• AN EARFUL OF ROCK and ROLL.............FROM ROY HARROW
  Hi Guys,
  I have a hobby I do which involves the music of the 50's & 60's rock & roll era.
  I produce a weekly radio show of 1hr duration - complete with jingles to make it as authentic as possible - which is provided totally free & it's called, "AN EARFUL OF ROCK & ROLL".
  It used to be sent out on a mailing list only after people contacted me to say they wanted it but I have now made it available generaly via a new site called, www.spreaker.com where the listener simply does a search on the word "EARFUL" & it will take them to my page where there are some 20 or more editions of the program - ALL FREE!
  I play alot of "B" sides of singles, one hit wonders, local bands & unknown artists that came & went in a week + alot of early Aussie stuff - but ALL GREAT ROCK & ROLL era music. Please pass this on to your members & I hope they get an "Earful" soon!
  
  Regards, Roy Harrow
