the Retro Rec Room
Johnny “Lightning” Panting and “Captain” Alex Regiec welcome you into their basement Rec Room for a journey back in time when shag carpeting, flair leg pants, lava lamps, ripple chips with onion dip and vinyl 45 RPM records were all the rage!
The boys love winding up the old turntable to spin some of the best pop, rock and one-hit wonders that the ‘60s, ‘70s and '80s had to offer mixed in with lively chat about the artists and the music … just for you. For requests, dedications and interesting music trivia, follow along at the Retro Rec Room fan page on Facebook.
