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.

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 including music from before the rock era.
The top 100 countdown of 1958 that I started last week continues this week. I got to #71 last week and will pick it up at #70 and continue to #39.
You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.

Just when you thought 2018 was safely behind you, Mushroom FM's premier Celtic music show is giving you one last kick at the can! This week, we've got an encore presentation from November 25, 2018! have fun!

As always, tune in on Sunday night at 8:00 pM Eastern, or Friday morning at 4:00 AM Eastern, 9:00 AM in the UK and Ireland!

It’s back! Join me starting this Monday as every week day I serve up another year of tasty musical morsels and friendly conversation. If music from the 50s through the 80s is your thing, and you like a bit of banter thrown in for good measure, you’ll be pleased to know that that’s what we’re serving up on the Smorgasbord.

I may not have a brand new pair of roller-skates, or even a brand new key. But this year, the Smorgasbord is on at a brand new time as a brand new show from a brand old friend fills the old Smorgasbord slot.

Tonight at 8:00 PM Eastern, join me for a celebration of everything that makes New Years great! it's a time to reflect, resolve, and of course do a little imbibing as well. The show won't be live tonight unfortunately, but I'll be hanging out on the Twitter and such throughout the duration of the show while I work and plan and scheme to get ready for the annual New Years gathering which my husband and I (hem hem) host for our friends.

We all know why we can’t listen to ELO at Christmas time, right? Because there’s noel at Christmas!

But another Christmas time has come and gone, and the letter L is back again. That’s just as well, because this week, the Mosen Explosion celebrates the birthday of Jeff Lynne. He was born on 30 December 1947, and of course is most famous for his leadership of the Electric Light Orchestra, all us cool kids just call them ELO.

Got any ELO requests? Flick them through via the Twitter, the phone or the email, and we’ll get them on for you.
