ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL2- COVERED BY THE BEATLES PT.1

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.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG PT.6

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.

They may not be Poets, but they could get their point…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG PT.1

Now THIS is a challenge!

And one I have been thinking about for years.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: SAX AND THE CITY PT.8

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!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: SAX AND THE CITY PT.7

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.…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: SAX AND THE CITY PT.6

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 4TH OF JULY 2018 PT.1

Once again, my failure to turn the Calendar Page, as is often the case, interrupts the Sax And The City shows.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 4TH OF JULY 2018 PT.2

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…

More Wailing Saxophone as I move through the years with Sax And The City.

He wrote and told…
