Cole the Pony didn’t miss it. But, I did.

Host Rob of “The Movie Music Spotlight” on WBOI, 89.1 FM in Fort Wayne, Indiana featured his fourth annual April Fool’s Day show last evening.

A YouTube playlist is available at the show FaceBook page. Rob also says that the show will be available to stream Sunday, April 1, 2018. (No foolin’?) I assume the stream is from WBOI’s website.

Well. I missed the 2018 Opening Day for Major League Baseball yesterday as well. I should be demoted or fired (like a twinkie).

But, then again, you didn't post anything either!



Check out this archive from syndicated public radio show "American Routes" for some more Baseball tunes and interviews.

TAKE ME OUT TO THE BALLGAME: SPORTS & MUSIC
October 17th, 2007

Feel the thrill of victory as we hear the connections between sports and music in American life. With the World Series upon us, we’ll hear songs about baseball and its heroes in jazz and blues, country and folk. Plus comments from Yankee centerfielder and guitarist Bernie Williams and 1969 Miracle Met (and music lover) Ron Swoboda. And get tips on hitting and the harmonica from Stan “The Man” Musial. In hour two, it’s the music of basketball, boxing, horseracing and football. Meet the bugler at Churchill Downs, and hear about the pull of music from pianist and New Orleans Saints’ cornerback Ashley Ambrose. See you at the game.

This song i linked to you is a soundalike cover from the album "Smash Hits Vol. 03" sadly. I can't find the info, the images or commercial. But the song is from the album "Rockin' All The Over The World" (originally sang by: Status Quo )
