Good evening. Sunday's show (July 5th) will be a bit different for me. The station is giving everyone the full weekend off for the 3-5th due to the July 4th holiday. This will be my very first show in 20+ years that I actually won't be hosting the show (I'll have a hard time staying away...I'll probably sneak in for a break or two. 🤣

It will still be a fun show. The station is doing the "American Heavy 250" all weekend so I'll probably follow suit with as well.

Good Sunday evening. I'm looking for some assistance generating a new show name. My "Morning Mixtape" show has now moved to Sunday from 12 Noon to 3pm. Obviously I can't use that anymore. I've brainstormed a few names and am looking for opinions or other ideas
