Reminiscing With Robin
Let your mind go. Drift into our glorious musical past. Remember
how radio used to be in the '60s and '70s? Sure we listened
eagerly to the exciting new world of Rock 'n' Roll. But we also
relaxed into the reassuring pop ballads, love songs and jazz music
of the '30s, '40s and '50s. Robin Carbins lets the music take you
back to times when life was simpler. Re-live the flavour.... and
relax. A perfect way to end your day.

Coast
Talk
If you want to know what's happening that may be new and unusual
around the Coast district, Ralph Gourlay keeps his ear close to
the ground and chats regularly with the people and organisations
who serve our community. Whether it's an activity from your local
club, or a performance of puppets from Iran, you'll hear about it
on Coast Talk. Ralph binds his interviews all together with a
pleasing mix of popular, folk and jazz music that is easy on the
ears -- perhaps new to you if you're under 30, and pleasingly
familiar if you're over 40. Grab a cuppa and put your feet up for
a while.

Spectrum Music is a
reliable marker for times of social change, at times
a point of breaking out or of radical social change and, at other
times, evolutionary
upheaval. But what was ordinary
daily life really like then? How well do you remember it? How did the
times change the books you
read, the people we voted for, the theatre, films and television we
watched, and the music we
listened to? Dave Hall remembers. When he was growing up in
Adelaide, the son of a family
of show business people, he grew to be a supreme showman himself, and
now brings his
considerable talents to bear on recreating the feel and the flavour
only Dave can muster showcasing the full spectrum of music and more
from decades gone, but not forgotten. He revives
memories, recalling what was making news and who were the movers and
shakers. But Dave's trip
is a lot more than a mere peep into a museum; "Spectrum" is more than
just lively
lunchtime entertainment. It is also a sound reminder of the times that
shaped all of our lives.......

My
Kinda Country
Trevor Dawson is regarded by industry insiders as one of South
Australia's leading authorities and
presenters of Country music. Over more years than he'll admit to,
Trevor has learned what country
lovers like to hear - a mix of solid "classic" music from the golden
age of Country & Western (the
'50s, typified by icons like Patsy Cline and Hank Williams, and the
'60s headed up by great
performers like Emmylou Harris), peppered with brilliant new-generation
up-comers like Carlene
Carter. You'll delight in small doses of trivia and anecdotes, and
you'll be surprised by some of the
great artists who drop in for a chat. You'll also be pleased and proud
to know that one in every three
tracks showcased on My Kinda Country features Australian artists, If
you like Country, My Kinda
Country is your kinda country.

Close Encounters of a Community Kind
Being
part of a community is important to personal wellbeing and the general
health of communities as a whole. As the opening song for the TV
program "Cheers" goes, "Making your way in the world today, takes
everything you got, taking a break from all your worries, sure would
help a lot, wouldn't you like to get away, to where everybody knows
your name, and they're always glad you came, you wanna be where you can
see, our troubles are all the same, you wanna be where everybody knows
your name". Community groups/organisations help to connect people
in this way. Together they have something to offer everyone in
the community, so you are bouond to hear about an organisation or group
on this program that will suit your interests and needs.

Lost In Time "I haven't heard that in years!!". If
you thought a particular song has been "lost in time", "Rhino"
Ryan will find it. Starting from a base-frame of "events that happened
on this week back through
the last 6 decades", Lost in Time noodles out old pub-singalong
favourites - mainly rock 'n' roll,
blues and a smidgin' of country - songs that we may have forgotten were
once familiar to us. Every
week, too, you get 3 Aussie tracks from South Australian artists
(there's a 15-year-old girl from Mt.
Gambier who sings like a 30-year-old professional, and local pub bands
that hold their own with
the best). Lost in Time, thanks to the internet, now attracts regular
listeners who call in from the
South and Eastern seaboard of the USA, Wales and Scotland. Broaden you
musical experience and
revive those forgotten faves you used to sing in the shower.
Reliving
The Memories
Under the guidance of long-time DJ, Roy Gareffa, let two hours of pure
nostalgia sweep over you.
Each Tuesday morning Roy selects a Feature Vinyl Album from the past 50
years and plays a track
from it every half hour. Each week at 12.30 am he also selects a
particular year and plays hits that
topped the charts in that year. At 1:15am he recalls momentous events
that happened on this day,
and the music that accompanied them. Whether your tastes run to Slim
Dusty or Joan Sutherland,
you'll find every journey through time a refreshingly rewarding and
relaxing experience.

