This part’s the same: two hours of Rockabilly, Hillbilly, R&B, and Rock ‘n’ Roll. (Commercial free.)
This part’s new: We’re back to our old time slot, 6:00 to 8:00 PM. So the old part’s the new part, and I’ll have plenty of new-old and old-sounding new music (for my own part). But send your requests and I’ll do my best.
When: May 21 at 6:00 PM Eastern
Where: 91.5 FM (WMFO), or www.wmfo.org, or iTunes (Radio/College/WMFO)
Archived shows are available at www.easy-ed.net and also through iTunes (as a podcast):
