This week we enjoy Buddy Holly, and hear about the day the music died, when he and others were killed in a tragic plane crash.

We'll share music and memories on Deep Dive.

Tune in on Monday at 4 PM Eastern, 6 AM Tuesday in eastern Australia. Or on Wednesday at 6 AM Eastern, 8 PM in eastern Australia.
Email me Graeme@MushroomFM.com with your favourite artist, songs and memories. Or make a sound recording and join me in the Backpack Studio and on the 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.

And affter you've enjoyed The Mosen Explosion tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial and join me in The Early Years where 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.
Five decades are represented musically this week as I continue the theme that I called "Nancy's Theme" last week because my wife of 49 years, Nancy, suggested it and did a good deal of the research. If you were with me last week, you know what it is, songs about days of the week.

Another week has rapidly rolled around and it’s nearly time for another Mosen Explosion on Mushroom FM.

This week, I’ll be making an announcement about my future on Mushroom FM. No, I’m not going anywhere, but things are going to be a bit different shortly. I’ll explain what and why.

Hi,

Well after last week's interview with Ranger Nick the camp oven cooking guru, I promised I'd make his chocolate pudding recipe during the week, and make it I did. It turned out so well, that I'd like to share the recipe with you on this week's show.

As always there's a great mix of music and chat, and I always look forward to hearing from you. If you'd like to get in touch during the show, email damo@mushroomfm.com or tweet @damoonair using the #mushroomfm hashtag.

Wednesday, May 27, sees the debut of a new show on Mushroom FM, hosted by Bruce Toews. Come join us at 8:00 PM Eastern time for the Hour of Smiles, a family-friendly hour of fun and laughs featuring the best in classic recorded comedy. Bruce loves his comedy, and he loves sharing it with you, the listener. Weird Al Yankovic, Flanders and Swan, Tom Lehrer, Victor Borge, Stan Freberg, Peter Sellers, and the Royal Canadian Air Farce - these are just some of the people you'll hear from every week on the Hour of Smiles. If you can't catch the show the first time around, we have you covered.

This week we enjoy the up-beat folk sound of Ausie band The Seekers. We even hear one song which was in the running to become Australia's national anthem.

I hope Fun Guy Sara Hillis can tune in, because there's a little celtic-Australian coming out of the Backpack Studio this week.

I'm Graeme Innes, and we'll share music and memories on Deep Dive.
