A tribute, a request, more favourite songs and songs inspired by them this week on The Early Years!
After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00, don't touch that dial, device, PC, Mac or smart speaker and join me for The Early Years, where and when you'll hear the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
A true Rock and Roll pioneer, Ronnie Hawkins, AKA 'Rompin' Ronnie' and 'Mr. Dynamo', passed away last Sunday in Peterborough, Ontario, at the age of 87. Although he was born in the southern US, he lived most of his adult life in Canada. I will pay tribute to him in hour 1 playing 12 songs, some of which you'll know and some you may not. Then in hour 2, I'll return to the theme that has occupied all of the shows since my return, favourite songs, songs inspired by them and a request. The music this week will span a 24-year period from 1949-73.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.
So join me, Steve Cutway, for The Early Years, when I say goodbye to Ronnie Hawkins and I make musical and magical memories playing music from 1949-73, tomorrow afternoon at 05:00, after Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis and before Dan Sweeney's One Hit Wonders. The show replays Wednesday morning at 07:00 AM, after Deep Dive with Graeme Innes and before Anthony Unleashed with Anthony Horvath, only on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, making four decades of magic mushroom memories!
