Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the October 10 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
We continued to check out new recordings from the area music scene that have arrived in recent days during this week's program. We debuted new tunes from Randall Pink, Justin Garman, Shawn Diveglia, Alpha Violet, and The Spyders. In addition, we updated "Local Music News," dug into the archive for a 1997 tune by Pittsburgh rockers Isotope, stepped "Across State Lines" to hear from southern Florida steel guitar specialist Roosevelt Collier, and reviewed Endbringer's The Victim Has Been Chosen album in "The Professor's CD Corner!" (For those who missed the program, a four-part podcast of this show is available for listening or download from Q94's website, www.q94classicrock.com. Click on "The Professor's Classroom," and then scroll down to "Homegrown Rocker Podcast" and look for the four show segments marked with the date, 101021.)

And we're sad to report the recent passing of a prominent drummer from the Lancaster area. Oscar “Oz” Christ passed away on September 26. He was 48. Oz played with many bands and projects, and recorded music with many as well. Among the projects Oz was involved with was area musician Michael Hughes' original music endeavor The Worry Knot.
