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.

Join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades including music from before the rock era.
During the run of The Early Years, several listeners have suggested show ideas. For at least the next two shows, I'm featuring one suggested by a friend of more than 50 years and a loyal listener. It's songs recorded by related people together or separately. There are a surprisingly large number of songs and they'll span the decades from the 1940s to the 1980s.

It's an encore edition of The Early Years from a year ago this week because of audio issues with that new, shiny Windows 10 computer I've talked about on the show.
I have a couple of version comparisons that I think you'll find interesting, particularly their chart action (or not) in North America and the UK. You may be surprised.

At 6 PM Eastern Daylight Time, Friday, Oct. 28, 1949, your intrepid DJ came into the world. So tonight, I'm celebrating my 69th birthday with music appropriate to the occasion, including some leftover pot songs from last week. (After all, it's now legal to have pot at my birthday party!)

One should be careful what one wishes for. Our server has been down for the past couple of hours affecting both Mushroom FM and Mushroom Escape. We don't know when it will be back. (It wanted in on Canada's action apparently.)
It's looking like The Early Years won't air as scheduled tonight (Sunday, Oct. 21). Assuming all is well by then, it will air Wednesday morning at 7 AM Eastern and again 11 hours later at 6 PM Eastern. I hope you'll be able to join me at one of those times.
Thanks very much to Jonathan for making this possible.
