We will listen to a wide array of rock, classic, progressive, indie, several shades of rock. From vintage to modern. We will also have conversations with community members about the music that inspires them to create. From time to time there might even be a pearl of wisdom or funny story that you pick up. Maybe you'll even learn something. It's just a simple little radio show for my analog friends living in a digital world.
