After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from the first quarter century of Rock with occasional nods to other decades and genres.
There's just over a week left to get your votes in for our Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown this year! You could even do it today, which would be especially appropriate as the not-so-great and not-so-powerful Bing has told me that today is Christmas Card Day! When your vote has been validated by our elves, they send you an exquisitely hand-crafted artisanal invitation to the big event, which I think would make anybody's day, whether it's Christmas Card Day or not.

45 years ago today, December 8, 1980, John Lennon died, the victim of an appalling assassination that shocked and stopped the world.
On the Mosen Explosion today at 9 AM and 9 PM US Eastern time, we remember John by taking a stroll through the Beatles' catalog, largely in chronological order. We'll hear John evolution as a songwriter and musician, and we choose to remember him by celebrating the incredible legacy he left behind.
I look forward to sharing this show of remembrance with you.
This week we enjoy the musical talent of US singer and song writer Carole King. We feel the earth move, say where you lead I will follow, and meet the jazz man.
Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is Tuesday morning in Eastn Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is Wednesday night in Eastern Australia. It's easy. Just tell that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM, and you will be there faster than the jingle of reindeer bells.
Deep Dive is where we focus on one artist for one hour. And it is heard exclusively on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys.

Wow! The first actual weekend of actual December is actually almost upon us! Can you believe it? Black Friday's over and the real run-up to the holidays has begun! Why not take some time this actual weekend to actually vote in the Mushroom FM Holiday Countdown? You now have less than two weeks to vote for your top ten holiday tunes. If you have already voted, thank you so much for helping to make the season bright for all our Mushroom friends, and if you haven't voted, there is still time and we'd love to hear your Countdown picks!
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 is jumpin' with records focusing on classic R&B songs about cars. The automobile is a "road tested" symbol of the American Dream. We have all this land and the car gives us the freedom to get from one place to another. We'll dig on some tunes about Cadillacs, Buicks, Mercurys and Model Ts.
