Tonights show opens not with the familiar sounds of Big Joe Turner, but rather the somber tones of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young on Neil's song"Ohio". How can you run when you know?

Tonight on Ahmet's House at 7PM EDT, we celebrate the women who helped to shape the great sound of Atlantic Records. We dedicate this program tonight to the wonderful Mica Ertegun, who has opened up a great world to us at WBKM. Happy Mothers Day to moms all around the world, and to the sisters, girlfriends, daughters and all the women who have made our lives so full!

Tonight we start a new feature in Ahmet's House, by looking at the week past and seeing who among the storied Atlantic artists celebrated a birthday. Of course we will mix it up as best we can...to celebrate the diversity and significance of this great catalogue. Tonight's birthdays: Jack Bruce, Bill Bruford, Big Joe Turner, Rick Wakeman and Cher!

We will hear from our good friend Phil Carson, former Atlantic exec in London. Join us as we talk about one of our favorite bands...Yes! From the bands historic beginning opening for Cream, through their groundbreaking trio of albums in the early Seventies, Phil was deeply involved with the band. Lots of birthdays to celebrate too...John Bonham, Ron Wood, Charlie Watts, Ian Hunter and Mick Ralphs (Mott the Hoople), Mick Box (Uriah Heep), Gary Brooker and Matthew Fisher (Procol Harum),

This Sunday is Father's Day in the US and I can't think of a better place to celebrate it than in"Ahmet's House"! Join Tony for some family music as we scour the Atlantic catalog for fathers, sons and daughters making music. Two birthdays to celebrate plus, Part 2 of our recent conversation with Phil Carson about the band Yes and their two definitive albums...Fragile and Close to the Edge.

The first show of Summer! Seems like maybe a bit more Jazz this week will help cool us off...plus a longer than usual selection to celebrate one of the birthday's listed below and there you have it...hope you enjoy! Birthdays: Jeff Beck, Arthur Brown, Patrick Moraz (Yes)

Tonight in"Ahmet's House"at 7PM ET on WBKM we celebrate our upcoming national holiday, a few birthdays...and maybe a little music from Mr. C as well...plus news and a little education. It's all about Ahmet Ertegun and the great catalog of his record label, Atlantic Records.
