It's not often these things fall on the day of the show, so I will take full advantage of it.

You will most certainly know it is Valentine's Day by the time I am finished, lol!

For me, the centerpiece of this Chapter is a set of music I thought…

This is it, the Final Chapter- The End Of Time!

Just think, the Series was inspired by, and started, around the New Year!

And what a long strange Trip it's been.

I have said before I…

Sure it's a melodramatic Title, but it's the beginning of the End for one of the Longest Series I've ever done- on Time!

And it's Time to put it to bed!

These Songs are not at all Leftovers, they are as valid and good as anything that came…

It's a Series on Time In Rock & Roll, and a long one.

I'll start with a Song I stole a line from on a date, then a couple it's about Time I played.

After that, Time And Place- those Wrong And Right Times And Places!…

I am back on the Time Wagon- great thing about it is you can jump on any Time, it's always running!

This Time, a Look and Listen to the 2 biggest complaints about Time- Waiting and Not Having Enough Time.

As things turn out though, properly used…

It’s an Odds & Ends Show, Volume 8 if you’re keeping score.

I’ll start with a bit more remembering some of the Rock & Rollers we've lost, some Household Names, some not.

Then I will make a sharp turn, shake things up!…

Here's one of those every now and then Odds And Ends Shows I like to do- no Theme- but a Theme invariably takes shape!

I started with a small acknowledgement of Sgt. Pepper and sure enough a Theme took shape.

A sort of Memorial for some of the…

Fairy Tales, what do they have to do with Time?

Well most if not all begin with, "Once Upon A Time...!"

How many Songs can you think of that have that as their Opening Lyrics?

I thought of…

This lengthy Musical Look at Time moves on.

And what better measurement of Time is there than the Clock?

That’s our starting point for this Chapter, along with the Good Times and the Bad Times!

Plus…

There are so many songs in our Music on the subject of Time- and this extensive listen to them is guided only by my own Free-Form, varied tastes.

We heard those Long Time Songs, not always happy, so let's have some Good Times tunes.

Let Them…

It's Rock & Roll...Time!

See if you can guess who sings the opening song- doesn't sound like himself.'

Then a couple of voices you will surely know.

Which will tip us toward Long…

The main topic of this Episode has been around since people have had emotions and walked the Earth.

That Combination Of Love and Time!

Then it's no secret I think in Connections with these Shows- sometimes so right out there you can almost see…

Time Marches On, and so do I with this First Show of the New Year!

Time and More Time Music!

How many Times have we been told Time Is Fleeting, the Seconds Fly By?

So that is another focus of this…

The New Year is the inspiration for this Series, a Musical Look At Time.

And it's been a long Time coming!

Time is Precious and is always Speeding Past, I'll make a note of that

Plus how to make the best…

For the Last Show of the Old Year, a few songs for the Turning Of The New Year.

The Passage of Time.

Life is pretty much all about Time!

We look at Time with a mixture of happiness and…

Proving the Party is all-inclusive, I'll open this final episode with a song for Hanukkah.

Then Songs Of Joy, and some Carols that we don't get to hear.

It seems the British are the ones keeping these songs from prior Centuries…

It's getting more and more Christmasey as Time and the Party roll on.

Is Christmasey a word?

Not sure, but it's the name of a Song.

Been tough getting around the city with all the hustle and bustle of…

We begin this 2nd half with a song that is not a Christmas song at all.

But so Joyous it seemed right to play.

Then a quick switch, with a song by Tracy Newman and the Reinforcements that made Dolly Parton cry!…

When I started to do this show, it occurred to me that it was at Christmastime in 2009 when I launched the official name change to Rockollections, complete with a new theme song.

I was never happy with that old name Rock Lives, and I wasn’t the one who picked it.…

If George was the Quiet One, John Lennon had to be the Loud One.

Dec. 8th is the anniversary of John's death.

I don’t like to play the same stuff as everybody else.

So while I will play Imagine, it’s…
