Join CLASSICKONG for the August 29, 2026 edition of This Day in Music History on WTSG-DB.
Today we celebrate the extraordinary legacy of jazz pioneer Charlie “Bird” Parker, remember fellow Hoosier Michael Jackson and his journey from the Jackson 5 to Off the Wall, Thriller and beyond, and salute the legendary Quincy Jones.
Then we turn up the volume with Black Sabbath and “Paranoid,” imagine the incredible 1978 pairing of Black Sabbath and a hungry young Van Halen, remember Iron Maiden hitting the road with KISS in 1980, revisit Jethro Tull’s A, and check in on Night Ranger’s new Best Of collection and their fresh Sweetwater Studios performance of “Wasted Time.”
We also pause to remember the late Dolly Parton — a remarkable songwriter, musician and genuinely kind soul whose music and beautiful smile touched generations.
And on Play Music on the Porch Day, today’s Final Spin asks a simple question inspired by Dolly’s “Do I Ever Cross Your Mind”:
What does it really mean to keep the signal alive?
Sometimes it’s playing an old record. Sometimes it’s telling someone’s story. Sometimes it’s remembering an artist, friend or loved one who put a song into our lives.
Yes. You still cross our minds. ❤️
