It is just days away, June 21st it Officially Becomes Summertime!

Music to welcome it is what I've got here, with a few Summer Show Traditions.

Vacations are starting to be taken, maybe at your job- they are at mine.…

This is a rerun of a Show I originally did in early June 2012, so please add 7 YEARS to all dates I say- good grief, 7 YEARS, lol!

Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles was released June 1st, 1967 on the Parlophone label, 52 years and a few days ago.…

This is Part Two- I didn't feel like writing, so it's essentially the same as last time.

I am going to try it again, just play Songs with no Theme, lol!

My problem is I always think in Connections.

And I am putting Odds And Ends and Faves And Guilty Pleasures to rest, at least for a while.…

I am going to go inside, shut the door and stop Riding The Wind!

This is the Finale to this Short Series, with some Big Name Players in here!

It may not be apparent from the Nice Guy I appear to be on the Show, but I am a Contrarian, a Rebel, a…

It's Week 2 of Riding The Wind!

The arrival of Free-Form FM Radio expanded my Musical Horizons, to say the least.

And I started to collect Oldies, the Music that had come before, for a sense of History.…

I’ll start this Chapter with my favorite Fats Domino Song- oh it deals with the Wind naturally!

And since I began this Theme the Weather, while still Rainy has turned much warmer, and not very Windy at all, lol!

I’ll have an Interesting Wind…

I sat down to do an Odds & Ends Show, and wondered how I would begin.

I thought of the Weather, an Elevator Topic when you have nothing else to say, lol!

It had been Cold, Rainy and Windy for weeks, so I figured I'd do a Song for…

This is a Re-broadcast of a show originally done in late February 2011- not heard since.

In this chapter a look at how with the help of a Movie, the FIRST Rock & Roll song ever made it to the top of the Pop Charts- and not just here but all over the world.…

1. This is a Re-broadcast of a show originally done in late February 2011- not heard since.
   
   Every now and then I take on a big topic, a long series- this was one of them, and for now I will only be playing the first 2 halves.
   
   And since the…

It's all things Magic as I close out this Long Strange Trip of We Can Do Magic, make it Disappear, lol!

I didn't want to leave out Sorcerers, so a few Songs for them.

It seems Magic is all around us.…

Well I ran a helluva Race last week- and although I didn't Win or Place, I do have a Show!

As if by Wizardry, it is Magic Time!

It’s the beginning of the end for We Can Do Magic, and I’ll start off with a few you should know.

Then, if you are going to perform Magic, you need Magic Power.

And much of it can be found in Our…

The selections in this half will be more Kentucky Derby specific.

But it’s still Horses, Ponies and anything else I think of in my Free-Form way.


Related to a couple of Songs in case you didn’t know- a Mare is a Female Horse, and a Quarter Horse…

I sat down to do the Final Magic Episodes but something was nagging me.

And I remembered, Saturday is the Kentucky Derby.

It’s not often I remember in time, so Magic got bumped again.

I did a show for the…

The simple continues.

Songs we know very well, Originally done by other solo artists or groups.

And I am pretty sure I have at least a couple of surprises in this Episode.

Notice I am calling this Volume…

It's simple this time.

There are many songs we know very well, maybe were Big Hits.

And some were Originally done by other solo artists or groups.

In a lot of these cases that is a big surprise, unknown…

I’ve got a few more Miracles in this We Can Do Magic Series!

Two words more closely related in the way we use them than you may have realized.

Then it's back to Magic for some Tricks.

I wonder, when a…

The idea I got at the end of last week’s show was that this is Holy Week for millions of Christians around the world.

So why not include Miracles in We Can Do Magic?

They are different, as Miracles suggest Divine Intervention.…

We are exploring and listening to Magic Songs in this Series of Programs called We Can Do Magic.

Does Hypnosis count?

Sure!

Then some fun with Magic Places.

I…
