Breaking News! No live Bonair this week! Due to an emergency of the Samsonite variety, Bonair—6:00 – 8:00 p.m. EST on Mushroomfm.com and in all your fav apps is pre-recorded. The faithful traveling companion of the Mosen family has a structural flaw making it unwise to travel long distances, so the entire Mosen clan has gathered at a nearby mall to seek out a worthy replacement. Bonnie has stayed up late to insure you have two hours of great music and some usual Bonnie banter, so sit back and enjoy the tunes.

This week, the “Juke In The Back” explores the rhythm and blues phenomenon of the “Annie” song. This is the giant wave of sequel songs and answer records that emerged after the enormous success of The Midnighters’ “Work With Me Annie.” Most of the hit “Annie” follow-ups were done by The Midnighters themselves, like “Annie Had A Baby” and “Annie’s Aunt Fannie,” but there were some notable “Annie” songs by The El Dorados, Linda Hayes, Danny Taylor and of course the “Henry” songs by a very young Etta James. It may sound odd now, but from 1954-56, the R&B juke boxes were jumpin’ to songs

That’s right, less than 30 minutes from now, at 11PM Eastern, 4am Sunday in the UK and 4pm Sunday in New Zealand, I finally open the doors again.
It’s been a while I thought, and then I realised it was last month!
I have a lot of time to make up, and more madness and mayhem to inflict on you.
There will also be a triple threat, and a live and loud segment.
As usual, as I play whatever comes into my head, if you wish to stop this, simply send in requests:

Well, Thanksgiving is all over and life continues on here in Canada as normal, and also as normal, I'm in the Funguy DJ chair at 8:00 PM Eastern on Sunday evening with three hours of the best in Celtic music from around the world. We'll have all our usual features, some new (to me at least) artists to experience, an English song which sounds suspiciously like an Italian song that Tom Dekker played on Woofman's World Music this past Monday, and even a bit of Celtic commedy from the one and only Tom Lehrer.

This week, The “Juke In The Back” features the songs of one of R&B’s greatest songwriters: Rudy Toombs. This underrated cat wrote some of the most fabulous drinking songs of all-time for Amos Milburn, The Clovers, The Five Keys and a young Johnny “Guitar” Watson. Beyond drinking songs, Toombs wrote some mega-hits for Ruth Brown, Varetta Dillard and Little Willie John, just to name a few. Matt The Cat gives you the story behind the story of one of early rock n’ roll’s greatest cleffers. It’s Rudy Toombs’ best songs, this week on the “Juke In The Back”, Saturday afternoon at 03:00 PM

Sadly, cute Caroline can't be with us this week for the Country Oasis. But I really enjoy my two-hour fix of country, so I decided if the expert couldn't do it, then I'd have to fix me my country fix myself. So I'm fixin' to bring you two hours of the best of country old and new, Friday Eastern time at 2.
I've got a few great story songs, some songs that remind me of my childhood, a few New Zealand country tunes, and of course some country with a Beatles connection.
That's right, this weekend marks the Canadian holiday of Thanksgiving. It looks a lot like the American celebration, except that there's not so much football and there are no Christmas parades. Instead, we have decorative gourds, turkies, pies, pies, and yes, more pies! (Did I mention the pies?) So, whether you are full of Fall feasting or whether you simply want something fun to do on a Sunday night as usual, join me for a veritable cornucopia of Celtic creations both traditional and modern.

This week’s “Juke In The Back” digs deep into a group that is usually only remembered for one, incredibly influential tune, “Sh-Boom.” The Chords cut that tune in 1954, right at the height of America’s fear of the Atomic Bomb and this song did more for helping to launch rock n’ roll than almost any other.
