We boldly go into the ring with William Shatner (with Dennis Diken of The Smithereens on drums) and The Cramps both performing the same song on our Head 2 Head segment on this new Catching A Wave! We really get weird with our Good Time segment...we celebrate the 60th anniversary of another fun album by Mr. Gasser & The Weirdos!
