The Doo-Wop Corner

The best addition to a warm summer night, a chat by the fire, a walk in the park a ride in a convertable automobile with that special someone is good music. Some of the best music of our time was recorded in the 1950's and 1960's. Some artists re-recorded the same music in later decades. The music I am speaking of is Doo-wop music. It has groove, it has feeling, it is magic. Many tunes bring back memories and help to make new ones.

SnowWhiteFM July 4th

Well, things have been getting just the tiniest little bit irritating lately, and we are afraid it is starting to come through in our broadcasts. This week, we stretch the envelope just a bit further. And, while we're not rude, or malicious, we're not politically correct either. If you've got a little gravel in your gut, you are really gonna enjoy this one. If you are politically correct, and easily take offense, you probably don't listen anyway. but, just in case, we're giving you this warning, that you might exercise your right to choose.

It's a blast from the past this week on The Early Years!

Affter you've enjoyed Mushroom FM's tech magazine show, Mosen At Large, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00 PM, during which I hope all your tech questions get answered, don't touch that dial and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
It's a blast from the past this week with two hours of all 50s music!
