Good evening, ladies and gents, guys and dolls! Tonight you’re tuned in to station DUAN, home of all the best hits from the 1920s-1960s. So here we go, time to throw it back to the good ol’ days!

Share some tunes you’re crazy about from days gone by. But none of that newfangled sound the teenyboppers call music nowadays. No sir! We want some genuine Real McCoy handy dandy classic tunes! Hopefully something that you can dance to.

Thank you, cool cats of Deadsplinter for swinging by, and have a good night! Drive safe, folks!
