XHM #416 - "Only fools by the marina" (2018 July 16)

7:00pm - 9:02pm

Long in the docks but appropriate for the summer weather, it's our yacht rock episode! Going back to the timeframe of 1976-1984 when the West Coast pop sound introduced smooth adult-oriented music to the airwaves, mixing soul, jazz, R&B and rock together with pristine production and light catchy vocals. We'll include some of the music that appeared in the cult online video series that gave Yacht Rock its name.
