You may have heard a rumor... I'm very happy to confirm it is true! This Sunday, November 30, from 4-6 pm Eastern, The Song Remembers When will be presented live on Mushroom FM for the first time! Join me for some leftover songs from the "performances" show (isn't this a great time for leftovers?) I will also play a Thanksgiving song or two, and will definitely begin to play holiday music since Thanksgiving has passed.

Hello everyone,

Hello to all.
My motto is, all too often, better late than never! Not a great motto, I know, but sometimes life throws curve balls at you, and the best laid plans have to go by the wayside. And, in these instances, I've learned to give myself some grace.

Hello everyone. Thanks so much to those of you who have made requests for the Internal Organs Song Remembers When episode. Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons, I will not be able to bring this episode to you today. I will, without a doubt, be back and better than ever next week. So please keep your requests coming. Do you have ideas of songs with internal organs in them such as heart, lungs, brain, mind, kidney, etc? I'd love to hear from you.

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, a few things have come up and I will not be able to bring The Song Remembers When to you today. I will very much miss our time together, but look forward to being back next week. Since I will not be doing the show, you will have the chance to make requests using the system at mushroomfm.com. I hope you'll take advantage of this and play songs that make you remember when.

Thanks so much to Caroline for taking over for me last week. It was wonderful to know the show was in good hands while I was in Wisconsin attending the funeral for my father-in-law, and spending time with family. I'm back this week however, and, due to the state of the world internationally and nationally, and the fact that I have two relatives who are critically ill in my own family, I decided it would be nice to play songs that make me smile.

Have you ever wondered who wrote the book of love, where do broken hearts go, if this is love, or just wh? Then you will enjoy hearing all of these questions asked musically on The Song Remembers When. Tune in at 4 pm Eastern this Sunday, March 3, (and, seriously, my question is how on Earth is it March already?) I will bring you songs that ask questions in their titles. I'm sure I will play songs that bring back memories for you, and possibly a few songs you've never heard before. Can't join me on Sunday? No problem!

No, it's not the Taylor Swift album... It's music from the year 1989. Where were you in 1989? I was in fourth and fifth grade, and loving the music I heard on my boombox! Join me on Sunday from 4-6 pm Eastern, or Thursday from 5-7 am Eastern to hear love songs from Bad English, Poison, and The Bangles (among others), the three most poignant songs of 1989 (in my opinion at least) and even two songs from those not-yet-disgraced musicians, Milli Vanilli.

Once again, I recorded The Song Remembers When much later than I wanted to. This worked out fine however, because it gave my husband, Mark, a chance to play with Suno AI and write a theme song for the show! If you tune in, you'll be able to hear this theme for the first time, and provide your comments. What do you think of it? Catchy? Fun? Horrible? An ear worm? You decide! @melissa@social.mushroomfm.com or melissa@mushroomfm.com. I look forward to hearing your reactions.

Yes, it's been WAY too long since I've blogged about The Song Remembers When! So here I am with a reminder about how to participate in an upcoming event, which I'm sure you've been hearing about for the past few weeks, along with information about my next two shows.
