ROCKOLLECTIONS: 4TH OF JULY 2013 PT.1

[Mike Pell]

We are just days away from Independence Day...or the 4th Of July for those who haven't connected them!

Alright, enough of that- I'll save my rowdy ways for Part Two, in this here Part One I am nice.

This show will be broadcast terrestrially July 2nd.

Last year it was on July 3rd.

How is it that I am moving backward in time, lol?

I have mentioned before that Engineer Ken Stanley and I were always reluctant to play very LONG Songs when I used to go to the station.

The suits left us alone, and we didn't want to draw attention to ourselves.

But Ken has left to frolic in the woods, and I am alone picking the Music at home.

So in BOTH halves expect to hear a lengthy track.

And as always, I try to present these Rockollections shows with a slightly different look at things.

Hopefully, that works out to a surprise or two for you.

Tell you one thing, that Long Cut in here is very appropriate for this Holiday Calendar, and used to get a LOT of airplay back in the Free-Form FM Radio days.

Enjoy!

Here are the links to listen, have a hot dog and a beer and wave the Flag, at Mike Pell Rockollections:

Hamilton Camp" Did not know that. He was in a ton of stuff, a lot of B movies as well, like "Evilspeak", just a classic movie in it's own right. Of course, he was on a few episodes of the classic "WKRP In Cincinnati" so he has that going for him. Or did have that going for him. He played a good smarmy jerk. Yes did a cover of that same song too, in case you didn't know.

Wait...NO BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE??? Nice! And the Hollies covered BRUUUUUUUUUUUUCE? Didn't know that. Don't care, but still didn't know that.

Hey, that was the first Chicago album I ever owned. Still love that album, especially the killer opening track "A Hit By Varese". Heyll, the whole album is fantastic, I overplayed both "Dialogues" when I was a wee ine, that song just stuck with me back then.

A couple months ago I picked up 6 CCR albums, all with the 20k remastering. I have a few every now and then throughout the years, but found a good deal on their cd's so splurged. B8ut I'm wondering if you have Chronicles 1 &2 if you would already have all their studio albums. I dunno, but you have plenty of spare time so maybe you can research that? Thanks!

Don't believe I heard that Van Morrison song on the radio back in '72. Were you on drugs then and maybe just THINK you heard it? Or maybe I wasn't listening the radio in '72. Either way, it was a fantastic song.

Great show, especially with no BRUUUUUUCE. Of course he'll probably be rammed down my throat on Part 2, but I'll always have this show to fondly look back on. Such is life.
