Halloween is next week, so this Saturday’s show will feature a Halloween theme, including a salute to Pittsburgh’s own Joe Flaherty, who died last year.
On Sunday night, I’ll be at Arsenal Lanes in Lawrenceville for a Sunday Night Oldies Party from 9 p.m. to 12 midnight. I’ve already got my funny face on for that.
Coming up in a couple of weeks (Nov. 22), we’ll be broadcasting from McKeesport’s annual Salute to Santa Parade, which gets underway along Fifth Avenue at the McKees Point Marina at 11 a.m. I’ll be handling some of the live video commentary.
I’d love to do some more remote broadcasts on Saturdays, but generally no one asks. So if you have a non-profit event in the Mon Valley area and you’d like Uncle Jay to bring the oldies caravan to it from 12 to 3 p.m. on a Saturday, email me at jaythurbershow@gmail.com. There’s no charge for the service (and believe me, it’s worth every cent).
And for those of you who asked, I’m generally at Arsenal on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. The second Sunday is usually indie rock and alternative pop from the 1980s through today, while the fourth Sunday is an old-fashioned Mon Valley style oldies rock ‘n roll fest.
