music monday

Well the end of summer was made official here in Cincinnati with last night's WEBN Fireworks. This is the 37th year for this end of summer spectacular from barges on the Ohio River. You can view the fireworks from either the Ohio or Kentucky river bank or even on the river. Those on boats start to claim a good spot a week before the fireworks. A little background on WEBN-The Lunatic Fringe of American FM. This link to wiki tells the tale well. Album formatted rock & roll going back to the 1960's. ***sidebar-Pure Prairie League actually recorded their demo for the song "Amie" in the WEBN studio.***

The end of summer fireworks blast has been choreographed with music played on the radio station since the very first show in 1977. If you wanted the music you dragged along a portable. Yesterday at the end of a three day festival on the river a half a million people forage to the river for this light show. With its outstanding and awesome pyrotechnics from rozzi fireworks the evening is tops.

The music track usually features everything from classic to hard rock and there is your music for this rainy Monday. You can catch the whole of the broadcast on this link WLW fireworks (this is the whole show)
Hope you have a good Labor Day.
While you grill out, enjoy those Negative-Calorie Cookies along with some 'tree frog beer'.
