ROCKOLLECTIONS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY PT.3

Continuing with our celebration of ALL Birthdays Around The Calendar, I even have a song for those who don't want to be included.

Musical selections include a Happy Birthday that doesn't seem Happy, one that does, a song that captures almost all parts of my growing up by what I saw on TV, and as beautiful an interpretation of a Beatle song as you will ever hear (and remarkably it came out the same year the Beatles version…

But the one indisputable fact is that we ALL have them!

Everyday is Someone's Birthday.

So a Celebration of All Birthdays Within the Calendar Year, leaving no one out.

And I hope this is a…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL7- ODDS AND ENDS PT.1

Here's one of those every now and then Odds & Ends Shows I like to do- no Theme!

But I do seem to find some connections, lol!

For an Amy’s daughter promise, I’ll start with one of the 2 songs Elvis recorded in his first real recording session at Sun Records Studios.

Because of a very busy week, this is a true Old-Fashioned Free-Form Radio Show- whatever was sitting close to me had a chance to be played.

A…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE SUNDAY PAPERS PT.6 FINAL

This is it, gonna finish up The Sunday Papers.

To begin, from time to time it is necessary, or for chosen reasons, to give a look at the Classifieds!

After that, in every Series there are some Songs that don’t fit into any Category- I will take the opportunity to play them here.

Finally, I said weeks ago that over the course of your…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE SUNDAY PAPERS PT.5

Well at least it got colder for those Winter Morning Sunday Papers.

I got a few more Songs for the Arts & Leisure Section.

Then, I would hope most of you remember the great Steve Allen!

There was a bit he did where he read Actual Letters To The Editor from the NY Daily News, always angry ones.

The Humor was in Steve’s reading them with the mad passion and…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE SUNDAY PAPERS PT.4

The next part of the Sunday Papers we may choose is frequently more of a daydreaming, window-shopping one, the Travel Section.

All those places we wish we could go to!

I’ll have a nice Mixed Bag of Music, including a song that mentions every form of Transportation imaginable, and by a surprising Artist.

Let’s Go Away For A While!

Next, a fun Section that I will continue with next week- Arts And…
