We play it all here on our little radio show.
The local musicians and songwriters send in tunes from every genre imaginable..... jazz, rock, funk, blues, reggae, classical, bluegrass, heavy metal, etc.,
and every Monday it's The Shore Made Music Show.

Usually current music reflects society and culture, and feelings about common events such as the economy.

This week most of the songs are gospel.....
and Tom Staub sent in a song about chickens.
