Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

wildfire | here comes summer | 7" | casablanca | 1977 | cover of the song by Jerry Keller, also recorded by the Dave Clark 5. After my show I discovered that this band is actually producer Jack "Stack-a-Track" Grochmal and longtime Top 40 DJ and radio bigwig Scott Shannon, who was a promotion guy for Casablanca at the time! It's so obscure that I couldn't find a photo of the band... | 0:00:00 (Pop-up) | ||||

Listener comments!
john:
OK, so players pick their own songs to blast over the PA when they come to bat. But what SHOULD those songs be? Once again, I'm nominating Angel Pagan's as "Been Caught Stealing."

Hi Steve, at least this is a healthy addiction (I think!)
Cheri, I have no idea if I'll be on the new schedule. We're all waiting anxiously.
reality check:
cheri, less than three hours ago julie told you the schedule hasn't been decided yet. and you've been asking every DJ on every show you comment on for weeks that same exact question, every single show, and always getting that same truthful answer. I'M BEGGING YOU, come up with new material.
