The Coast Highway Shuffle Show KX FM

"Goodbye" is the shared element of every one of the song titles played during this final episode of The Coast Highway Shuffle Show.

Along with that is the opportunity to share and express my gratitude to SO many people who have been a part of this musical journey for the past 11 years.

Thank you all, and may your path down your life's road be smooth, joyful and full of love.

Until we meet again, Steve

Yup! It's been 11 years since Laguna's ONLY FM Station, KXFM, was founded!

To celebrate this milestone The Coast Highway Shuffle Show is doing what it always does.....play great music for your enjoyment!

Listen in for great songs from Foo Fighters, Mudcrutch, Steve Stevens, Paul Carrack, The Fixx, Ryan Adams, The Pawnshop Kings, Eric Gales, Counting Crows and SO MANY more!

Plus, we share a 3 song "headset" in a tribute to the late Rudolph Isley of the great Isley Brothers Band!!

Enjoy, and HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

Please join in and listen to this special edition of The Coast Highway Shuffle Show as we say goodbye to an old, dear friend, Mike Mohan, who passed away 2 days ago. {His tribute starts at the 35min mark.}

Mike was also a friend of this radio show and he'd appreciate all the music in this edition, including songs by Nick Lowe, Dire Straits, Los Lobos, Tom Petty, Chris Whitley, Alanis Morrisette, Romane and many more. { And, for good measure, we've also snuck in a few songs with French connections, as a personal vacation nears}.

{Please forgive the 30 sec. gap that opens the recording}

Goodbye, Geeta, old Dawg. We had a good run, and ......we'll save the scrinchee for ya.

Yes, Labor Day signals the end of yet another summer here in Laguna Beach. The kids go back to school, tourists make their final summer runs to visit us and things all over begin to settle down and start to return Laguna to a 'sleepy beach town'.

But the music on KXFM and The Coast Highway Shuffle Show plays on. Sadly, that includes a 'headset' in tribute to the legendary Jimmy Buffett who passed away 2 days ago. Jimmy was known in Laguna for his frequent visits and warm, friendly personality. A true Southern gentleman, he will be missed by millions.

And there are plenty more great songs, as always, on the show! Listen in to songs by Fotomaker, k.d. Lang, Tom Waits, Diesel, Robin Trower, Genesis, Tommy Prine and MANY more!

Ok, this is a FIRST for the Coast Highway Shuffle Show, where we have another great selection of songs for you to enjoy, BUT all are shared under the looming arrival of Tropical Storm Hilary, up from the south Pacific.

So, we have plenty of warnings and updates scattered among songs by artists like Smith, The Baby's, Toubab Krewe, Elbow, The Silencers, Morphine, Gnarls Barkley, 10,000 Maniacs, The Silencers, The Stampeders, Donnie and Joe Emerson, The Jayhawks and many more!

Please stay safe, and ENJOY!!!!

This edition of the Coast Highway Shuffle finds us paying tribute, sadly, to the late Sixto Rorriguez on the occasion of his death.
It also features the expected lineup of great songs by artists like: Wings, Steely Dan, Dire Straits, Loudon Wainwright III, Tom Petty, Peter Frampton, The Meadows, Ziggy Marley and many more!

And, the second hour of this show features the DJ debut of Mr. Brian Hurley! Brian is my co-host on our Thursday 8am to 10am show, "Shades of Grey", but today he takes full reign of the controls at the station for a solo flight! Great job, Brian, and good luck as you 'fly' to great heights in the future!

Have a great week, everyone, and if you can, please take the time donate to a cause that helps our friends in Lahaina, Maui!