right through to the nineties. Nat King Cole & Guy Mitchell, Pattie
Page & Teresa Brewer, Elvis & Roy Orbison, the Beatles &
Lulu, Dire Straits & Chris Isaak, Robbie Williams & Kylie, and
even a little bit of Lady Ga Ga. Jim plays them all. And there’s always
a couple of boppy modern country songs, a joke or two, and some
interesting slants on the music being played.
Relive the music you grew up with, music that brings back all your treasured memories.
Jim welcomes your calls, and will always do his best to play your requests.

Coast
Talk
Steve McNally likens his Tuesday coast Talk to Forest Gump's idea of
life - a box of chocolates; "you never quite know what you might get".
For example, the music is based around a theme which could be as
way-out as "Song titles with 8 or more words", or "Songs with a colour
in the title", or "Songs with numbers in the title". Steve invites you
to ring in and suggest themes for future shows.
Coast Talk is about interviews, too - primarily with people in the
"entertainment" industry....musicians, authors, performers... Every
week there's a rundown from the Red Cross on current mobile blood
donation centres. Every month he talks with people from the Department
of Consumer and Business Affairs about current scams, and every two
months there's a lively discussion with people from the Equal
Opportunity Commission SA about what to do if you encounter
discrimination, and a rundown of free services they offer. Tuesday
Coast Talk is packed with info-tainment.

has lassoed
Australian independent country music artists, plus a few overseas
"strays"for you to sing along
with, dance to, laugh at, be entertained by and reminisce about. Who
knows, you may even let go a
spontaneous yodel! Sandwiched by the music you'll find information
about the artists, 'phone
interviews, studio guests, giveaways, and "Jimmy" (Who's Jimmy? Tune in
and find out!) You can
request your favourite country artists and songs via the studio
phoneline (08-8371-1000). After two
hours, you'll be ready to stash the nosebag, pick up the reins and

Driving home can be a chore and a bore, but not with Coast FM and a
familiar friend - Peter Haran
-- in the passenger seat for company. He'll keep you bopping along with
up-tempo beats and
familiar tunes that soothe away the cares of the day, but keep you
alert and alive. Wherever there's a
major holdup, Peter's listeners ring in with on-the-spot reports so you
won't get caught. There are
also newsey notes on what's happening in your area tonight. But chat is
kept to a minimum; the
music moves you along. It seems like you're home in no time at all with
Peter Haran - the perfect

Vets On Air was an original idea and is probably the only community

boasts an avid weekly audience that is spread as diversely as
Queensland, Jerusalem, the West Bank
of the Jordan, Fiji, Cyprus, Somalia, the Sudan, the Solomon Islands -
anywhere Australian service
personnel and Federal Police are currently deployed. Blending a 50/50

information, and now past 350 shows over the last 7 years, Vets on Air
and host John Gilman
connect with current and former diggers, unearthing a mineload of news,
information and
interviews from Veterans' Affairs and Counselling Services. There are
practical information
resource segments, too, like The Sick Bay and Memorial aimed primarily
at vets of any and
every conflict our country has been involved in anywhere in the world,
"Vets" is also an excellent
way for civvies like us to get to know what our boys and girls are up
to. So, get your boots off, get

Regardless of the genre, if it's good and it's local, you'll hear it

Mandi Faerie is passionate (yes, that's the right word) about promoting
South Australian artists and
bands, be they folk, blues, indi-rock or indi-alternative, or anything
else for that matter, and she has
her feelers out for recent Australian music. Mandi interviews local
artists live in the studio, and
interstate and overseas artists coming to Adelaide phone in to join in.

