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 and genres.
This week, I'm giving more than a nod to other decades and genres. It's all about celebrations. Tomorrow is Father's Day in North America so in hour 1, I will celebrate fathers, dads and papas with at least one mama thrown in as well.
It’s amazing but it’s true. Due to a shortage of qualified personnel, once again I’m back with you at our shiny new time of Saturdays at 2 PM Eastern, 7 PM in the UK, for The Mosen Explosion.

From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day , it’s
the described movie Rebel Without a Cause from 1955.
Rebel Without a Cause is a 1955 American drama film about emotionally confused suburban, middle-class teenagers.
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.
I can't believe I did this, but in looking up Sandy Denny's dates recently, I reversed the numbers in the day/month/year format for her date of birth. She was not born on June 1, but rather on January 6. Even so, we are of course still doing the episode, as this year does mark the fiftieth anniversary of Liege and Leaf and it's still a good excuse to salute Sandy's amazing music. I do apologize for printing misinformation! I promise I'll get it right tonight on the show.

2019 marks the fiftieth anniversary of Liege and Leaf, the highly influencial Folk-rock album by British band Fairport Convention. Also, June 1 would have been the birthday of their lead vocalist on that album, Sandy Denny! She was only 31 when she died in 1978, and she led a somewhat complicated life, but her talent for song-writing and vocal interpretation is second to none! So, to mark these two occasions, this week, I'll be playing the entire album of Liege and leaf, some songs written and/or sung by Sandy Denny, and some other great Folk-rock tunes.
After you enjoy The Mosen Explosion, 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 and genres.
this week, it's all about the weekend, the time between Friday and Monday when everyone hopefully gets to relax. All kinds of weekends will be represented in song, from funky and wild to lonely and happy, as well as places you could go for the weekend.
After last week, I wrote to Mushroom FM management asking if I did well enough to be allowed back on at 2 PM US Eastern time, 7 PM UK on Saturday. That’s bright and early at 6 AM on a Sunday morning in New Zealand.
Mushroom FM management wrote back and said I was marginally, but only marginally, better than dead air and that I may as well have another show. This puts a new take on the old song, “I’m going to sit right down and write myself a letter”.
