Indiana native sons Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave) and Bill Cameron (Winechuggers) join former Bloomingtonian DJ Jim G on a three hour (!!!) excursion of Indiana music. Fun anecdotes and trade secrets are shared but, mostly the RAWK is delivered here in this particular geographical study. We drop the needle and many grateful nods on some of the best music to come out of the Bloomington/Indianapolis area (and more), 70’s through the present day.