Blues Around The Coast
If you know the difference between country acoustic, Chicago electric,
and Texas blues; if you've
heard of Chess Records, or if you know the real names of guys like
Muddy Waters and Howling
Wolf, then this is definitely your gig. The Snowman started with Coast
FM way back in 2001
hosting the Party Mix programme on Saturday nights, so he knows what's
what, and how black
American Blues influenced the English and European music scene through
The Rolling Stones and
The Animals. You'll get news on current and coming "live" blues gigs,
and hear the best of new
releases hot off the presses, too. If it's music and blue, you'll get
it wall-to-wall every Tuesday night
on Coast FM.
Seachange
Adam Horsell breaks the mould midweek at midnight with more modern,
up-tempo rock music
from bands like Regurgitator, Smashing Pumpkins and The Venue; and
contemporary blues by
artists like Johnny Lang and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. Of course, Adam's
repertoire ranges far wider
than that, but this is just to give you an idea of the territory he's
inviting us to expand into here.
Adam confesses that he is himself on an evolving musical journey, and
he shares with us his latest
loves and finds. For our more traditional listeners he gives us a
little background information on the
artists and numbers, enough to pique our interest and open up our
capacity to appreciate modern
rock and blues, and encouraging us to make for ourselves the new
musical discoveries he has made.
He invites you to call him and share your experience of this new breed
of music. Join those who've
already made the leap of faith, and enjoy yourself in a very different
way.

A
Little Night Music
Unless you're a shift worker, it's highly likely that, if you're awake
at 3am, it's because you cannot
sleep. You are not alone; insomnia is an all-too-common problem. Coast
FM's new programme, "A
Little Night Music", unique on Australian radio, has been created to
help your transition from the old
day to the new. You'll arrive rested, refreshed, re-created and ready
to greet the dawn, more buoyant
and confident. Presenter Barrie Barkla focuses his special combination
of theatrical experience and
therapeutic crisis counselling skills to produce a 3-hour inward
adventure -- a heady and heartful
mix of music, words and sounds from nearly every genre in the book,
mixed with comedy and
meditation. Every ten minutes there are themed Specials; there's comedy
every hour, and around
4:20am, a special feature called "Just a Moment" invites you to look at
some aspect of life from a
new perspective. Barrie says "I've found a way to put my listeners
peacefully to sleep without
boring them to death. This is Theatre of the Mind. You'll arrive at 6am
feeling inspired, hopefully
empowered, and certainly a whole lot better about the world and
yourself in it. You'll be raring to
go." Even as a background for shift workers who have to stay alert,
alive and terrific, A Little Night
Music beats the pants off commercial "easy listening".

Breakfast
A brekky show that gets you up and out on the bright side of the bed.
No, it's not Groundhog Day,
it's Wednesday Breakfast, a programme that showcases music from the
'60s and '70s and actually
SOUNDS like radio from that era - Anecdotes, trivia, gags, and jokes
pepper a lively mix of real,
analogue music, much of it off original vinyl. Either side of regular
news, sport and weather reports,
Rod McLennan gives you goss on the music tracks, while David Walker
answers the phones and
passes on listener reports of traffic and transport snarls and accident
hotspots to avoid on your way
into the "smoke". Start your Wednesdays sunny- side up: stretch your
mental muscles, and arrive informed,
in-form, refreshed and rearing to go.

Coast
Talk
Way back in the primoridal mists of time past, Brian & Laura
Vercoe's programme used to be
known as "Penny Arcade", but when their format developed to incorporate
more talk, a listener riot
ensued when the familiar Roy Orbison theme was dropped, so back it came! Brian & Laura understand
what makes community radio so vital and why their listeners remain so
loyal - they bring in real
people to share their "me-too" stories of life and living, and they use
the radio medium to connect
those who need help with those who want to help. And then there's the
music - a magical mix of
foot-tappers and ballads from Brian's beloved '50s & '60s,
interlaced with Laura's cherished '70s and
'80s. Then, after 11am, it's in-yer-face, unashamed Rock 'n' Roll.
Wednesday Coast Talk is more than just talk, it's a
roller-coaster of bright entertainment.

