ROCKOLLECTIONS: BLACKOUTS PT.4 CONCLUSION

First off, a very Happy Hannukah to all for whom that applies!

Time to wrap up this short series on Blackouts.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BLACKOUTS PT.3

Got two more parts on Blackouts- apparently I haven't seen the Light yet, lol!

Looking back at the one in 2003- the one I enjoyed least of all- the last I heard about it was that it originated from Somewhere In Ohio.

Had something to do with an…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BLACKOUTS PT.2

As I have stated, here in the Northeast we have had major Blackouts in 1965, 1977 and 2003.

In each case, and for the future, there are certain essentials you should have.

But there was one always dependable, vital, irreplaceable item you HAVE to…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BLACKOUTS PT.1

I'll be taking a lighter approach than the Hurricane with this look at Blackouts that have hit New York City and the Northeast over the years.

Not counting the smaller scale that still exists in some areas here, we have had Blackouts in 1965, 1977 and 2003.

I…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HURRICANES PT.4

Another look at some of the destruction caused by Hurricane Sandy here in New York City, but the American Flags kept flying in certain neighborhoods.

I got to thinking of other Hurricanes, and the resulting Floods, etc.

So I thought I'd play a couple of songs…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HURRICANES PT.3

First off, I have to thank my friends Patrick and Laurie for having those old Thanksgiving and Autumn Shows from 2011.

And for being beyond thoughtful, and nice enough to send them to me.

I guess just about everyone has heard of New York's Times…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HOME FOR THANKSGIVING 2012 PT.2 END

I don't mind telling you that getting this 2nd half out there was a huge pain in the butt.

While I am Thankful for so MANY things...computers are NOT necesarily one of them!

Ah, but that's a nice looking Turkey!…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HOME FOR THANKSGIVING 2012 PT.1

It's time again for the annual trip Home For Thanksgiving- the most heavily traveled time of year in the United States.

I try not to repeat songs each year, so I thought I'd listen to last year's show just to hear what I played.

To my surprise, I seem to have…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HURRICANES AND BLACKOUTS PT.2

We continue with this musical Reflection on Hurricane Sandy.

Having given it some thought, I am the type of person would who would probably NOT evacuate my home if the authorities told me to do so before or during a Hurricane.

I have said before that I am never more relaxed than when the microphone is on.

And if I give the impression that I am a nice, sweet guy...it is an act...unintentional... but an act!

At all…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HURRICANES AND BLACKOUTS PT.1

It has been a strange couple of weeks, and there are many people still without electricity, heat and hot water- and demanding answers.

The best way for me to get away from all the madness is to get lost in the Music.

So that's what I did, and these first shows…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE NYC MARATHON PT.2 END

This musical NYC Marathon is at the 13 mile mark, so the Race is either half over or there is still half to go- kind of like that old glass of water and its fullness, lol!

There are many reasons to Run, and we'll open with the most important I can think of.…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE NYC MARATHON PT.1

No Halloween show again this year, but there are plenty of places to hear those Holiday songs.

I don't know how long I will be doing this Radio thing, so instead I will go with a show I have wanted to do for years.

There has always been a clash with Halloween…

We continue with the Rockollections Fall Fashion Show with Shoes.

It's strange, but no matter how minor or innocuous some Theme Shows and Series are- and this certainly is not in any way profound- there are always serious songs within that Theme.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: FALL FASHION SHOW - SHOES PT.1

Being your average guy with important things on my mind like the Baseball season winding down, Football starting up, and Hockey on the horizon, those big deal Fall Fashion Shows always come and go...THEN I find out about them.

Is is too much to ask that they be held in the FALL so I might at least think of them in time,…
