Sounding Of “Taps”
Airtime: Monday, May 27, 8:15 pm ET
Rebroadcasts: May 27, 9:15 pm, 10:15 pm, 10:50 pm, 11:40 pm ET
Once the first three notes of “Taps” are heard, it is recognized anywhere in the world. As the call is sounded in the evening, it tells the soldier everything is safe, there are guards on duty, and all is secure. SiriusXM and 40s on 4 will honor those who served our Armed Forces with a moment of silence and a solemn playing of this respectful call of remembrance. World renown bugler Master Sergeant Jari Villanueva performs at sunset (approximated) in each time zone* on Memorial Day. *Note: Most SiriusXM stations will also observe the playing of Taps at 12 pm ET.
AT 40 Memorial Day 1977
* * * * **
Saturday 5/25 12 pm ET
It’s Memorial Day Weekend, 1977. Drive-Ins and cinemas are filled by two blockbusters opening that weekend: ‘Smokey & The Bandit’ starring sex symbol Burt Reynolds in a CB crazed Trans-Am fueled plot, and just released on Wednesday; ‘Star Wars’ has the sci-fi fanatics so crazed, they’re sitting through multiple screenings. On the beach they’re reading a new Colleen McCullough bestseller about the Cleary family in the Australian outback called ‘The Thorn Birds’. Those that are staying indoors are watching Laverne & Shirley, Happy Days, and Three’s Company on the boob tube. And according to American Top 40 historian and author Pete Battistini at at40book.com, there’s a slip up. Someone forgets to put in the radio friendly edit of ‘Life In The Fast Lane’ during the AT40 countdown and the line ‘…haven’t seen a g&d d@$% thing’ airs on over 400 stations around the USA. Cover your ears kids…here it comes! We’re airing it this weekend, so enjoy the SiriusXM Sounds Of Summer! (2 hrs, 15 min) Bonus Air Time:*Monday 5/27 3 pm ET