Lunchbox
When we hark back to the '50s and '60s, we're tempted to think of the
revolutionary arrival of Rock
and Roll artists like Bill Haley, Little Richard, Bo Didley and Elvis.
But the truth is, 80% of what
we listened to, and still made the Hit Parades, were artists like Dean
Martin, Perry Como, Frank
Sinatra, Leroy Anderson, Doris Day, Jo Stafford, Peggy Lee, Freddie
Gardiner, Mantovani and
Andre Kostelanetz. These were the songs and sounds we listened to in
the milkbars and record
shops and heard at the movies. These were the melodies and songs that
shaped our ideas of romance
and inspired our chat-up lines. Take a relaxing lunch break....... and drift off for a while.

enjoyably involved by celebrity

Stage
& Screen
It's refreshing to come across a show-business programme that is hosted
by a performer, rather than
a journalist or a critic. Don Goldsmith's life is inspired by the music
of living, breathing, bloodpumping
theatre, be it Broadway, vaudeville, opera or movie music. Every week
you'll hear what's
happening in South Australian professional and community theatre and
film. On the first
Wednesday of every month, Don and associate Jack Curtis present
"Encore" - a magazine segment
featuring the goings-on in local community theatre, including amateur
and professional audition
calls. Weekly themes bring you an immense variety of music; you may
encounter a galaxy of
Naughty Soubrettes, a heady curry of Aussie and Indian dishes on
Australia/ Indian Independence
Day, a rollcall of Aussie and British war songs on Anzac Day, and
specials on the Great Stars of
Stage and Screen - everyone from "Our Glad" to Julie Anthony, from
George Formby to Anthony
Warlow. If it's up in lights, or wears tights, you'll find it on Stage
& Screen.

Relaxing Interlude
When you've had enough nerve-jangling for one day, it's amazing how the
right mix of music - the
right tones and textures, the right pace and rhythms, the right words -
can relax your body, soothe
your mind, touch your heart and satisfy your soul. Ludmila en-lightens
our Wednesday evenings
with an hour of light classical chilling-out that drifts into a second
hour of oh-so-easy listening
across all the pastures of jazz, blues, soul, and popular light
entertainment. Let Ludmila help you
put the day to rest and set you up for a restful night's sleep.

On The Coast
If a lineup of '60s to '80s rock 'n' roll artists and groups like
The Rolling Stones, Jimmi Hendrix, The Yardbirds, Bob Dylan, The
Little River Band and Jethro Tull sounds like your bag, you're
going to have a ball with Graham Parsons from midnight to 2am
every Thursday morning. Hear all the greats in studio recordings,
live concerts, and even the occasional demo disc - this is rockin'

Pyjama Country
After 18 years as a Coast FM presenter, Frank Roberts has a firm grip
on the helm of a show that
takes us back to the greats of Australian and American Pioneer Country
music - Buddy Williams,
Smoky Dawson (the original one), Tex Morton, Slim Dusty, Joy McKean,
Gene Autry, Tim
McNamara, the Le Garde Twins, Jimmie Rogers, the Carter Family, Kitty
Wells, Hank Williams,
Chad Morgan and Reg Lindsay....... Frank also trots out from his
extensive collection, precious
studio transcriptions of interviews conducted in the 50's and 60's with
contemporary country artists
by Jim Francis (ex-ABC country expert) and Robert Fricker (ex-5AD). To
lovers of country music,
these snippets of radio music history are priceless, and you'll only
ever hear them on Coast FM's
Pyjama Country.

Waking up with Joy
No chance of staying bleary-eyed for long when you wake up on Thursdays
with Joy. She's
revving to run with '60s, '70s and '80s country, pop, trad jazz,
rockabilly and rock 'n' roll - truckies
love this gal! And at 7.10 she drops in "On This Day....."; and Famous
Birthdays at around 7:45am.
Strewn around the rest of the morning you'll pick up snippets of "Did
You Know?" ... you know,
the kind of light and useless trivia we love to pick up and drop into
conversations for the sheer fun
of it. If getting up in the mornings is a bit of a drag for you....wake
up with Joy for a change.
Warning: Joy is habit-forming, and she may be, too.

Community radio is all about, well... community - the things we have in
common and the things
we like to do together. Dave Hearn updates us on current and pending
community events. But he
does much more, delving behind the activities to the heart and soul of
the people involved. He
regularly interviews people from organisations like the RSL, Arthritis
SA, and Seniors SA, and
chats with the guys and girls from the Sturt division of SAPolice. He
regularly catches up on air
with the mayors of West Torrens, Onkaparinga and Holdfast Bay Councils,
and once-monthly he
checks in with MP. Robert Brokenshire, to get a perspective on what's
happening politically. On the
second Thursday of every month he looks at the coming issue of the
Boomer Magazine. What's
new? What's of import? What's interesting? Thursday Coast Talk is
itself a magazine of stories and
useful information, stitched together with what Dave describes as "easy
music with a beat". Now
that's Info-tainment.

