ROCKOLLECTIONS: TIME PT.10

This may be the longest Series on Time In Rock & Roll ever done.

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'll have a short, beautiful, tricky tongue twister from the Mamas & Papas, and it took some Time for them to get it right.

People forget how important and experimental the Mamas &…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: TIME PT.9

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.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VALENTINES DAY 2016 PT.2

This St. Valentine’s Day Edition continues with a solo song from a member of a famous Trio to start.

Then I went to the Oldies Box for a few.

After that, I'll have a Song I've been wanting to play for you for years, but never seemed to remember it.

It's a Love Lost I first heard in 1997, another achingly beautiful one!

For it, I wandered around the Music Library picking out Love Songs.

Songs I like- some more strongly than others- but this is not my Greatest Love Songs Of All Time countdown, lol!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: TIME PT.8

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 two.

Then, while doing this Series I have discovered how frequently the word Time appears in writing and conversation.

And even more so in our minds, in that instant we wonder, before looking, What Time Is It?

Those are the…
