, Dave Loggins. Sadly, his work is often confused with that of his second cousin, Kenny Loggins.

Coming up on Saturday at the Described Movies: All this, and Heaven too, and A Matter of Life and Death.

The return of Damo's All Day Breakfast this Friday

Hi everyone.

After an unscheduled break of a couple of months, for reasons which I won't bother to trouble you with here, Damo's All Day Breakfast returns this friday from 4 PM Eastern, and this week, I catch up with Graeme, owner and skipper of the Good Ship Notorious, wich is a replica of a 15th century Caravell sailing ship, of the type used by many well known explorers of that period. Graeme not only owns and captains the ship, he built it as well, so it really was interesting to talk to him.
