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.

Join me tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern for three hours of great Folk and Celtic music, some with a hint of Autumn and some that's just plain awesome in any season. There's also another personal tribute that I'll be paying to a very dear friend and spiritual role-model who died peacefully on Wednesday after a long and fruitful life.

With so many wonderful vocal groups present during the 1950s, it took a few distinct ones to lead the pack and blaze the trail. The Heartbeats are always right up there with The Clovers, Harptones, Moonglows, Flamingos and the other leaders who carried the torch lit by the Orioles and Ravens during the late ’40s.

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.
