@bout Steve Propes...

In the magical days when KLON-FM spewed Jazz and Blues like a smokestack over the San Gabriel River Delta, Steve Propes flipped varietal disks of the R&B, Do-Wop, Blues, and Rockabilly strains to great acclaim.

Steve joins our own Deejay Middlebrow at Cars Land to check out the background music and chat about some classic car tunes in the linage of "Hot Rod Lincoln."
