Hello, students. Time to gas up the Woody, break out the Sex Wax and pack up the cooler with beverages. The weather is getting warmer and the waves are getting higher so it’s time for some sun and sand in your sandwiches. Lesson 50 of the 101 Series says it’s “Surf’s Up!” – we get out of the classroom and on the road to beaches around the world – or maybe right down the 101 Freeway – and listen to lots of twangy guitar. Get your sunscreen and zinc oxide and hop in the back. Time to use some vacation time!

101 Series Lesson 20 – Crosby. Stills & Nash (and Young!)
In honor of the recent passing of BalconyRadio hero David Crosby, we’d like to break into the archives for a show in his memory. Way back when on Lesson 20 of the infinite 101 Series, we covered the music of Crosby, Stills, Nash (and sometimes) Young. We can’t think of a better way to honor the Croz than checking out some of the best harmonizing that ever echoed out of Laurel Canyon.

101 Series Lesson 48: The Doors
Hello, we love you, listen to our show. We’re still on hiatus, but the music never stops. Break on through to the past with a classic Balcony Radio broadcast. This week, we open up the best of The Doors. We’ve got the best live, in studio, and postmortem recordings of L.A.’s house band. Grab a jug of wine and a fist full of peyote, you need to catch up.
