ROCKOLLECTIONS: PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE PT.3

It is early in the year, and my musical look at the Past, Present and Future rolls along, just like real life.

A couple of songs about the Future to begin, then one that you will surely know, that sounds like it should be about the Future, just by its title alone.

In fact, the song celebrates the Present- and is the opening tune…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: NEW YEAR 2018 PT.2

The New Year is fast approaching, and did I say Happy New Year?

ROCKOLLECTIONS: NEW YEAR 2018 PT.1

The New Year 2018 is upon us, breathing down our necks.

I’ll start with a song that I’ve heard for years but never knew the correct title of, and that may be true for you too.

It has always made me think Party though!

After that, the Usual Suspects- New Years Eve, Counting Down, Years Gone and…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 60'S CHRISTMAS 2017 PT.1

It is time for the Annual Two-Week Rockollections Christmas Party, a little early this year but blame the calendar.

As I did in 2015, the Theme Within A Theme for this first week is the 1960’s- all songs played will be from the 60’s, except for the ones I fouled up, lol!

It was snowing when I awoke and did this show, that explains the…

It’s Namedropping Songs, and I enjoy these shows because I get to point out some things you may have never heard or noticed.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL3- NAMEDROPPING PT.1

It’s Namedropping time again, let’s call it Vol.3.

The Dictionary Definition is, “To mention casually the names of illustrious or famous people in order to imply that one is on familiar terms with them. It is intended as a means of self-promotion.”

You'll easily know what I mean after a few songs.

Know what annoys me and maybe you…

It’s The 60's Poets, and their Thoughts and Stories About War And Peace.
