It’s 2025 and Pink Floyd is back at No. 1. The legendary rock band scores a brand new chart-topping album in the United Kingdom as At Pompeii - MCMLXXII debuts in first place on the list of the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the country. Pink Floyd has been on quite the winning streak lately, with both a hugely successful concert film re-release and now a best-selling album to go with it, and both come from recordings made more than half a century ago.

Welcome to the Rumpus Room. I’m Mr. Dana, a retired radio guy with over 40 years of broadcasting experience. Now that I’m off the clock, Mr. Dana Presents: Rumpus Room Radio is simply my way of sharing a lifelong music hobby straight from my home to yours. This isn't an "oldies show”, it’s a straightforward music program for hip seniors who enjoy hearing familiar tunes presented with a little thought behind them.For me, this show is a personal musical diary. I keep the production simple, old-school, and entirely focused on the tracks themselves. I try to put a lot of care into how the songs transition from one to the next, building music blocks that just make sense together. Between the records, I'll share some brief histories, chart positions, and fun facts about the artists.Our core focus covers the music we grew up with from 1950 to 1999, but I also include a Release Radar segment to feature newer music that fits the vibe.You can catch two different sessions every week:
There is no big ego here, just a fellow music lover sharing the soundtrack of a lifetime. Pull up a chair and enjoy the music.Thanks for Listening, Mr. Dana
