Thank you so much for all your positive comments about recent episodes, particularly the Samsung TU8500 review and our post-WWDC recap. The latter was recorded the moment the keynote concluded and I have unearthed a lot more information since then.

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.
This week, it’s part 4 of a multi-part feature on the great King Record Label, out of Cincinnati. Syd Nathan, who began putting out records under the King logo in 1943, developed King as a hillbilly music label. After a rough start, he relaunched King in 1944 with investment from his various family members.

Hi there. Sara Hillis here to tell you about this week's edition of Come by the Hills, Mushroom FM's premier Folk and Celtic music show. There's lots to celebrate as we go to air, including the fact that Sunday, June 21, is National Indigenous People's Day here in Canada. To mark this, we'll be featuring the life and work of Buffy Sainte-Marie throughout the show. We'll be sure and play a few Quebecois tunes as well in honour of St. Jean-Baptiste Day which is coming up on Tuesday.

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the music, stories and memories of Harry Chapin. We take a taxi, learn a love song, and become the morning DJ.

Dame Vera Lynn has died aged 103. That is certainly a life well lived, and yet like many others her death has deeply saddened me.

Dame Vera was a part of the soundtrack of my childhood. My parents were fans, so I grew up listening to her music. I loved it then, and I love it now. Her pure voice, perfect diction, and plaintive songs of hope still move me. She has been a part of the soundtrack of my adulthood too, in particular, "We'll Meet Again" was played at the end of my dad's funeral service.

This week on the Doo-wop Corner we will play songs from the fifties and sixties featuring some famous and not so famous doo-wop groups and performers. We have some interesting information about the performers and more. Grab some harmony and join me under the street lamp on the Doo-wop Corner. Sundays 6:00-8:00pm est. and repeated on Saturdays 4:00am-6:00am est.
