When you hear the dying strains of Van Halen's Happy Trails signalling the end of The Mosen Explosion for another week, don't touch your PC, your mobile device or your internet radio and join me in The Early Years on Mushroom FM.
Hello, I'm Steve Cutway inviting you to enjoy simply the best music from the 50s and 60s.
You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com. Requests from the 50s and 60s are welcome but because I prepare and pre-record the show ahead of time , I'll play your requests on a future show.

Our official time on Mushroom FM is Eastern US time, so we always say that the Mosen Explosion airs at 2 PM Eastern on Sunday, because it does.

But that means that at this time of year, it’s 8 AM on a Monday in New Zealand. And even at other times of the year, it’s still Monday in New Zealand. Incredible!

“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.

It's Friday! and it gets funny at 9 PM Eastern Time on Mushroom FM the home of the fun guys!
I'm hosting Funny Fridays tonight and I'm not Bruce. Who am I? Tune in and find out. (Of course, you could look at the Mushroom FM schedule but that wouldn't be sporting now would it?)

We’re keeping it clean on this week’s “A Cuppa at the Mosens” Thursday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. With the topic of last week’s show being so serious, we’ve decided to keep this week light, airy, and fresh, like sheets drying in the sun or furniture polished to a high lemony gloss.

The year is flying by, and so too is the time.
In about 20 minutes, that’s 11pm Eastern tonight, 4am in the UK and 5PM in New Zealand, I’m back again for another week!
Four fun filled hours of music, me, music, listener interaction, and music.
It will be the usual four hours of craziness, and a triple threat and live and loud segment added in for variety.

Look forward to seeing ya!

The Celtic Music show is back for another week, and as well as playing lots of great Celtic artists and groups from around the world, I'll be paying attention to Loreena McKennitt, who celebrated a birthday on Friday. We've got a "Celtic Cover" involving her as well as a set of her "almost-instrumental" tunes in "Fiddlin' Around," and we'll be sprinkling her music liberally throughout the show.

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. Plus, musicologists Billy Vera and Steve Propes drop by the “Juke In The Back” to make their cases that the first rock n’ roll song might have been about a car.

Some say love is better the second time around, and we’re hopeful of this on this week’s “A Cuppa at the Mosens”, Thursday 9:00 – 11:00 p.m. EST on mushroomfm.com and in all your fav music apps. Due to the cancellation of last week’s show on love and dating as a person with a disability for technical reasons, we will cover this important topic on this week’s show.
