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.
"The killer, the last man standing", Jerry Lee Lewis, passed away on my birthday at the age of 87. Last week in hour 2, I' began a tribute to him by playing his Billboard Hot 100 charting hits from 1957-62. Most from mid-1958 on didn't chart highly for the reason I explained but I thought they were worth hearing. Although he would enjoy a much more successful career in country music in the 1970s and 1980s, he continued to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 until May 1973 so I'll play the rest of the songs that charted in hour 1 this week. I am a fan!
In hour 2, I'll return to a listener-suggested theme that I haven't visited for seven weeks, songs about pleasant places. They'll cover 15 years from 1959-74.
You can contact me any time by email at steve at mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.
So join me, Steve Cutway, for The Early Years, when I make musical and magical memories remembering "the last man standing", and visiting some pleasant places, 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!
