I'll finish that album, With The Beatles, right away.
I still can't get over the fact that album was released on the day President Kennedy was assassinated!
Then I'll move on to what was the cause of much confusion and many differences over here in the…

Here's a now-and-then series I started in February 2011, Covered By The Beatles.
As you should be aware, the Beatles put many older Rock & Roll songs, mainly from America, on their early albums and EP's.
So the simple idea is to play the Beatles Cover Version…

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...it wasn't me, lol!
The House We Have Built Is Completed And Is Home!
It may have its imperfections,…

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;
And also, while I thought it would be…

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 point…

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 want to use it, lol!
Then it is on…

I’ll start this Chapter with a Cover Song that did better on the Charts than the Original, and a Sax in there you may have forgotten.
Sax And The City moves on with an unusual Instrumental co-written by the unlikely pairing of Duane Eddy and Ravi Shankar!
Really,…

We interrupt the House Building to return to Sax And The City, lol!
I was filling in Time, and I will return to that Housebuilding Theme as well.
Time is Precious- just ask Van The Man!

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 Bathroom!…

Well, we have made great progress in the last week with Building A House.
Since you build from the bottom up, we are putting the Finishing Touches on the Roof.
And I will be getting serious on you with some of the Song Selections.…

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?
Location...Location...Location...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 truly do…

I’ll start this Chapter with a Suggested Song.
And even for Rockollections or Sax And The City, there are suggestions, and there are those that carry a certain weight, lol!
Then a trip back in time for some surprises with Sneaky Sax Songs- you may not have paid…

It’s Sax And The City, with Songs that prominently contain or feature Saxophone.
I have spoken before about how I place a great emphasis on Songs that Begin and End Series- it’s a chance to set the mood and/or close by saying something via the Western Union Telegram that is Music.…

In the previous Chapter, I said this is right where I want to be.
It’s a nice diversion as Sax And The City Grooves Into Jazz.
Including my favorite Jazz Song, which 2 years after its release, became the Biggest Selling Jazz Single Ever!…

Sax And The City returns after a week off so I could plead the 4th!
This is trouble- between me thinking of more Sax songs and people making better suggestions than they ever have, this Series may never end, lol!
Hence the sense of Urgency to get…

Once again, my failure to turn the Calendar Page, as is often the case, interrupts the Sax And The City shows.
At the last moment, I discovered we are just days away from the 4th Of July- in other words it's Almost Independence Day!
And I was feeling particularly…

It is America's 242nd Birthday, the day the Declaration Of Independence was approved and ratified, July 4th, 1776.
Older than me, but I'm pretty damned independent too!
The firing of cannons and muskets accompanied the first public readings of the Declaration, so Fireworks have been a part of the 4th since the beginning.
Hang…

The Amazing Sound Of The Saxophone is what we are listening to in Sax And The City.
And now we come to The Greatest Band That Ever Existed, always a good idea in any Musical Endeavor.
They have any Sax in their songs?

More Wailing Saxophone as I move through the years with Sax And The City.
I replayed a Song from last week because I talked over it, it was necessary as I was running short of time- but it was the only 45 RPM a guy's father ever bought.
He wrote and told…
