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.
The “Juke In The Back” features another highly underrated R&B vocal group from the 1950s: The Checkers.  They never scored a national hit, but they’re one of the finest examples of polished 1950s R&B and their story deserves to be shared.

After you've enjoyed The Mosen Explosion tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00 PM, stay tuned 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.
It's all about tributes, memories and celebrations this week. I'll pay tribute to Little Millie small who died on Tuesday at the age of 72 as the result of a stroke.
A significant musical event took place in North America on May 9, 1970 and I'll tell you all about it.

Another Mosen Explosion is fast approaching on Mushroom FM, and with it, the end of a long-running series. Back in 2013 on the show, we began celebrating the 50th anniversaries of the official Beatles album releases. This weekend, it’s the 50th anniversary of the Let It Be album. Thankfully, the Beatles haven’t remixed this one. It of course received a do-over in 2003 with the Let It Be Naked album, taking out all the horrible Phil Specter over-production.

Hi everyone.

I'd love you to join me once again as we fire up the bacon and eggs for another All Day Breakfast. It's mother's day this weekend in Australia, as I believe it is in other parts of the world, so if there are songs that make you think of your mum, or that perhaps you as a mum would like to hear, there'll certainly be plenty of room for your requests on the show.

As always there'll be plenty of Ausie and Kiwi music, and lots of friendly chat, so I hope you'll join me from 4 PM Eastern on Friday, 8 PM in the UK, or 6 AM Saturday morning in eastern Australia.

From this Saturday at 2am Eastern, that’s 6pm Saturday in NZ, 4pm in Sydney and 7am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movie Father of the Bride from 1991.
Father of the Bride is a 1991 American comedy film starring Steve Martin, Diane Keaton, Kimberly Williams (in her film debut), George Newbern, Martin Short, B. D. Wong, and Kieran Culkin.
It is a remake of the 1950 film of the same name.

Hello. Sara Hillis here again to let you know what's coming up tonight on the fabulously folky feast that is Come by the Hills! Join me live at 8:00 PM Eastern for three hours of songs about May, some Nova Scotia songs we didn't get to last week (including a comparison of three versions of The Ballad of Spring Hill for your perusal and pleasure,) and whatever else I feel like playing. Who knows? We may even throw in some Julie Andrews for the fun of it. It is May after all!

Greetings fellow music travelers.

Saturday night is almost here, so open up your mind and open up your ears for four hours of deep classic rock with lots of tantalizing tasties sprinkled in for good measure.

We'll listen to brand new music from Gordon Lightfoot, David Clayton Thomas and Deep Purple. We'll also hear a new track from Doug Cosmo Clifford of CCR fame, and I will tell you the whole story of his new album that has been 35 years in the making.

I will remember a sad event that happened 50 years ago this weekend, pay tribute to two musicians we've lost recently and finish my listener-suggested "songs about music" theme begun March 28.
