Mon. Oct 21st, 9am - Noon: Even More People You May Know (More info...)

Last year around this time, Joe did a show he really enjoyed. It was the second time he did it. He played songs with titles that named people: First name, last name. An example of this type of song would be David Bowie's "Andy Warhol" (although he hasn't played that one yet). This year, Joe will be playing more songs like this. It will be fun and informative. He hopes you will also enjoy it.

Mon. Oct 28th, 9am - Noon: Play It Again, Band (More info...)

If you have a hit in pop music, it's never a bad idea to see if it could be a hit again. That's why the Ventures did "Walk Don't Run" and then "Walk Don't Run '64." That's why David Bowie did "Fame" and then "Fame '90." Tune in for an entire show made up of performers reviving their hits for new pop eras with varying degrees of success.
