NOTES and INFORMATION
SHADES OF CLASSICS SUMMER PROGRAMMING

Shades of Classics begins its summer programming on July 6. Thus there will not be a Feature Work, Canadian Spotlight, or From the Archives feature. But the summer programs will be filled with great music, including a special feature called "Blast from the Past". This segment will feature some of my favourites in the rock and pop genres. Regular programming will resume on September 7.
