Remembering Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon this week on The Early Years!
After you've enjoyed The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, Wednesday afternoon from 2 to 4 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 quarter century of Rock with nods to other decades and genres.
Canadiana, the theme I started four weeks ago, is still on hiatus as I remember a pioneer of rock who passed away July 17 at the age of 89, Freddy Cannon, also known as Freddy "Boom Boom" Cannon because of the driving bass drum in all of his songs. He charted 23 songs from 1959 to 1981, not all highly, but I will play them all. I grew up listening to Freddy Cannon's music and I loved it.
After my tribute to Freddy Cannon finishes, I'll play some what I'm calling linked songs. See if you agree.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows, particularly suggestions for Canadian music which theme I expect to return to next week.
So join me, Steve Cutway, as I remember Freddy " Boom Boom" Cannon and play what I'm calling linked songs, Wednesday afternoon at 4 PM, where and when I will make musical and magical memories, after The Variety Vault with Paul Merrell, and before Story Untold with PJ Noce. Then stay tuned for The Mosen explosion. The Early Years will replay Friday morning at 7 AM, after Decades in HD with PJ Noce and before The Mosen explosion with Jonathan Mosen, only on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, making four decades of magic mushroom memories.
