Thursday Mayhem 22 7pm to Midnight
Hosted by John Goldfarb and Sluggo

If Elvis Presley had never heard a rhythm and blues sextet perform ?Hound Dog? in Las Vegas who knows if Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller would have been known as the biggest songwriting team of the post- WWII world. But that?s what happened. Leiber and Stoller formed their relationship as teenagers in Los Angeles. Their common love was the blues. And, rhythm and blues was growing in popularity. This special will highlight the nascent songwriting career of this duo and then explore what the wide range of musical artists have done with their compositions over the years. Join John Goldfarb and Sluggo as they interview some of the architects of rock ?n? roll and listen to some of the finest craftsmanship of Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.
