Mark Rushton and Jon Harnish Get Radio Airplay

Mark Rushton and Jon Harnish got airplay on KUNI-FM's Down On The Corner program on Friday, March 7th.

Winter Wind Chimes and an excerpt of Drift Higher were played.

The show is rebroadcast on Wednesday mornings at midnight (Tuesday evening/Wednesday morning), so you can listen to us again on March 12th at around 12:50am Central Time (US). Stream it live. (Real Player required, although you can get by with just the Real Alternative Codec - much smaller, less intrusive!)

Thanks, Bob Dorr!

Both Jon and I were influenced by Dorr's program Progression on KUNI-FM in the 1980s. Although I grew up in Des Moines, and the signal barely made the 125 mile trip on many nights, I still got to hear Dorr's blend of British pop imports and American indie sounds. Jon, growing up in Cedar Rapids, got to easily hear it all, as did my wife Ann.

To me, Dorr is Eastern Iowa's version of John Peel. His role in changing the culture path for many people is considerable. If you meet anybody who grew up in the 1980s in Eastern Iowa and are into alternative types of music, the finger almost always gets pointed back to Bob Dorr as a major or primary influence.
