ROCKOLLECTIONS: HALLOWEEN 2014 PT.2 END

I did Voodoo, now let's have some Hoodoo!

And again, with all those spells, curses, etc. that we've been concerned with, I must warn you to watch out for Potions.

Do I believe in this stuff?

NO!!!

But the mind is a funny thing!

Trick Or Treat and Happy Halloween everybody!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: HALLOWEEN 2014 PT.1

It’s that scary time of the year again, Halloween.

And time for a Rockollections Theme within a Theme.

Voodoo!

With all the casting spells, curses, dances and everything else that goes with Voodoo.

Always for a good reason of course, lol!

I will bounce through Decades and Genres for the Music in here.

Please join me!

I don't want to be alone,…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL2-FAVORITES AND GUILTY PLEASURES PT.2

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, lol!

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

Certainly it didn't affect the Music any, I think it's better than Part One.

So while I may not have felt Pleasurable, I have nothing to feel Guilty…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL2-FAVORITES AND GUILTY PLEASURES PT.1

It's another outing where I play Songs I like just because I want to- no Theme!

I need the rest- that Baseball Series overworked my brain, lol!

Because of Today's Radio playing or having played the same songs to death, I tend to have Favorites that are more obscure than the Hits.

At any rate, Come On In, sit anywhere, just don't leave any fluids!

And give a listen, I have some Songs to share with…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: PLAY BALL PT.6 CONCLUSION

It's the 9th Inning, the Grand Finale to the Series, and I am expecting a Walk-Off Home Run, lol!

A couple of thoughts- Willie Mays was the BEST player I ever saw, and when asked a Baseball question of any sort and you don't know the answer, say Babe Ruth.

He was so great, no matter the question, you have a 50-50 chance!

I'll have lyrics you probably haven't heard to a song you know well, a song about honor and the right…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: PLAY BALL PT.5

Let's Keep The Ball Rolling in Fair Territory for this Salute To Baseball with this next-to-final Half.

It is Week 3, and 3 is a big number in Baseball, as well as in another institution, and we will briefly explore the Spiritual Side of Baseball.

When you make your first visit to a Major League Ballpark there is nothing that prepares you for it.

You are initially struck by the colors- a beautiful orange and green that…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: PLAY BALL PT.4

It is now an Official Game, so even if it rains it counts, lol!

There is a local flavor to this Rockollections Episode.

But not exclusively.

I know I am surprising a good amount of people who never realized how many songs there are about Baseball.

I myself have known it for years, and why I have always wanted to do this Play Ball Series.

Which is just a long winded way of saying this Series will continue, but end,…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: PLAY BALL PT.3

Welcome to Week 2, I figure we are about in the Bottom of the Third Inning or Top of the Fourth now.

Continuing with this Salute To Baseball, the song most commonly connected with the Sport is Take Me Out To The Ballgame.

I will!

But there is an interesting history behind that song.

For instance, the guy who wrote it had never seen a Major League Baseball game- and didn't for another 33 years!

It's Folk, Rock…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: PLAY BALL PT.2

It's the Second Inning- no score, nobody on and nobody out!

We continue with Baseball, which has long been called Our National Pastime, but probably isn't anymore.

Sex is still a Popular Sport though, and we'll listen to a trick that has always worked for me, lol!

You'll hear about my Love/Hate Relationship with Baseball....like you care!

Then it's a Musical Look at some Centerfielders

It's amazing to think that…
