Welcome, Weekenders! It’s Saturday in The Lounge and we’ve got some early-to-mid sixties music, Dolly’s AOW grand finale, and Fats Domino & Dave Bartholomew as our featured singer-songwriters.
Here’s your Saturday lineup:
9:00 a.m. The Original Sixties Rotation, Volume One: Various Artists

4:00 p.m. Album of The Week: Rockstar by Dolly Parton FINAL AIRING!
This is the final airing of Dolly’s great rock opus, in response to her induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. However, don’t fret. It is party of our standard rotation now.
8:00 p.m. Singer-Songwriter Series: The Music of Fats Domino & Dave Bartholomew NEW!
Every time we play Fats, I ask the same question: Was anybody singing rock n’ roll before Fats? I’m not sure. For absolute sure, Fats Domino was a true pioneer of the genre…one of the forefathers who made it happen. Today, along with his long-time collaborator, Dave Bartholomew, Fats is our featured singer-songwriter.
I’ll be off to the salt mines for one more day today, but The Music Mermaid has got this totally covered. She’ll take care of the wide Open Stream in between as well. Hope you all have a fantastic day!
