Musical memories

I’ve been listening for about 10 years and want to tell you what a wonderful show you have. I look forward to it each week. I love the stories behind the music.

If You Like History

This is history in sound, music. I started listening quite a few years ago and this is the only podcast that I am subscribed to, that I consistently listen to on a regular basis. Bryce, you have themes we can look forward to each year, such as musicians born in the year 100 years ago (1923) or summer love songs and all kinds of subjects such as veggies. THANKS! This is updated March 21, 2024. Please keep creating the podcasts! Could you do a show featuring tap dancing or shows featuring artists Pearl Bailey and Della Reese? I couldn’t find a place to comment or ask questions. Just know your listeners appreciate you!
