Autumn is a season that gives magical feelings. Some consider it the most beautiful, yet most underrated season of all. It brings a sense of nostalgia and sentiment as the sky gradually lowers and the leaves turn into fiery colors, leaving a scent of mustiness to the surroundings. That sentiment goes perfectly with the right autumn playlist, and what better radio show to bring you into that cozy, nostalgic mood than the School of Rock? Catch our “Fall Show” on Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.

Rock music and classical music might seem like they would be completely opposed to one another. One champions outrageousness, guitars and excess, while the other oozes refinement, poise and good taste - but there are a surprisingly large number of instances where these two adversarial worlds cross over. Join us as we explore the heady combination of rock and classical! Catch our “Classical Music in Rock Show” this Saturday afternoon at 2, with re-broadcasts on Sunday night at 6 and Tuesday night at 10 only on McNeese Radio, KBYS 88.3, and streaming at kbys.fm.

Stay tuned in this Saturday, 9/13, for the Tom & John Rock ‘n’ Roll Gumbo Show.

In honor of Otis Redding, whose birthday was 9/9, we will be “trying a little tenderness,” holding our partners in “these arms” of ours, and remembering “that’s how STRONG love is.”

Songs that you once danced to when you were young and falling in love will be featured. Turn it up, hold hands, and get up to sway to the rhythms of romance.

7-11am. Join us—we’re always glad to know you’re listening!
