Yeah....SO Mother's Day is a terrible holiday for any rock music tribute. The pickings are super slim and too familiar. SO, we are not doing a Mother-focused or themed show. Instead, we have requested listener input and got some great realtime requests!

Music has so many purposes and values in our lives: to entertain, to inspire, to cause reflection or distraction, to create joy, to express love. In addition, it can help us as we deal with loss and grief and accompany us as we journey a tortuous emotional path. This edition of the Coast Highway Shuffle Show is very personal as I continue to experience a wide range of emotions on the 5th anniversa...

Frankly, Easter is a pretty crummy 'holiday' to try to celebrate on rock radio!

With the passing this past week of the great songwriter Burt Bacharach, I'm very proud to share this special edition of the Coast Highway Shuffle Show. This show honors his legacy by playing over 30 of his songs in the sequence of the years that they were originally released.

Alright, so this show IS a bit self serving, as it was broadcast on my marriage anniversary. First time in over 10 years 'on air' where Oct. 9th landed on a Sunday and I was there to broadcast it, real time. So, you can understand that this is a rather personally felt show....even more so than usual! This episode contains great love songs by artists like JD Souther, Otis Redding, Restless Heart, S...
