It has occurred to me that this Rockollections Show will not go on forever.

Some day, for some reason, it will end, as everything does.

So rather than wait to play particular songs in a Theme, or finding a reason to play them, I have decided to go for myself and just play them because I want to!

These are Favorites of mine encountered over the many years I've been listening to Music, and some may be just Guilty Pleasures on my part.

Included in this opening half are some… Continue

This is it, we made it, time to figuratively throw dirt on our Musical Exploration of Death In Song!

I’ll even read a Poem!

I picked the Music to end with, as I pick all the Music- I play what I want!

And I stand by what I chose, coming almost Full Circle with the last song.

This was a daring Series admittedly- risking alienating the squeamish.

The challenge, the trick, was to NOT do a Series about Death that was depressing and morbid.

Instead, make the Series… Continue

I am back with and winding down the Lighter Side of It’s Only Death, beginning with a guy who was both a Satirist and Mathematician, and appeared frequently on PBS.

A friend of mine, Clay Eals, wrote a book about Steve Goodman and had a few Song suggestions- I hadn’t thought of Steve so I went with one of them.

After that, a couple that may tickle your Memory Synapses- Motherlode and Emmitt Rhodes anyone?

Then a Half Serious/Half Fun Set to close this opening half.

One more… Continue

I’ll start this Chapter with a Song that is probably the first one I heard that had such very Upbeat Music masking a Serious Message.

We have been listening to not so terribly sad Death Songs, the premise of the Series.

And I should point out that it definitely occurred to me that the time to do a Series called It’s Only Death is when you are Alive- not much chance after, lol!

I can remember a time when we celebrated Heroes for the Right Reasons.

That’s what the Sets in here… Continue

It’s back on track for hey, It’s Only Death, lol!

Still trying to prove that contrary to popular opinion Death can be a Ball Of Laughs.

Oh alright, not always!

A couple of serious ones in here, including a song for Janis Joplin.

And a Classic piece of Rock & Roll that inspired another Classic- interestingly the latter I have never played all the way through on the show before.

Although I love it, I always felt it was overplayed, but it’s Time!

It’s Only… Continue

I am Poking The Bear, Mocking The Grim Reaper- knowing full well the Old Bastard will win in the end, lol!

What’s he going to do, come early?

Besides, there are other things to fear, as Jerry Seinfeld will inform us.

And Jack Paar will reappear.

I will have a very interesting Set in this Chapter.

I don’t want to give it away, just trust me!

To close this week, a very strange song based on a True Story.

You may never look at your dog the same way… Continue
