Welcoming Autumn, celebrating an anniversary, and remembering Ramsey Lewis 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.
This week's show begins with a song from 1949 welcoming Autumn; followed by an erratum from last week's show (you know what an erratum is, right? I'm expanding its definition to include music.) Then I'll celebrate the 25th anniversary of a couple of long-time listeners with songs they've suggested; remember a jazz pioneer whom we lost sept. 12 at the age of 87, Ramsey Lewis; and finally visit one pleasant place, at least for those who were there.
Next week, I'll begin the countdown of the top 100 of 1962.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show, suggestions for "locus amoenus" songs for when the theme eventually returns, and/or suggestions for future shows.
So join me, Steve Cutway, for The Early Years, when I make musical and magical memories welcoming Autumn, playing songs to celebrate an anniversary, remembering Ramsey Lewis and visiting a pleasant place, 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!
