"Something old, Something new, Something borrowed, Something dusty." That's how Dennis The Menace describes his show featuring six decades of rock and roll by theme. Don't expect sets about trains, planes and automobile though. The connections are more about achieving the perfect segue, uncovering a deep musicological (or very trivial) factoid about the song or artist. All that and lots offer film tickets to indie films have made the show appointment radio on Friday nights!

“The Menace’s Attic” now airs on Fridays from 9-10 pm PDT on: Radio Valencia, 87.9 in much of San Francisco and http://www.radiovalencia.fm, and on Thursdays 11 am PDT and Sundays  10 am PDT on: IndieSF, http://www.indiesf.com

Producer and Host, Dennis Scheyer