Beat Box delivers what commercial radio cannot - catchy, wall-to-wall,
singalong entertainment
and bubblegum pop - songs you grooved to, mixed with rarities and
long-lost hits, mostly from the
'60s and '70s. We're talking Abba, Boney-M, The Bay City Rollers, the
Partridge Family, The
Master's Apprentices, and novelties from entertainers and groups like
the 1910 Fruitgum Company.
Mark Constable has been driving the Beat machine now for over 18 years.

On The Border
On The Border takes you to a place where the borders blur between
so-called "genres" - where
Music, regardless of its type, is "music to your ears". Judith Waugh
takes a mostly intuitive
approach to each show, allowing her choices to be inspired by real-life
happenings in the week. Her
choice of a track may be provoked by a particular rhythm, a lyric that
tugs at your consciousness, or
a particular nostalgic pull. And she leaves spaces in her rundown to
improvise in response to your
calls. Coast FM's On The Border is a refreshing return to "live" radio
– a whole new world away
from the contemporary, computer-controlled, "canned" McListening on
other music stations.

Thursday Drive
Whether you are on the road, still at work, or at home, your host Allan
Baird keeps you entertained
with music from the '60s, '70s and '80s - your favourites and some you
may not have heard in a
long time. The first track after the 4pm News and Weather always
commemorates an artist who is
celebrating a birthday on that day. In the first hour you'll also hear
interviews with high-profile

Thursday
Deluxe
"Deluxe" means "special". Coast's Thursday Deluxe steps out of the
mainstream - even Coast's
mainstream to unearth blues, swing and rock 'n' roll artists you may
not have heard before, and
different sides to artists you may know. Presenter, Malcolm Hill
subscribes to the dictum: "There
are only two kinds of music ... music you like, and music you don't
like" Malcolm only plays the
first kind. Get your adrenaline pumping with Rockabilly, both classic
(like Buddy Holly and early
Elvis) and modern (starting with The Stray Kats). Follow the musical
journey from Hillbilly,
through Rockabilly, to Rock 'n' Roll and have a thumping good time
along the way.

Soul Power
Tony Clarke is one of the original pioneer presenters on Coast FM. He
specialises in R & B and
Soul - southern, traditional and modern. He musically explores the
roots of soul in country &
western, folk, spiritual and gospel music. At around 10.20 pm every
show, he invites us to stand On
Gospel Corner. He'll feature specials on soul artists coming to perform
in Adelaide (like Mary J.
Blige), and he's always on the alert for rare-as-hens'-teeth tracks of
local artists from the small,
independent record labels. Local soul artists find it hard to get
recorded; if there's a new track been
cut anywhere in Australia, you'll hear it on Soul Power.
On
the Coast
Pommie-born Linda Longster grew up immersed in the sounds of The
Beatles, Gerry & The
Pacemakers, Cliff Richard & The Shadows (and Norrie Paramor),
Herman's Hermits and, of course,
Elvis. Outside of the Iron and Bamboo Curtains, who didn't? Aussie
Kevin Wallace grew up to all
that, plus the strains of Col Joye, Lucky Starr, Billy J. Kramer, Helen
Reddy and The Bee Gees. So
you now know what to expect On the Coast. If you have a special
request, call in - you may be
surprised what they have stashed away under the desk. Just after 1am,
join Lindy Lou "In the Back Row" and take in the music from a feature
movie-of-the-week. While away the wee hours
every other week with Wally & Lindy Lou.

Popcorn
May be you're one of those many who have to stay awake in the wee
hours, or maybe you're getting
up for an early start. Derek Mikolaj mixes up a light and bubbly bag of
rock 'n' roll, reggae, country,
R & B, jazz, and jive. Around 3.30 am he has a "classical"
feature, which can be anything from
William Tell to the complete Tubular Bells. At 4.30 it's comedy/novelty
time, and at 5am there's a
dedicated half-hour especially for truckies. You may even hear one of
scores of versions of the 1972
"Popcorn" hit --- have you heard it played on beer bottles, or by a
fleet of Calcutta cab drivers?
Keep listening to Popcorn.......

