As the 4th Of July fast approaches, I'll go off on a mini-rant on Patriotism.
What the hell happened to it?
This country has done more good in the world than any other.
And continues to do so.…

This is it, the Closer for Building A House With Song.
And I am still blaming that other guy, that Jack guy.
HE did it...I told you...it wasn't me, lol!
The House We Have Built Is Completed And Is Home!
It may have its imperfections, but so do People.
But it is People That Make The House, none of that other small stuff matters.
Plus Home is a place of comfort and safety, a Fortress Of Solitude for us- where we…

It is time to close it all out, and this is Part One of the last two Episodes.
The House We Have Built Has Become A Home!
There are a couple of things I discovered doing this Building A House With Song Series:
First, this was tougher than I expected;…

While I was listening to the songs I was playing in the first half hour of this show, I thought of a couple of Oldies that might also fit that mini-topic.
So at the break, I ran over and picked out a couple.
They may not be Poets, but they could get their…

I will start this Chapter with a song about something a few people wrote me and suggested we should have.
Hint: it is built to be outside.
Don't really know why we need one, I wouldn't use it, lol!…

The Roof is finished, and we included an Attic while we were up there.
Building A House With Song, now it is time to start filling in this Shell of a Structure with Rooms.
And one Room that at various times is VERY important is a…

Well, we have made great progress in the last week with Building A House.
As I said at the top of the show, maybe it's because that NSA Invasion Of Our Privacy has made people cut down on their interfering Phone Calls to me.
I can get some damn work done, lol!
Since you build from the bottom up, we are putting the…

I am attempting to Build A House With Song, and it seems the next logical step would be...well, what is it that Real Estate people say?
It's time for Choosing A Location.
Let's look around- maybe a House In The…

Now THIS is a challenge!
And one I have been thinking about for years.
To try and take Music and use it to Build A House!
While I always knew how I would begin, and a few stops along the way, with this Series I…

To open this 4th and concluding Chapter from 2007, I have a few words to say about my man Steve Allen that I didn't have time for before the break.
Then it's off to perhaps the most famous tongue-twisting bit ever on the Tonight Show.
Did you know that…

Again I remind you that these shows were originally broadcast in 2007.
And again, add 6 years to whatever I say- for example if I say 20 years, it is now 26 years.
In these final two chapters, you will hear more Johnny Carson.
In 1972 the Tonight Show moved…

Please remember that these shows were originally broadcast in 2007.
That was before Conan O'Brien's brief turn as Host of the Tonight Show
Also add 6 years to whatever I say- for example if I say 15 years, it is now 21…

This is the first Chapter of two weeks of shows I did back in 2007- so to everything I say, please add 6 years, lol!
It is a significant short Series to ME, because Engineer Ken Stanley and I were increasingly moving away from those Featured Artists shows, where you just bring in a couple of Greatest Hits CD's or albums (anyone can do that!), and…

I am going to start off the last half of this National Train Day show with a little something that, if you are of a certain age, will have your memory whirring.And all in keeping technically within our Theme.
After that, as I so often do to get the blood flowing to my…

It is understandable if you missed National Train Day this past Saturday, what with Mothers Day being Sunday and far more important.
Hell, I am even late by a few days with this show, lol!
Some background- National Train Day is a holiday…

This is it, the Last Chapter of our big look at Spring and some of the things that come with it.
And of course, it would be incomplete without a nod to those Green Thumb Folks who anxiously wait for Spring to get out into their Garden.
After a brief trip back to my Folk Music…

Has Spring Sprung?
That is a real question not only here in the still unseasonably cool East, but all across the country- some States are still getting Snow!
But I am not complaining, mind you, lol!
Spring will go on, but I have to stop this Series sometime, so this is the first of the last two Chapters.
We have firmly established a link between Spring and Love, and I will continue with some of that.
I'll have some…

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 a place beyond the Derby, where nobody bets on the ponies- into a world of dreams and magic for a ride on and with the Pony Man.…
