Gary Brewer and the Kentucky Ramblers with the Mountain Matinee host, CanJoe*John, after a LIVE broadcast on FM 96.3 "The Possum"...

06/05/2025

An old saying is that "lightnin' never strikes the same place twice", however the next upcoming episode of the Mountain Matinee broadcast from the studio of 96.3 The Possum, Saturday, May 10, 2025, will feature Lightnin' Charlie and Beth as they return for a special one-hour LIVE appearance from 2pm until 3pm EDST.

This upcoming weekend is Mother's Day on Sunday the 11th, and on past Mother's Day weekend episodes, CanJoe*John, host of the program, has often themed several of those episodes using the theme words "mother", "mom", "momma", etc. in the titles and/or lyrics of the tunes found in the studio music catalogs. It seems most of the "timeless" country music with reference to mothers tend to be mostly sad songs. Well, this weekend's episode ought, instead, to be more of what Lightnin' Charlie often refers to their music as "a cheerful ear full" for all who have an ear to hear.

Tune in your radios to FM 96.3, or listen online at 963thepossum.com from noon until 3 pm EDST as CanJoe*John will host this special episode as "CJ*J the DJ" for the first two hours, spinning "Timeless Country" tunes while throwing in a few of his uncanny stories, and then the final hour will close out the episode with Lightnin' Charlie and Beth to fill the airwaves with their own grand style of music and stories for a great way to celebrate this Mother's Day weekend kickoff. Don't miss an episode! ~ CJ*J the DJ
