Catching A Wave 01-01-24

 

On this Catching A Wave, we introduce a new segment we'll hear at least monthly this year called Head 2 Head (2 artists doing the same song)! This first one has "California Sun" by Dick Dale and Ramones. Let us know which one you like the best (we know...it's tough to choose since they're both great!). We also spin a tune by Jan & Dean from an album celebrating it's 60th anniversary in our Good Time Segment. Beth Riley has a deep track by The Beach Boys in her Surf's Up: Beth's Beach Boys Break and we drop a coin in the Jammin' James Jukebox to hear our selection of the week (it's a piano man covering another piano man). Plus, we've got songs by Slowey & The Boats, Chrome Castle, The Beatles, The Nut Jumpers, The Routes, The Breakers, Guitarmy Of One, Man Or Astro-man?, The Joyful Hope, Amphibian Man, Monster Wave, Playa Amarilla and Los Reverb!
