SnowWhiteFM July 4th

Well, things have been getting just the tiniest little bit irritating lately, and we are afraid it is starting to come through in our broadcasts. This week, we stretch the envelope just a bit further. And, while we're not rude, or malicious, we're not politically correct either. If you've got a little gravel in your gut, you are really gonna enjoy this one. If you are politically correct, and easily take offense, you probably don't listen anyway. but, just in case, we're giving you this warning, that you might exercise your right to choose.

It's a blast from the past this week on The Early Years!

Affter you've enjoyed Mushroom FM's tech magazine show, Mosen At Large, tomorrow afternoon from 02:00 to 05:00 PM, during which I hope all your tech questions get answered, don't touch that dial and join me in The Early Years where and when you'll enjoy the best music from Rock and Roll's Golden Age (its first quarter century) with an occasional nod to other decades and genres.
It's a blast from the past this week with two hours of all 50s music!

Doo-wop music feelings and harmony

The group harmony of the fifties and early sixties evokes feelings of joy, romance, humor, brings back memories of youth and falling in love. The harmony enhanced by the bass foundation and some improvisation, the falsetto tenor and the chord structure probides the mood and set the scenery. We think of riding in cars, walks in the park, holding hands and falling head over heels with that special someone. Join me on the Doo-wop Corner Sundays from 6: to 8: PM. ET and Saturdays from 4 to 6 AM. ET.
