Grab your shades and ditch the heavy coat—the Bo-Hosts may be freezing in the Great White North, but they're turning up the heat by taking a sonic vacation back to 2006 as they deep-dive into another one of Sammy’s career re-defining masterpieces, Livin’ It Up!

The Bo-Hosts break down the track-list, compare contrasts & similarities to DLR's Crazy from The Heat, and discuss how the breezy, "Cabo Wabo" lifestyle vibe was the perfect palate cleanser after Sammy’s turbulent final years in Van Halen.

Which songs belong on your beach bum playlist and which ones belong in the cooler? Grab your Sammy libation of choice and join the Bo-Hosts for 45 mins of palm trees, flip flops, and tequila-talk that will have you livin' on the coastline so fast, you'll forget the frostbite!

Kick-off those worn-out shoes, let your hair down and pour yourself some lite roast, because the Bo-Hosts welcome you to: Sammy Sunday Mornings!

The "BONUS OTIS" mini-episodes are bite-size and focus on the mellower side of the RedRocker's catalog!

This time, we feature Sammy's first solo retail single, Flamingos Fly, from his first solo album, 1976's Nine on a Ten Scale.

Flamingos Fly was "gifted" to Sammy from Van Morrison, as Hagar and Morrison were both recording at the same studio (The Record Plant) at the same time. Morrison liked Hagar’s voice and essentially "gifted" him the song. While Van Morrison wrote the lyrics, Sammy’s choice to record them as his first solo statement feels prophetic in that the song is drenched in imagery of the Cabo Wabo lifestyle long before it existed, almost like this song was the subconscious - or conscious- blueprint for his "Billionaire Beach Bum" persona.

Come to think of it, did Sammy hit upon this lifestyle vibe before Buffet? Buffet only became recognized for his "island escapism" persona" following the release of the song "Margaritaville" in 1977, a full year after 1976's Nine on a Ten Scale! Also, if you listen to Van Morrison's version (released in 1977), it sounds wayyyy different!

Ponder that as you enjoy a lazy, hazy Sammy Sunday!

The "BONUS OTIS" mini-episodes are bite-size and focus on the mellower side of the RedRocker's catalog!

This time, we feature the acoustic lullaby "Inner Child", a track Sammy first revealed during a live solo performance on Dan Rather’s AXS TV program, The Big Interview, in February 2016. Sammy wrote the song following a family retreat where he gained deep insights into how his children viewed their parents. It's a hidden gem that's hard to find as it was only released as a digital single on Feb. 25 2016 and has since vanished. Sammy describes the track as "very deep," dealing with his own upbringing, his children, and his grandchildren.

Enjoy a lazy, hazy Sammy Sunday!
