Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

August 1, 2006: fill-in for Tom Scharpling: a peek behind the scenes, or why we really need listener support

Listen to this show:  Pop-up player!

I do fill-ins, not a regularly scheduled show. If you'd like to find out when I'll be on the air next, just email me and i'll add you to my mailing list.
