A double celebration 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.
Last week, I dedicated the show to my friends, Hank and Marian in Ottawa when they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. This week, it's a double celebration for my friends, John and Laurie who celebrate both her birthday and their anniversary on consecutive days. How cool is that!
It's a privilege and honour for me to do this show. I hope everyone has as long-lasting a friendship with someone like I've had with John and Laurie.
As I have done for other listeners celebrating special occasions, I invited John and Laurie to suggest songs that are special to them, that they like, or both. Laurie sent me a list of superb songs that represent the sound track of our lives growing up in the '50s and '60s and I'm going to play them all. If you were listening to the radio during the early years, I think you'll agree that these are great songs.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show; suggestions for "locus amoenus" songs (which should return in two weeks), and/or suggestions for future shows.
So join me, Steve Cutway, for The Early Years, when I make musical and magical memories playing Laurie's songs, 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!
