It’s very near Valentine’s Day, and I am celebrating it, Sweet Little Devil that I am, lol!

I’ve got a very good opening set of Words Sung, that will definitely be Spoken in the next couple of days!

When you stop and think about it, for all the…

Hopeless romantic that I am, I thought I would take a brief detour from the Circles and spend some time with Valentine’s Day.

In fact I am going to bend that Circle, In The Shape Of A Heart!

Valentine’s Day is imminent, and if you don’t know…

I haven’t played any Songs with Circles in the titles yet, I thought I’d save them for the Closing Chapters of this Series.

Whenever that may be, it’s my call- I’ll know when I’ve pushed it far enough, lol!

But I’ll make an exception with…

No Show last week, I was too busy with other business.

Since the New Year it has been a Circles Theme.

And you may feel like a Spinning Top,

But there are a lot of places we can go with…

I said at the break I’d lay down on the couch, and the expected happened.

I fell asleep until the Alarm woke me up, lol!

Which brings us to our next stop along the way for Things That Go Around Go In Circles- The Clock!…

Inspired by the New Year that Circles around with Days, Weeks, Months, Seasons and of course Years, I am Rolling Around with Circles!

Rolling Around Every Corner!

What Goes Around Comes Around, and in this severe NYC Cold we can use some Love…

It’s a New Year and a New Series, with Circles!

Now where was I?

Oh I remember, the World Turning.

After that, one of my Favorite Things That Goes Round & Round!…

Hey, did you know the Earth rotates- spins Around in a Circle to make a Day?

And not only that, but Circles The Sun to make a New Year- why wasn’t I informed, lol?

Well that Circling to make New Days and New Years was the inspiration for a new…

I did this second half of the show the next day after the first, and boy did I feel lousy- what a difference a day makes.

I wouldn't have finished it if I hadn't started it!

But frankly, the show kept me going, made me feel a little…

Here is an outing where I play Songs I like just because I want to- no Theme!

I need the rest- the Holidays are rough, lol!

Because Today's Radio plays the same songs to death, I tend to have Favorites that are more obscure than the…

Happy New Year!!!

As one who's been there, I am going to REALLY get into curing a Hangover!

You may scoff at the Last Resort...start drinking again... but it does work, lol!

Otherwise grab a hot coffee…

Well if Christmas falls on the day of the show, you know New Year's Day will also, lol!

A little Auld Lang Syne to get us started.

Then, just WHAT happened last night New Year's Eve?

Let's retrace our steps to…

Here it is, the Final Stretch of this year's Christmas, with the quirk of the calendar having it fall on the day of the show.

I will continue with Music for our Guaranteed White Christmas.

Then after feeling I fulfilled my promise, and hopefully…

For only the third time ever, Rockollections will be broadcast terrestrially on the actual Christmas Day itself this Tuesday!

And that of course called for Something Special.

You have the opportunity to hear the show before it goes out on the…

Continuing on with our all-inclusive Christmas Party where Everybody is invited, some more of the Traditions associated with the show.

Beginning with the Dreaded Christmas Oldie, which I will thankfully not play in its entirety.

I couldn't subject…

The Annual Rockollections Christmas Party is here again.

I played it back a few days after recording it, and I have to say it is one of the strangest I have ever done, lol!

It seems as if the Party was taken over by someone else...and the prime…

I am playing Rock & Roll Mister Songs through the years.

Let's do some British, beginning with the Greatest Group That Ever Existed!

Naturally after that, some American Music is called for.

And I will…

An Acoustic Guitar, what could that mean?

It means I am turning the Mister Songs over to the Folk and Folk Rock Folk for this first half of the show.

The usual collection of songs some will know and some won't, although I would be greatly…

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 Take…
