🎙️ Show Topic: Rock Across the Decades – Country, Rockabilly, Sunshine Pop & More

This Thursday, October 16th, 2025, we’re spinning a feel-good sweep of rock from the 50s, 60s, and 70s (with a few 80s sparks):

• country twang
• rockabilly snap
• pop-rock punch
• sunshine-pop glow
• psychedelic swirls
• soft-rock shimmer
• and straight-up classic rock. 🎶

We’ll connect the dots between jukebox sing-alongs and arena anthems, tracing the songs and stories that still light up the dial.

Plus, four special guests bring first-hand history:

Nashville country scholarship, Chicago horn-pop memories, Monkees songwriting lore, and a guitar legend whose tone helped define entire bands.

🕰️ Tune in for harmony, hooks, and road-tested stories from the people who were there.

📅 Mark your calendars: Thursday, October 16th, 2025 — set a reminder and sing along.
