After you enjoy The Mosen Explosion, join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
this week, it's all about the weekend, the time between Friday and Monday when everyone hopefully gets to relax. All kinds of weekends will be represented in song, from funky and wild to lonely and happy, as well as places you could go for the weekend.

After last week, I wrote to Mushroom FM management asking if I did well enough to be allowed back on at 2 PM US Eastern time, 7 PM UK on Saturday. That’s bright and early at 6 AM on a Sunday morning in New Zealand.

Mushroom FM management wrote back and said I was marginally, but only marginally, better than dead air and that I may as well have another show. This puts a new take on the old song, “I’m going to sit right down and write myself a letter”.

Today is the Queen's Birthday holiday here, an occasion where outstanding New Zealanders are honored. Jonathan's honor is for services to the blind community.

Sunday, June 2nd, will be the 36th anniversery of the untimely and tragic death of one of Canada's greatest musicians and ambassadors, Stan Rogers. So, to mark this occasion, I will be replaying a show that I produced in 2018. Stan only had about thirteen years on the public stage, and I always wonder what kinds of songs he might have written if he had lived longer, what topics he might have tackled and whose stories he might have sung into life if is own life had not been cut short so suddenly in an airplane accident in 1983.

Join me for The Early Years where you'll enjoy the best variety of music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
It's the first Saturday edition of the sho and to celebrate that, every song has something to do with Saturday. Some you'll know, some perhaps not.
You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.
