here’s a rundown of the lowdown as we get down on JR every day every week every year…….Jivin’ now since October 2014!

Mon-Fri. from 6am to 10am…..Bruce Van Dyke’s Big Bucket O’ Tunes.  random shufflin’ Jive at its most schizoclectic. kinda. mostly favored by those 60 and up.  people under 50 can handle it, generally speaking, for about 20-30 minutes.

one of the great bossjox from the glory days of KFAT, Sister Tiny, does a show for us, “Sister Tiny’s Song and Dance.”  new shows every Saturday from 12pm-2pm, with reruns on Sunday morning 8-10 and Wednesday morning 10-noon.

our good pal Hayseed Don Darue does his long-time romp, The Risky Biscuit Hayseed Hoot, on Saturday mornings 8-10am, with a repeat on Wednesdays from noon-2pm. (the Hoot has now been on the air for 25 years!)

Diane Michaels–The Diyatollah of Rock n Rollah–fires up her Jive Cafe every Friday from 5-7pm, with repeats on Saturday mornings 6-8am, and Wednesdays 2-4pm.

and last but not lost, the still undemented Lonesome Tom Ward has shape shifted once again, and has now become Lump Sum Tom, who brings to you The Velveeta Underground every Saturday night from 6-8pm.  The VU repeats Wednesdays afternoons 4-6pm.

All Other Times……The Central Scrutinizer controls the programming via the Bucket of Colossus, and who knows what’s gonna spin out of that sucker!

we know that many of you Jivers, when you hear a nice song you’re unfamiliar with, like to know the song title and the artist. so that’s why that our radio mascot Klappy here on the home page is has a vitally important gig, since he’s in charge of song and artist i.d., and why it’s a pain in the posterior when he’s on not working.  unfortunately, that is often the case.  we are finding out that it just doesn’t take much to aggravate Klappy and bump him into non-function mode.  for this, we apologize.  So as we try to make Klappy a little less touchy, please remember the backup that’s available for those who like identification, and that is the app called Shazam.  easily downloaded to your device of choice (and free, too), it can be greatly helpful.  once installed, you just hold the phone or tablet or whatever up to the speakers and shazam will usually, within seconds, give you song, artist, and probably a pic of the album cover to boot.

Okey dang dokey?  Carry on, schizoclectic music kook!

At this time, wanna send a little love out there to all who like a nice ice cream sandwich on occasion. If you’re in that group, and I’m thinking a clear majority are, i’ve got a nice tip for you in the semi-crucial world of good ice cream goodies.

Have you ever tried Tillamookies, made of course by Tillamook of Oregon? these are mint chocolate chip ice cream sandwiches avail in all the big supermarts and these little devils are really quite excellent. The ice cream is dandy, but the key to the Tillamookie are the waffle cone cookie layers that contain that ice cream. Simple, yet superb. A confection to be savored. Especially since it’s not very big. Sorta hockey puckish.

Never overwhelming, each yummy disc packs 220 calories, and yes, some nights, some occasions of indulgence……you go ahead and give yourself the green light to let it fly with that second sandwich……..always a good choice.

yeah, there’s a hazelnut flavored Tillamookie that you’ll see, but the mint choc chip is the call here at Jiveradio.
