Roots and Rhythms
Wednesday March 14th, 2018 with Rompin' Renny
Three brothers (two of whom were identical twins) with rocking harmonies and a wild stage act, they were the hottest band to play the Vegas Strip. Stars of stage, screen and television, THE TRENIERS are the best band you've probably never heard of.

I wish I had some Hadacol for my coffee right about now.

From Wikipedia: Hadacol was a patent medicine marketed as a vitamin supplement. Its principal attraction, however, was that it contained 12 percent alcohol (listed on the tonic bottle's label as a "preservative"), which made it quite popular in the dry counties of the southern United States.

I should have been more patient! You explained hadacol last break.

8:18 PM, March 14th, 2018
Renny G (host)
Yeah but I got the percentage alcohol content wrong.

It must be responsible for some crazy nights. Jerry Lee Lewis has a song called Hadacol Boogie.

Renny G (host)
There's a few Hadacol songs, including one by Prof.Longhair.

Ian J
We should plan a Hadacol party!

It's probably as bad as Jagermeister.

Renny G (host)
Playing this one for you Ian. Speak of the devil....It's a Professor Longhair song.
