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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

20 years is a very long time in technological terms. Mobile phones were neither smart nor accessible. Those of us who were online back then were mostly accessing the Internet via dial-up. If you had 20GB of hard drive space on your Pentium PC, that was truly massive and exceptional. Now, we have far more storage than that on the device we carry in our pocket.

Thanks to the wonders of wonderous time zones, Christmas is over for another year in New Zealand, but it has finally turned up in the northern hemisphere.

We’ve had a special, memorable day with the family. After we sleep off all the food, we’re taking to Mushroom FM for a Mosen Family Christmas at 2 Pm Eastern, 7 PM UK.
