DJ Jojo Johanssen will welcome Sara TAPS from The Awesome Patrol Show, to Sonic Rehab as they take one for the team and revisit their high-school days through music and colors! Enjoy music from their formative years as they go back-to-back, only stopping to ask for your support for KDRT's Spring FUNdraiser! With no plan in place, it's anybody's guess what wonderful (or maybe even sarcastic wonderful) songs will appear. It has been rumored that Jojo is being quite stubborn with a couple tracks, so watch for music from Gene Wilder as well as Yes. Be sure to tune in live to catch the magic on KDRT 95.7fm or kdrt.org this Monday, May 11th from 1-3pm!

If you listen to Dr. Deep's show, you know there's bound to be some unexpected, fun, and crazy music from his side of the science picks. Be sure to tune in and check out the science music tribute back-to-back set, only on KDRT 95.7fm and kdrt.org this coming Monday, May 11th from noon to 1pm!
