I love words. I love reading, and I love word games. And some would even say I love to talk. So, my question is, what do construction, mining, farming, money, time, and numbers all have in common? You probably wouldn't think much, but country music is full of these themes, and somehow I've managed to link them all together for tomorrow's 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.
With so many wonderful vocal groups present during the 1950s, it took a few distinct ones to lead the pack and blaze the trail.

So Who is Greg, and what’s so special about his roast beef? You’re probably asking?

Well Greg is my Brother-in-Law from Rockhampton, and while I was up there at a wedding a couple of weeks ago, Greg and I were having a chat about camp oven cooking. We swapped a few recipes, and Greg gave me this one, which was his method of cooking roast beef.
