This week, to celebrate The Rockabilly DJ Show's first birthday, we proudly present an extra bonus episode.

Here is a whole hour devoted to the greatest musician to hail from Whitehorse - Al "Yukon Gold" Oster!

This guy has long been a hero of mine, and I hope his simple songs celbrating the frozen 49th state will win you over too.

If you would like to know more about Al, there is an excellent short biography at the Hougens company web page
