ROCKOLLECTIONS: 1967 AND SUMMER OF LOVE PT.12

Having done that show for the 45th Anniversary of Sgt. Pepper, I have been avoiding the Beatles in this 1967 And The Summer Of Lover series.

I cannot any longer, as one of the year's highlights took place June 25, 1967, on LIVE Television.

Anyone who saw it will never forget…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: CHUCK BERRY PT.1

This show started out as an Odds And Ends one.

The first two songs are evidence of that, having to do with my Vacation.

And having recently listened to the latest and last new Chuck Berry album "Chuck", I played a cut from it next and that was all it took.

Lights and sirens…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BLUE AND LONESOME PT.3

I’ll pick it up where we left off last week with Track 9 of the latest Rolling Stones album, Blue And Lonesome.
