H! Everyone,

Our radio show airs on Saturday, November 11, 2017.  At Rock 50 each year, we honor Veterans Day/Armistice Day.  First half of the show, Metal for the men and women in uniform, as well as our regular listeners.  Second hour, the songs are the hits from years past.  We want to acknowledge those who have lost loved ones and those still recovering and serving as brilliant examples.   Check us out if you have the time.

P.S.  Happy Birthday to the USMC November 10, 2017.

H! Everyone,

Rock 50 Halloween show will air on Saturday, October 28^th, 2017. We’ve got all the usual Hardcore Metal bands, kicking ass for you, and I’ve thrown in some twists and turns, and new stuff, too.  Check us out – if you like Metal, Hard Rock and just plain great songs, Rock 50 has it for you.

Have the kids wear something bright if you’re out trick-or-treating so the cars can see them, and we can see them too.  Have a spooky, safe night.

Rock forever and ever,

Bill
