ROCKOLLECTIONS: ROCKERS IN THE MILITARY PT.2 END

A little History about this coming weekend. Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance for those who have died in our nation’s service. The Day is not about division. It is about reconciliation; it is about coming together to honor those who gave their all. In my attempt

ROCKOLLECTIONS: IN SPRING, IT’S MATTERS OF THE HEART PT.2 END

I don’t know if you noticed, but back when I did this show I had far more vinyl records than CD’s. And listening to it now I can tell we played at least as many of those wonderful warm records- if not more- than those cold, fidelity-challenged compact discs, lol! It’s all Heart songs again, with mor

ROCKOLLECTIONS: IN SPRING, IT’S MATTERS OF THE HEART PT.1

Keeping it honest, this is an old show that for some reason I never put out for listening. I remember that they wanted me to talk more back in those days, which didn’t bother me as long as I could pick any songs I wanted to play without interference. As it still is! What I am titling this [...]

ROCKOLLECTIONS: JUST LET IT RAIN PT.8 CONCLUSION

Well this is it, at long last the Finale- until I get the itch to do Rain again someday. By the way, it was pouring outside the morning I did this chapter. I was losing myself in the Music and feeling comfortable again. I knew weeks ago what song I would end this series with, so it was [...]

ROCKOLLECTIONS: JUST LET IT RAIN PT.7

So much for my preventing Rain with this series, It has been raining or threatening to, virtually every day since I opened my mouth about it. This is the next-to-last episode, and not because I am running out of Rain songs. In fact, I have so many left over, I decided this would be a Kitchen Sink pr

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE KENTUCKY DERBY PT.2 END

As we conclude our musical Kentucky Derby, I know a horse I would bet on but he is for a very good reason not on the field, not a contender. Then I’ll play a couple of songs that are not only about Horses, but RACEhorses! After that, just for kicks let’s become children again, and go to [...]

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE KENTUCKY DERBY PT.1

Well it only took many years, but I finally realized in time to do something about it! A show that has been bouncing around in my head for all those years, dedicated to the Kentucky Derby. Because the only 2 vices I have avoided in my life are gambling and drugs, I never bet the ponies or [...]

ROCKOLLECTIONS: APRIL SHOWERS- LET IT RAIN PT.6

When I was recording this second half of the show, it actually was RAINING! A real downpour- the kind you want to walk in…well, maybe not, lol! And April Showers has since been living up to its name. I had decided to go Folk in this chapter beforehand, and that Sweet Rain made it so much more enjoya

ROCKOLLECTIONS: APRIL SHOWERS- LET IT RAIN PT.5

Somebody help me! For the past two weeks I have been caught in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, watching 2, 3, 4, sometimes 5 games in a day- tough, nasty, mesmerizing old-time Hockey the way I like it, lol! Where’s that been the last bunch of years? So I am behind on everything, those damn intrusions of l
