This is a music and talk show from two old friends who love to discover, listen, and talk about music.  Each show will have a unique theme by which the guys will bring you great songs recorded from as early as 1960 up to the present day, as well background discussion about the artists, songs, music labels, and more.  Sometimes the artists and songs will be well known, but the show will strive to present artists and songs that are not so well known and in many different genre’s.  We seek to always entertain you and hopefully inform you of facts behind the music that are new to you.
