| One of the things that makes Thunder Over
Louisville so magical each year is the soundtrack
broadcast from the Waterfront Chow Wagon sound
system and on Clear Channel Radio stations during
the fireworks show. The shells seem to dance along
to the beat of each score. For 28 minutes each year,
fans are treated to a broad range of music from
urban contemporary and pop to country, rock'n 'roll,
Broadway show tunes and just about anything
recorded!
Says Wayne Hettinger, Thunder Show Producer, "We
try to fill the soundtrack with a little something
for everyone. What's interesting is that everyone
hearing the show has a different personal connection
with particular songs and you can see it in their
reaction to the different cuts of music. Each song
means a little something different to each person."
And what would Thunder be without a sense of
patriotism? A number of patriotic American songs
will also be included as a salute to our great
nation and the values upon which she was founded.
Says KDF VP of Events, Matt Gibson, "This is one soundtrack
you don't want to miss. If you're not in earshot of the many
thunder sound towers throughout the venue, make sure you have
your radio tuned to Lite 106.9 WVEZ. This is a show
you'll want to feel, see and HEAR!"
