Playing By Ear

11/21/2025

I had so much fun during our 80's
playback last week, Pinewave Pals-
So don't put away the Walkman just yet;
we're stickin' with it for Round 2!
Plus, there are WAY more great tunes
than any sane person could fit into one 2 hour show, so it's only logical 😉Join me on
Playing By Ear on Shadypinesradio.com
Friday at 3pm, and let's do it all over again!
Long Live the 80s Parade-y!
👨‍🚀🚀🦉📻🎶😁🤘❤️

Fire up the Flux capacitor, Pinewave Pals!
This week,
Playing By Ear on Shady Pines Radio
is digging into the Time-space Treasure chest,
And celebrating the music of the 1980's!
Give us your best truffle shuffle
(and watch out for the older version of Biff Tannen), cause we're hopping in that time machine and traveling all the way back to the most tubular of times, when Tang was the thing to drink
and ALF the alien was King!
Saddle up your hippity hop, and let's get nostalgic-
Tune in manana and groove with me for PBE,
or the Rhythm is Gonna get YOU!
(Just ask Gloria Estefan, she knows firsthand!)
Grab that Walkman and crank up
Shadypinesradio.com
Friday at 3 for an 80s Parade-y!
🦉📻🤘😉👨‍🚀🛰🎶🚀

Bonjour and bienvenidos, Pinewave Pals!
We're continuing our glorious 90s saga
and tribute to those tunes of yesteryear
(ok, only one year to speak of, fair point)
tomorrow, 10/10 on Playing By Ear
on Shady Pines Radio, with episodes
32 and 33 of PBE- completing the
time-traveling loop saga of 'Visions of 1991,'
with parts 3 and 4 (the Last Boy Scout) and (the Journey Home) before going live again next Friday afternoon. So, if you ever wanted to accidentally
travel back in time to the soundtrack of 1991
and get stuck, this flashback might be for you!
(Big thanks to the Champ- Macho Man Randy Savage, for his help in the endeavor as well!)
Oooh YEAHH! 😎😆
Turn us on for Playing By Ear,
Friday at 3pm on Shadypinesradio.com
