Sunday is a great day for listening to Mushroom FM and I'm proud to be part of the line-up when I bring you The Early Years, following The Mosen Explosion at 6 PM.
You can contact me any time by e-mail at steve@mushroomfm.com with comments about the show and suggestions for future shows.
So join me, Steve Cutway, on The Early Years, for the best music from the 50s and 60s, after The Mosen Explosion, only on Mushroom FM, the home of the fun guys, making four decades of magic mushroom memories!

Hi, I'm Steve Cutway sitting in this week and next for Bruce Toews; but Bruce has had a definite hand in this weeks selection of the best comedy from around the world including an interesting double entendre item and the next installment of Corner Gas, one of the best Canadian comedy TV series ever produced, with audio description, of course!

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

It was with profound shock and sadness that I learned upon waking this morning of the death of Tracey Clasper.

Tracey was a much-loved voice on Mushroom FM for over three and a half years. We first heard her on-air trying to keep her husband Terry under control during 60s 70s Sunday, But Trace grew in confidence as a broadcaster, and soon she was making a significant contribution in her own right with shows of her own.

Sunday is a great day for listening to Mushroom FM and I'm proud to be part of the line-up twice, first at noon following Story Untold on Sunday For Tea when I'll be sitting in for Darren. I get to play songs from the 70s and 80s that I don't normally get to play on my own show, The Early Years, which follows The Mosen Explosion tonight at 6 PM.
So a double dose of "Stevie" before and after The Mosen Explosion. By the time it's over, you'll be glad to hear Sara and Come By The Hills.

On the 21st of August, 19…well it’s more than my life’s worth to get more specific than that, Bonnie Mosen, who wasn’t called that then of course, was born. And thank goodness she was! That’s what I say!

Well the thing is, she was born in the United States, and now she lives here in New Zealand. Although Mushroom FM chooses US Eastern time as its official time zone, meaning that the Mosen Explosion for this week goes to air on the 20th, it’s the 21st here. And that means that, technically speaking, we’ve prematurely aged Bonnie by a day. The very thought of it!

Sam Britton joins me tonight, and their promises to be lots of lively conversation, punctuated by great music. No doubt, we will be discussing Charlottesville, and other recent protests, and you'll hear new, and thought provoking information that you will not hear via the main stream media. As usual, there is more to it than meets the eye. Come and ponder these issues with us, during the first hour of SnowWhiteFM, tonight, Saturday august 19, starting at 8PM Eastern.

The Juke In The Back” focuses on the “soul that came before rock n’ roll,” the records that inspired Elvis, Buddy Holly, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and countless others.

It's hard to believe that it was one year ago this coming Monday, August 21, that Mushroom FM took a chance on me and my passion for Celtic music and let me start producing this weekly dose of fun and frolic that I call Come by the Hills, the Celtic Music Show! I can't thank Jonathan and the other Fun Guys enough for welcoming me and encouraging me along the way. Also, the show wouldn't be the same without you and all the other listeners who tune in every week and give me suggestions for what to play and who keep me honest. Thanks for a great year and here's to many more!

Bonnie is away at a conference this week, so it's Jonathan flying solo on Mushroom FM’s global call-in show, A Cuppa at the Mosens.

The Zoom room and phone lines will be wide open for us to chat about anything, be it a weighty political matter or something lighter.
