Hey, Everybody! I’m back in Houston now on the heels of an unforgettable six weeks on the East Coast. One of my favorite memories is traveling through the gorgeous Pocono Mountains for my guest deejay appearance on Roots, Rock, & Revolution with host, Big Kev Ploghoft on WLVR 91.3 FM in beautiful Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. It was something else to be able to sit behind the board for a change and play some of my favorite songs by artists I know personally and artists I’ve admired from afar. There was lots of storytelling and personal anecdotes, too, and it’s always great fun to cut up in the studio with Big Kev. I just got word that the show will be rebroadcast tomorrow evening, so I hope that you can tune in to the Wildman Steve Radio Network on August 17 from 8-9 pm CST at

Not long ago, I read about some new studies which have indicated that listening to radio is more relaxing than watching television. I’ve been trying to take at least an hour a day to check out different programs online when I might otherwise be in front of the TV, and it really does seem to do a world of good to set aside some time to just sit and listen or even to do some housework to the commercial-free strains of an old or new tune that you’d never hear on mainstream radio today. Lately, I’ve been discovering some fantastic free form, blues, jazz, and a variety of roots-oriented programs hosted by some incredibly creative and knowledgeable people in the non-commercial radio industry from coast to coast. If you’d like for me to recommend some of the best shows that I've found so far, just email me, and I’ll be glad to pass along some links.
In the meantime, have some fun while there’s still some summer sun. Until next time . . . Y’all come. Y’all come!
