Hello Everyone,
Here is the recap of the November 27 edition of "The Homegrown Rocker," which airs every Sunday night from 8 to 10 PM on Q94 Classic Rock!
For Thanksgiving weekend, we delved into the local music archive for this week's program and presented the "Local Music Memory Lane Special!" We presented two hours of music from past area bands and artists, with all the musical selections from before the year 2000! We dug out past favorites from notable area music scene names like XL, Cut The Mustard, Badwrench, Sidewalk Romeo, Fantasy Airlift, Hybrid Ice, Bashful, Nitro, Tommi-Gunn (with a cameo lead-in by the group's original singer, Richie Knott), The Front, Free Form and more! We also dug out a couple of chestnuts that hadn't aired on local radio for several decades - including a 1986 original song from Altoona's Guardian, and a 1986 Loverboy cover from area dance rockers Paragon! Needless to say, we featured multiple "Local Music Flashback" features throughout the program, and we also updated "Local Music News." (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, 112722.)
