1053 2Ca - Forever Classic

I feel so old...and a little bit superior if I’m being honest haha. -Marc

Sad news as we say goodbye to the man that gave us “Polk Salad Annie” and “ The High Sheriff of Calhoun Parrish”, Mr Tony Joe White. Tony died suddenly and peacefully at home, aged 75. RIP.

Marc on-air until 2pm today at the Canberra Home & Leisure show with everything and anything to do with caravans, camping, cooking and the home...oh and even a sheep! It’s on until 4pm today and all weekend.

‘Horses’ by Dazza Braithwaite or America’s ‘Horse with no name’.
Fight for your flashback this week is in recognition of the Queanbeyan Cup this Sunday.
Holmesie is judging fashions on the field at the cup so he wants to know which Horse song should be first past the post?

The way we were, 2CA staff circa 1966-67. Does anyone recognise any of these folks?

Remember 2CA’s “A to Z of Forever Classics” ... it just won the Australian Radio Award for best music special. Congrats to Marc McCreadie and PETE Davidson for such great work. Here’s PETE with the award in Melbourne just now.

Fight for Your Flashback has caught royal fever! Inspired by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex making the trip down under, we’re going with music “royalty” as this week’s theme. Beth has chosen 1999 by Prince, while Holmesy’s gone with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody. Which member of music royalty gets your vote? 👑

A Royal Retro Rewind coming up from 5. 💕 Cathy

Join me from Noon today as we play 10 from Then from October 1973! - Chris Mac.

Rain, rain, please come our way.... In this week's Fight For Your Flashback Friday Holmesy and Jen are trying their own rain dance. Holmesy has chosen the Eurythmics' Here Comes the Rain Again, while Jen's has selected Dragon's Rain. Which do you prefer? You can vote up until 7:30 am Friday morning. ☔💧🌈🌧️

John Lennon would have been 78 today. 6 of the best John songs after 5 on the Retro Rewind.✌️💕 Cathy

Reminder to put the clock forward 1 hour tonight when you go to bed. -Marc

Cash on your Radio from Monday! http://2ca.com.au/news/hot/5767-now-playi ng-say-it-a-win

Wow! -Marc

Any votes for the catchiest song you’ve ever heard?

Fight for your flashback this week is quite the conundrum as we ask do you prefer the cover or the original of Mustang Sally - Wilson Pickett (Holmsie's pick) or The Commitments (Beth Rep's pick)?
