We hope the New Year is starting off well for you and we look forward to a Kewl and Phun 2020. Here are a couple of show time changes.

The popular Five O'clock Buffett show will now feature a new show just once per month and will air 4 times a week instead of 8.  And it will be an hour show instead of just 30 minutes.

Fri at 5 PM Sat 2:20 PM, Mon 4:40 PM, Wed 5 AM EST

the next week will be . . .

Fri at 5 PM Sun 7 AM, Tues 4:40 PM and Thurs 1:45 PM.

The Trop 5 will continue with 5 airings per week, see the schedule a little further down on this page.

Then we are proud to usher in a brand new show that will be heard exclusively right here on BeachFront Radio. A show that is close to my heart featuring stories and songs about the roots of Trop Rock music featuring National, and International Songwriters, Singers, Bands and Radio Shows from the 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s and some even earlier. In my book "Trop Rock Songs Stories and Tales" (2011) I mentioned the fact that many people were playing "Trop Rock" like songs a long time ago and so DJ John has found recordings of old shows from long ago. The show is called "78s by Hank Snow". As DJ John will play and discuss radio shows from the past and explain the connections as only he can.  The shows will air every Monday and Thursday at 8 PM EST and the show is one hour long.

And now a report from our Ambassador from Pennsylvania, Craig Guest . . .

 

Peter Mayer’s  “Echoes of the Season” - 20th Anniversary Celebration

The night was filled with Joy, Happiness and Faith and Believing in that “Special One” above.

Peter started out with “Angels We Have Heard on High”.  He used four different guitars in the next song. The music was so good and unbelievable!  The Christmas songs were very, very inspiring.  They also played “Bossanova” music from “Stars & Promises” and “The Little Drummer Boy”.

Peter shared that he grew up in India, the child of American Missionaries.
Later, he returned to the U.S.

He has a strong musical background, including having been a faculty member of Webster University’s School of Music where he taught Jazz Guitar

Peter lives in Nashville now and has played guitar with Jimmy Buffett for the last 30 years. He has also released many albums on his own over the years. His newest album “Passages” is excellent.  Peter is a very talented creator of both words and music.

Now, I would like to introduce Peter’s amazing & talented band:

1.  Brendon Mayer.  Brendon is also a great song-writer and has an album soon to be released.
2.  Zeb Briskovic.  Zeb plays acoustic guitar and electric base.
3.  Miles Vandiver.  Miles plays the drums.  he is also the Jazz Drum Set Director for Southern Illinois University.
4.  Alex Stewart.  Alex played a whole stand of wooden flutes so well !
He also surprised the audience when he entered the auditorium playing the bag pipes. He is a junior at the University of North Carolina, majoring in the oboe.
5.  Josee Weigand.  Josse plays the violin extremely well.  She really added to the thrill of this special night!  She has also performed at the Ascend Amphitheater and at Red Rocks. Josee has another passion-The Theater.  Her original musical “Falling Out” Is scheduled to premiere off Broadway next year.  

I loved hearing such great music from so many fine musicians!
If you want a real treat for the Christmas Season next year, don’t miss it!

The show was sponsored by the Berks County Parrot Head Club.  It was a Benefit Show for the Berks County Crime Alert, a great cause.
