Deep Dive meets a rag doll

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the talents of American singer Del Shannon. We meet a runaway, take our hats off to Larry, and send my love from me to you.

Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Wednesday Eastern, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Simply walk up to that SmartSpeaker of yours and croon into its virtual ear play Mushroom FM, and it will whisk you there in a trice on its magic carpet.

Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, on Mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.

The Song Remembers When Goes All Over

What can I say? The show today is full of all sorts of songs with memories. Songs that tell stories, songs about food, and, I think, a song that our own Sarah Hillis may have been involved with if I remember right. Melissa will be back next week, but I hope you all enjoy what I've come up with. I think there's some great stuff here, and a lot that should have been there that just wouldn't fit. Enjoy the show!

"The Great Canadian Setlist" continues this week on The Early Years!

After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 PM, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac, smart speaker or tablet and join me for The Early Years where and when you'll hear the best music from the first half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.

Coming up on Saturday at the Described Movies: Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and The Jewel of the Nile.

Big Joe Turner, Part 1 - 1938-50 this week on The Juke In The Back!

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.
This week, the "Juke In The Back" is loaded with nothing but the great recordings of Big Joe Turner, the "Boss Of The Blues."

Deep Dive has a total eclipse of the heart

Tune in at 4 PM Monday Eastern, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Wednesday Eastern, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just firmly instruct that SmartSpeaker of yours to play Mushroom FM and you will be there in the wink of an eye.

Canada Day Celebrations finish, and a new theme begins this week on The Early Years!

I finish playing the #1 songs in Canada on Canada Day between 1976 and 1989.

From this Saturday at 12am Eastern, that’s 4pm Saturday in NZ, 2pm in Sydney and 5am in the UK, and repeated every four hours throughout the day, it’s the described movies Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade from 1989 and Romancing the Stone from 1984.
Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade is a 1989 American action-adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg from a screenplay by Jeffrey Boam, based on a story by George Lucas and Menno Meyjes.

Frankie Lymon and The Teenagers this week on The Juke In The Back!

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.
We throw the word "influential" around a lot on the Juke In The Back, but very few groups can actually claim to have started a sub-genre based on their lead singer. The Teenagers Featuring Frankie Lymon were the first of the "kiddie" lead groups to sing for a teenaged audience. Their tunes had teen themes and when mixed with Lymon's vocals, a brand-new Rock n' Roll vocal group sound was created.

Deep Dive gets the look

This week on Deep Dive we enjoy the talents of Swedish band Roxette. We go for a joyride, are sleeping in my car, and spending my time.

Tune in at 4 PM Eastern Monday, which is 6 AM Tuesday in Eastern Australia. Or at 6 AM Eastern Wednesday, which is 8 PM in Eastern Australia. Just demand that your SmartSpeaker of choice play Mushroom FM and you will be there in a trice. Deep Dive, where we focus on one artist for one hour, heard exclusively on mushroom FM, home of the fun guys.
