WATCH PAST SHOWS: https://rumble.com/c/groovygrooves Groovy Grooves with Ron Klutho Saturday Nights: 10:00pm – 11:00pm Join Ron Klutho every Saturday at 10pm CT to hear songs and memories that will transport you back to a groovier place and time — the 1970s. The ’70s were the grooviest decade of all, filled with bell bottoms, smiley pins, and the Brady Bunch. The show is called Groovy Grooves because back then, music was on records with grooves and had to be played on a record player, which Ron still does. Listen to Groovy Grooves every Saturday night at 10pm CT to hear songs that you probably haven’t heard in over 50 years and will definitely put a smile on your face. About Ron Klutho Ron Klutho worked for many years teaching English as a Second Language and working in refugee ministry, so he developed an interest and appreciation for world cultures, traditions, and languages (and food!). His teenage years were in the 1970s, when things were groovy and the world made sense (at least in hindsight). Those two facts led to two NewsTalkStL shows: “Stories of New Americans” (interviews with immigrants to St Louis); and now “Groovy Grooves”, a trip back to the 70s with songs and sounds that you haven’t heard for years and are guaranteed to take you back and put a smile on your face.

WATCH PAST SHOWS: https://rumble.com/c/groovygrooves Groovy Grooves with Ron Klutho Saturday Nights: 10:00pm – 11:00pm Join Ron Klutho every Saturday at 10pm CT to hear songs and memories that will transport you back to a groovier place and time — the 1970s. The ’70s were the grooviest decade of all, filled with bell bottoms, smiley pins, and the Brady Bunch. The show is called Groovy Grooves because back then, music was on records with grooves and had to be played on a record player, which Ron still does. Listen to Groovy Grooves every Saturday night at 10pm CT to hear songs that you probably haven’t heard in over 50 years and will definitely put a smile on your face. About Ron Klutho Ron Klutho worked for many years teaching English as a Second Language and working in refugee ministry, so he developed an interest and appreciation for world cultures, traditions, and languages (and food!). His teenage years were in the 1970s, when things were groovy and the world made sense (at least in hindsight). Those two facts led to two NewsTalkStL shows: “Stories of New Americans” (interviews with immigrants to St Louis); and now “Groovy Grooves”, a trip back to the 70s with songs and sounds that you haven’t heard for years and are guaranteed to take you back and put a smile on your face.
