With a strong 1950s theme running through the second hour, this is a record that looks back on that era and reflects on the music that shaped it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This week&#8217;s choice is American Pie by Don McLean from 1971, a song I&#8217;ve known since childhood and one of the first I learnt to play on guitar. It&#8217;s always been one I&#8217;ve come back to, both as a listener and a musician, and it continues to hold a special place in my own journey with music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All my Jukebox entries are listed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fred-hart.uk\/radio\/fredsjukebox\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"14660\">on the Fred&#8217;s Jukebox webpage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\ud83c\udfb6 Music Played<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Skipinnish<\/strong> &#8211; Ocean of the Free<br><strong>Show of Hands<\/strong> &#8211; Haunt You<br><strong>Fairground Attraction<\/strong> &#8211; Perfect<br>\ud83c\udde9\ud83c\uddea <strong>Wincent Weiss<\/strong> &#8211; Kaum erwarten<br><strong>Muse<\/strong> &#8211; Be With You<br><strong>Luke Bryan<\/strong> &#8211; Country And She Knows It<br><strong>Haircut 100<\/strong> &#8211; Love\u2019s Got Me in Triangles<br><strong>Seth Lakeman<\/strong> &#8211; Another Long Night<br><strong>Jamie Smith&#8217;s Mabon<\/strong> &#8211; Yes We Sing Now<br>\ud83c\udf1f<strong>Eddie Cochran<\/strong> &#8211; Summertime Blues<br><strong>\ud83c\udf1fAlan Jackson<\/strong> &#8211; Summertime Blues<br><strong>Marty Wilde<\/strong> &#8211; A Teenager In Love<br><strong>Brantley Gilbert<\/strong> &#8211; Good Damn<br><strong>Peter Andre<\/strong> &#8211; All About Us 2.0 (feat.
