When you hear the dying strains of Van Halen's Happy Trails signalling the end of The Mosen Explosion for another week, don't touch your PC, your mobile device or your internet radio and join me in The Early Years on Mushroom FM.
Hello, I'm Steve Cutway inviting you to enjoy simply the best music from the 50s and 60s.
You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com. Requests from the 50s and 60s are welcome but because I prepare and pre-record the show ahead of time , I'll play your requests on a future show.

“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.

It's Friday! and it gets funny at 9 PM Eastern Time on Mushroom FM the home of the fun guys!
I'm hosting Funny Fridays tonight and I'm not Bruce. Who am I? Tune in and find out. (Of course, you could look at the Mushroom FM schedule but that wouldn't be sporting now would it?)

The juke is jumpin’ with records focusing on classic R&B songs about cars.  The automobile is a “road tested” symbol of the American Dream.  We have all this land and the car gives us the freedom to get from one place to another.  We’ll dig on some tunes about Cadillacs, Buicks, Mercurys and Model Ts. Plus, musicologists Billy Vera and Steve Propes drop by the “Juke In The Back” to make their cases that the first rock n’ roll song might have been about a car.

Hello, I'm Steve Cutway. This week, I have some unfinished business from my "day the music died" tribute last week, some requests and suggestions, and simply the best music from the 50s and 60s.

The Swallows were one of the most underrated R&B vocal groups of the early 1950s. Hailing from Baltimore, they only scored 2 top 10 R&B hits during their 3 year stint with King Records, but collectors and aficionados know their catalog inside and out. The Swallows’ original lead tenor, Eddie Rich, joins Matt The Cat on the “Juke In The Back” with his first-hand account of scoring a hit record, life on the road, segregation and playing with the top artists of the day.

Hello, I'm Steve Cutway and my musical focus is the 50s and 60s and it's more entertaining than the Super Bowl!

This week, we travel back 70 years with our ol’ Rockola Jukebox to spotlight the biggest Rhythm & Blues jukebox hits from 1947. In part two of two, we’ll focus on the biggest jukebox jivers from the second half of 1947, including the only charting singles for Bill Johnson & His Musical Notes and The Floyd Hunt Quartette. Louis Jordan continues to dominate the year with two more #1 platters this week and R&B stalwarts Roy Milton, Johnny Moore’s Three Blazers, Joe Liggins & His Honeydrippers and The Ink Spots continue to score massive jukebox hits.
