I promised something different last week, and I will go where Radio dares not!

The Theme of this New Series is Death.

Fear not, don’t shy away, I will do this with a lighthearted touch for the most part!

I am doing this…

During the break, I committed to it and ran around and got some more songs for this Secular/Spiritual show.

Shows always reflect how I am feeling, so I go with the flow whatever the reason.

Starting with a Buddhist mantra!…

This started out as an Odds And Ends Show.

I sat down, and I wanted to start with a few tracks from recent albums, beginning with a title track by Van Morrison.

I didn't play that…

Continuing with The Originals and Covers show, and this 2nd Half I was still thinking in Threes!

During the break I thought of a 3rd version of the Song I closed the First Half with.


I’ll have an Original that Elvis desperately wanted to Cover, but its lyrics were considered too racy for the general population.


Elvis…

It’s been a long time since I did any of The Originals – this is Volume 3- Songs we know very well, Originally done by other solo artists or groups.

I'll begin with the Rolling Stones- it’s so well known by them it might be considered the Original.

But it’s a…

I hope, I can be forgiven for the self promotion, but for the indy creators it's still the main, if not the only option to get noticed. (Maybe, one day Disney will see a potential in my creation and I can just concentrate on writing, but until then, I have to pimp myself.)

Anyway, my first full length comic book was picked up for publishing by Scattered…

This is it, The Grand Finale!

A big thank you to all the people who offered suggestions for Sound Effects In Song- some so good I actually used them, lol!

After a couple of random tunes, for this final Episode I again chose the Human Voice as a Sound…

More Sound Effects In Song, and a surprise for me.

I went to play a Song from an album cut I KNEW had Sound Effects on it, but they weren’t in there.

I dug out the single, played it, and there they were!

Odd, they were on…

There’s no way to describe this Musical Visit to Sound Effects, it’s a Mixed Bag.

I’ll begin with an Instrumental with Crowd Noises.

Then some Beeps maybe from the Mother Ship, lol!

After that, a random listen to some…

It’s Week 3 of Sound Effects In Song, as I try to present Our Music in different and interesting ways.

I would think some of these Songs with the Effects, not too many, may have surprised you, forgotten over time, or possibly you didn’t know they were…

These are simply the Best Sound Effects In Song I can think of in Our Music!

Next up, a Sound that can be restful and romantic, as long as you don’t have to go out in it, lol!

Tunes with the Sound Effects Of Rain!

With an…

The coming Academy Awards prompted this Series on Sound Effects In Song, even though Oscars were only given out for a very short time.

I’ll pick up where I left off last week with Sounds Of The Sea.

I have some Creaky Ships.…

Continuing a New Series on Sound Effects In Song, the next classification is Sounds Of The City!

The Academy Awards are coming March 4th.

Do you care, I don’t?

I did play a couple of Movie songs anyway.

But I found it interesting they only gave out Oscars for Sound Effects from 1963 to 1967, and again in…

This is it, the Grand Finale to our exploration of the Past Present and Future.

And I think I proved one thing- Music and Radio can offer Time Travel!

Continuing with the Past, I'll open and close this final episode with the same gentleman- a local guy born and…

Since I did them in backwards order, the Past Is Last, in these Past Present and Future shows.

To open this Chapter of the Past Present and Future, I have one for the couple of people who thought a song I played previously sounded dated.

A different singer, however it's the same song and it is from the same year!

That's what happens when you insult a group…

If you are just catching up, since the beginning of the New Year I have been playing songs about the Past Present and Future.

I started with the Future, and now we are firmly in the Present.

Or as it is also known, Today!…

I pride myself on having a large working knowledge of all things music but boy did I get an awakening last week that showed there is always so much more to learn.

Last Sunday, I was watching a playoff football game and it ended at 8pm. The next thing I planned to watch didn't start until 9pm so I planned to do a little reading and decided to use the Music Choice digital music channel for Classic Rock to accompany the turning of the pages.

Now normally that would've been the end…

Continuing happily along with this Past Present and Future Series, we are right where we belong, in the Present,

And I'll have some Musical Recommendations for Living In The Present.

Sometimes it's risky business, but we all do it.…
