Where The Action Is! Show tracks for Sat. May 25/19

It's with a sad heart that we say goodbye to our good friend Roger Brennan. I've known Roger for over 30 years and we met in, of all places, a record store. He was a huge music lover and in fact I sold him many a record, both at Sound Affects and Dr Disc. We loved many of the same bands and saw some of them live together. He was the biggest supporter of our radio show and was boundless in his enthusiasm for it for nearly 30 years. His support and friendship has meant the world to me. So tonight, I picked 5 bands/songs that I know he loved, to pay tribute to our friend. Rest in peace Roger. To paraphrase The Smiths, you are a light that will never go out.