Sunrise
Stereo Sunrise is a busy, jam-packed showcase of all that Coast FM is,
and stands for. Just after 7am
you get Morning Trivia for the day in question, and a song from
yesteryear that hit #.1 on this day.
It 7.45 am it's time to laugh at ourselves with the inimitable Billy
Cokebottle. Around 8.15 host
Lynne Cavanagh turns her spotlight on the station itself, giving you a
chance to meet and get to
know other Coast presenters, especially those who provide us with
special-interest shows outside of
the mainstream nine-to-five. At 8.30am, of course, it's time for laughs
again with "How Green Was
My Cactus". Lynne cements all that together with our up-to-the-minute
news, sport, weather reports
and lively popular, country, blues and jazz music from the 60's through
to now - the kind you
expect from Coast FM. By the time 9am arrives you'll feel like a cuppa!

Coast Talk
Radio is the background to much of our lives, but when something
interesting comes along, we
bring it to the foreground, and enrich our day. That's Barry Gower's
definition of Entertainment, and
that's what he does. Coast Talk features interviews with with
well-known personalities from the past
and the present, and regular updates from people who work on the ground
with local community
organisations like the Guide Dogs Association, the Animal Welfare
League, and the Royal Flying
Doctor Service. With familiar music from the '50s through to the '80s
he brings back memories of
significant events in each of our personal lives. "When people ring up
and say 'I enjoyed that!', I
know I've done my job," says Barry.

Midday
Memories
Midday Memories taps into the power of the past for our listeners.
Presenter, Roger Britcher says it
best - "We supply the music - you bring your memories." The resulting
celebration works. For two
hours over lunch every Friday afternoon you hear the music you love to
remember, and you're
welcome to ring in and share your recollections. A few weeks ago Roger
played - off the original
vinyls - a whole programme of Legends of Rock 'n' Roll from the '50s
and '60s. The response was
so huge, he followed it up a week later with the flip sides. The phone
rang hot. Expect more
surprises.... and settle in for a laidback lunch you'll remember.

Gospel
& Country
Inspiration, healing and emotional uplift are the keynote ingredients
of a programme designed to
heal the wounding spirit with music. Don't be surprised to find that
some of the music played by
Maurie and Trevor isn't strictly "gospel", but it is always
inspirational. No preaching, no religion,
just music that re-connects you with your spirit. After two hours with
these guys and their special
kind of music, you'll feel more centred, relaxed, and a whole lot
better about yourself and the world
you live in. If there's a "special" song you'd like to hear, give
Maurie a call. They may be able to
play it for you that day.

Remember
Then
"Doo Wop" was a term coined retrospectively in the '70s to describe a
genre of jazzy group harmony music that proliferated in the '50s and
'60s. Rising out of the disciplined, tight harmonies of '30s and '40s
groups like The Andrews Sisters, The Mills Brothers and the Inkspots,
came the finger-clicking, hand-clapping, rocking tight-harmony rhythms
of the Platters (Only You), the Marcels (Blue Moon), Curtis Lee (Pretty
Little Angel Eyes), the Monotones (The Book of Love), Danny and the
Juniors (At the Hop), and Australia's Delltones (Hangin' Five). These
people were all immaculate showmen and women: they sang, they danced
and performed choreographed routines for cabaret and telvision. Thanks
to Geoff Groth and Coast's "Remember Then", Doo Wop is no longer the
forgotten 1/3rd of R & B, but takes pride of place alongside
the Instrumentalists and Soloists.

Rock
Relics
'50s and '60s Aussie and overseas pop and rock, and "wonderful woosies"
(ballads) mix delightfully
together in a 2-hour musical stew from Stuey Shaw. Every Friday there's
a weekly spotlight on past
greats like Manfred Mann, Mike d'Abo, Bev Harrell, Little Richard and
Marcie Blane. You'll hear
their first songs and 3 tracks that highlighted their careers, along
with info on how and where they
got started, how they got their breaks, what happened afterwards and,
if they're still with us, what
they're doing today. Keep an ear out for David's Delight - David Walker
plays 3 of his favourite
vinyl tracks of the rock era. You'll find a treasure trove of big hits,
not-so-big hits, and the
occasional surprise that never hit at all. And, of course, there's an
hourly track (at least) from Stuey's
not-so-secret obsession - the Dave Clark Five.

