ROCKOLLECTIONS: SALUTE TO RADIO- RADIO BEGINS

It's A Salute To Radio, marking my 15th Anniversary in a few weeks of doing a regular weekly show at the same Radio Station!

I did something similar to this 5 years ago for the 10th Anniversary.

In actual fact, I started there on August 25, 1998 as a Fill-In guy, but by October 20th 1998 I had The Rock Show, so that's why I am doing…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BOND...JAMES BOND PT.2 END

It's time I mentioned Ian Fleming, the author of the novels and stories the Bond Industry has been built on.

I read many of them, and Sean Connery was always the man I visualized as James Bond.…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL.I- RETURN TO 1967 PT.2 END

Here's the 2nd half of a Return To The Summer Of Love or at least 1967, which I will do periodically.

This is a very good episode, with things you may not have ever heard or thought of in quite some time- and again, an authentic…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL.I- RETURN TO 1967 PT.1

I thought for the Last Official Week Of Summer 2013, a Return To The Summer Of Love might be in order.

As I have said before, 1967 is my favorite year for what was breaking out all over the place in Music, and also…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 9/11 NEW YORK SONGS PT.2 END

Over the years for September 11th, I have explained that although the Pentagon was struck, songs about Washington D.C. are not many, and the ones you do come across are always about the government- usually with some sort of protest or humor.

Then there is United 93,…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BACK TO BACK TO SCHOOL PT.2 END

I am going to open up this last half of Back To Back To School with a question.

A question regarding Teachers who use propaganda to brainwash kids, and although the song is from 1964, the situation has never been worse than it is today.

Then it is on to how maybe the reason I hated school was because when you think about it, the whole day for a kid revolves around it, and being told what to do.

So quickly the Rebel comes…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BACK TO BACK TO SCHOOL PT.1

This was the 3rd week's show in a Series I was doing before I was so rudely interrupted in September 2009.

Never one to waste an idea, I had added songs by 2010, and a different time in free-form radio brings different results.

NO songs from 2009 will be repeated- all distinct selections for this 2010!

It is that most awful time of year again, resulting in going Back To Back To School,…
