ROCKOLLECTIONS: SUMMER ACTIVITIES PT.3

Good grief, when I recorded this, I didn't realize it was 92 degrees outside, so I was closer to that opening Song than I realized!

These Summer Activities will involve Shipping Out And Getting To Shore.

Then of course, Swimming- Ocean or Pool.

Bring a Towel, and give a listen!

Some good Music in here!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: SUMMER ACTIVITIES PT.2

Next stop in this Summer Activities exploration, a trip outdoors…to The Beach!

Doesn’t mean we have to do anything.

Sure you can throw beachballs, frisbees, sand, small animals, etc. or be like me and just lay there.

Or also like me, just stand there for a few minutes and leave!

Beach Parties, Names Of Beaches, Sons Of Beaches, Girl On Beach, Man On Beach, Beach Boy soundalikes, (which one doesn’t belong lol?), I got it in here.

Give a listen, you’ll have a good… Continue

ROCKOLLECTIONS: SUMMER ACTIVITIES PT.1

Making a few stops along the way in this ambitious and overrated Summer Series, this is the first Chapter of Summer Activities.

Starting with what we all look forward to- VACATION!

With the hot, sticky, sweaty, disgusting Heat and Humidity we’ve had lately, not going to work and sitting in front of air conditioning may be your simple goal.

But really no Activity is necessary, you can be lazy...it’s YOUR Vacation!

We Yanks go on Vacation, the British go on Holiday!

And I… Continue

ROCKOLLECTIONS: FREE FORM #7 PT.2

Well I picked out a song to start this Part 2, and that's all it took for my connection brain to take over, lol!

Suddenly I was scurrying around looking for songs about Tequila, you'll understand why.

It's still Free Form as long as I am picking the Music!

Have a drink for me, I gave it up long ago.

Try to just enjoy the Tunes, I don't want to get you drunk, lol!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: FREE FORM #7 PT.1

Time for a Radio Free Form Show, where I am going to try to just play Songs with no Theme.

Songs I like or have a memory for me, and music that should be heard somewhere!

There will be surprises in here so I will shut up and say no more.

But I will say there are Beatles, lol!

Join me for a listen to the opening half of Free Form Radio Show #7!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE FASHION SHOW PT.8 FINALE

This is it, wrapping up The Rockollections Fashion Show with a pretty bow and my usual flourish, lol!

It was a long journey and I thought we had Musically covered every piece of clothing.

And then it hit me...UNDERWEAR!

It will be duly noted.

After that, the scene is you are waiting for your Wife, Girlfriend, Date, whatever.

She comes out all dolled up and Takes Your Breath Away- She Looks Gorgeous!

I'll play four Songs that capture that feeling and express it in a… Continue

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE FASHION SHOW PT.7

It’s the 4th Week of The Rockollections Fashion Show, which is really only 4 Hours- not much if you consider all we wear.

I’ll begin with some Poetry On Poverty with a Coat!

Although I said No Shoes I couldn't resist playing one, but they are Boots, so a technicality, lol!

And to Truly cover you from Head To Toe, I’ve got Hats!

Now that we pretty much have a Complete and Fashionable Wardrobe, I think it’s time we went Steppin’ Out!

Give a listen, I think you'll enjoy… Continue

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 4TH OF JULY PT.2 END

It is America's 247th Birthday, on the day the Declaration Of Independence was approved and ratified, July 4th, 1776.

Older than me, but I'm pretty damned independent too!

So don't get in the way of my Freedom Of Speech, lol!

After a couple of Songs, we'll return to Stan Freberg Presents The United States Of America to hear how the Revolutionary War turns out.

Leading us into a long set of Music, because I knew if I broke in to speak I would run out of time.

Thanks for… Continue

ROCKOLLECTIONS: 4TH OF JULY PT.1

Well the 4th Of July is falling on the day of the Terrestrial Show this year.

Incidentally, if you ever wondered, July 4th, 1776 was a Thursday.

I'll start with a cut that is not easy to find by the quintessential American Group.

Then because it is the day my Rockollections Radio Show is broadcast, I thought I'd play something special, something I've never played before.

Stan Freberg Presents The United States Of America, Vol. 1, The Early Years!

In the 50's, Stan had… Continue
