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.

Tommy Brown this week on The Juke In the Back!

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.
Tommy Brown is one of the unsung blues shouters of the Rhythm & Blues Era. His only two charting records were done with the Griffin Brothers on Dot Records in 1951. He'll always be remembered for the #1 smash, "Weepin' & Cryin'," but Brown had so many tremendous records under his own name that Matt The Cat just had to feature an entire "Juke In The Back" program on Tommy Brown.