Friday Rock
Stand back for this unique mix of good, heavy rockin' music presented
by "The Odd Couple" - straight-laced Les Sobieraj and "Dangerous" Dave
Hall. Rock and blues band-legends like the
Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, the Moody Blues and
Black Sabbath jostle for
supremacy with not-so-well-known groups like Mountain, Airbourne,
Saxon, Def Leppard, and Iron
Maiden. Les & Dave pledge you (good, hard, honest rock". Their
motto - "If you find the music is
too loud, maybe you're too old."" They include themselves in
that challenging assessment. Are you
up for it?

Beat Goes On
Put your hand over your left chest. Can you feel your heart? Well,
while that keeps pumping... the

host Gary Cook celebrates the
bands, the songs, the melodies, the riffs and rhythms and the albums of
those bands and artists from
the Seventies, especially those who are still out here pumping. For 4
hours every Saturday morning,
he brews a power-packed heart-starter for the weekend. He spices the
brew with info on what the
bands and artists are doing now, and on what makes them real. For
example, did you know that
Peter Gabriel was an army brat? What did his Dad and Mum do? Jump-start

hearts. In the first hour they present a mix of programmed and
requested hand-clappers and toe-tappers. Towards 12.45 they start
winding back the clock. After 1pm we're rocking back in the Fifties

communication throughout the local game, promote the good and discuss
the not-so-good. Each Sunday morning the panel gives the latest results
out of the Premier One, Henslite Cup, Ladies' Pennant and all State
events and matches. There are studio guests and interviews with
International, Australian and State champions, and the latest
despatches from the headquarters of Bowls SA and Bowls Australia. If

Coast FM.

Orange
Blossom Special
"The Houndog", "Louisianna Hayride", "Orange Blossom Special" ….. the
tradition continues on
Coast FM every Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock - fittingly the same time
that the original Houndog
aired. Through her love and support of local bands, Christine
discovered The Houndog with Bob
Shannon, and was invited one afternoon onto the show as a guest. Her
involvement grew out of her
love for listening and dancing to local rockabilly bands. She says, "I
live in, and support the
community that plays, listens to and sometimes dresses up and dances to
'40s and '50s rockabilly,
Lindy hop, blues and swing..... And I LOVE to play the ladies!", she
adds with a hint of passion.
Orange Blossom Special celebrates the feel-good era, the clothing, and
the sounds. There's a Gig
Guide every week at 3pm, keeping us up to date on what and where the
local bands are jumping....
Anything you can dance to, you'll hear it on Orange Blossom Special.

a coldie or a glass of what you
fancy, turn on The Baldman's soothing brand of Sunday musical unguent -
'60s and '70s, right
through to today. A sampling of today's show reveals Wings, Paul Simon,

Bible
Spotlight
The Bible is more than just a treasure-trove of historic and totemic
stories and ponderings by and
about a bunch of people who lived a long time ago: the Bible is an
inspired revelation, and has
immediate relevance and meaning for our everyday life and living, and
to the headlines in this
morning's news. Tim Colliver and his guests on Bible Spotlight share
their personal quests for a
better understanding of Bible teaching, and offer hints and ways for us
to study the Bible for
ourselves. Sponsored by the Christadelphians, Bible Spotlight each week
raises a question or a
theme and features everyday guests (no professional theologians), who
discuss and share what
they've learned from the Bible, and their real "got-it" experiences
that have flowed from their
explorings. There is also discussion on and around the role of women in
the Bible and in the
Church. This is a programme based on the premise that we learn best
from experience and from
each other.

A
Touch Of Jazz
A friend said to Coast FM founding member, Eddy Van Reeuwyk, recently -
"Eddy, you've almost
converted me from trad jazz!". His "Touch of Jazz" programme embraces
artists and bands who hail
after 1970, a rich mine of splendid music from the likes of Erroll
Garner, Don Burrows, Diana
Krall, Four-Play, Cleo Laine, James Morrison, Patti Austin, Oscar
Peterson...... great performers,
great music and no avant-garde. While you're chilling out your Sunday
evening, you can also look
forward to interviews with jazz musos who are passing through town, and
local jazz artists currently
working the pubs and clubs. Eddy comes from and maintains a long family
tradition of classical and
jazz musicians - you can tell. This is Quality.
