grown-up guys who definitely don't fit any lurid 'musician's lifestyle; This may dawn on you, as you jump feet first into 'Suddenly Summer', an anthemic, Ramoneish, Sheena-era jammer about "The Summer we never met". Imagine Surfpunk Wally Cleaver w/a dab of Rollins and Joey Ramone, as this fist-waving buzz-out gets your attention, both feet jumping and head bopping from first crunch to last. A little about face, as a snappy build-upfanfare intros the surfpop heart of "Caroline", the singer begs and kicks ass at the same time, in a trademarked, simply hooked toon with tightly ominous ax overtones and rumbles, making you think they're gonna go heaaavvy all  out psycho at any moment, but instead continue riffing away with American Pop-Cool.

     The show is fun for the listeners and Mac alike as he also presents a weekly "guitar school" feature in which he gives a basic lesson with his guitar in hand on how to put together some blues moves for beginners on that instrument.  Throughout his shows, Mac thanks his listeners for their ears, and urges them to "be an original".  He also uses his own ears to get a handle on what his listeners have to say either on the station's request lines or via e-mail (boxofblues@aol.com).  Got a request? He'll endeavor to play it if he has it, or get it for a future play if he doesn't already have it.
