After you've enjoyed Come By The Hills with Sara Hillis, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 PM to 05:00 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 half of the Rock and Roll era with nods to other decades and genres.
I finish playing the #1 songs in Canada on Canada Day between 1976 and 1989.
The #1 songs in Canada on Canada Day from 1957-63 that began last week's show were #1 on CHUM in toronto, which Library and Archives Canada says was the national "de facto" chart before the RPM national Canadian chart started in 1964. The "CHUM Chart" as it was known, continued until June 14, 1986 and a total of 694 songs reached #1 during the chart's run. What were the first and last #1 songs on CHUM? You'll hear them tomorrow.
Then I'll just scratch the surface of a new theme, the 150 "important" Canadian songs as tabulated by a panel of Canadian newspaper columnists, reporters and editors, for Canada's Sesquicentennial in 2017.
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 still celebrating Canada Day, playing early and late #1 songs and beginning a new theme, 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, only on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, making four decades of magical mushroom memories!
