ROCKOLLECTIONS: CALL ME MISTER PELL PT.2

Well I am getting those Oldies out of my system, and maybe coincidentally also had my ear fixed, lol!

But there are many hard-core Oldies people I know who think Music changed for the worse- ended even- with the arrival of the Beatles.
I like dipping back now and then for a show or…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: CALL ME MISTER PELL PT.1

Well I warned you.
Something about the Summer brings a yearning for Oldies to me.
This is a departure from the usual Music I play, almost all the songs will be from the 50's and early 60's.…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL.IV- ODDS AND ENDS PT.2

More of that NEWER Music for most of this 2nd half of Odds & Ends, songs from the last year or two.
The Theme without a Theme, lol!
Beginning with a guy who I'll bet has had more Music released since he died than when he was…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL.IV- ODDS AND ENDS PT.1

Here's one of those every now and then Odds & Ends Shows I like to do- no Theme!
But every time I sit down and do them, a Theme takes shape.
Apparently I cannot play Music any other way, lol!

In this case, it arose from my being labeled an Oldies…

And continues to do so.…

This show will be broadcast terrestrially July…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE HOUSE WE BUILT IS NOW HOME PT.2 END

This is it, the Closer for Building A House With Song.

And I am still blaming that other guy, that Jack guy.

HE did it...I told you...it wasn't me, lol!

The House We Have Built Is Completed And Is Home!

It may have its imperfections, but so do People.

But it is People That Make The House, none of that other small stuff matters.

Plus Home is a place of comfort and safety, a Fortress Of Solitude for us- where we…

It is time to close it all out, and this is Part One of the last two Episodes.
The House We Have Built Has Become A Home!
There are a couple of things I discovered doing this Building A House With Song Series:
First, this was tougher than I expected;…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG- MIXED BAG

While I was listening to the songs I was playing in the first half hour of this show, I thought of a couple of Oldies that might also fit that mini-topic.
So at the break, I ran over and picked out a couple.
They may not be Poets, but they could get their…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG- ALONE

I will start this Chapter with a song about something a few people wrote me and suggested we should have.
Hint: it is built to be outside.
Don't really know why we need one, I wouldn't use it, lol!…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG- ROOF

Well, we have made great progress in the last week with Building A House.
As I said at the top of the show, maybe it's because that NSA Invasion Of Our Privacy has made people cut down on their interfering Phone Calls to me.
I can get some damn work done, lol!
Since you build from the bottom up, we are putting the…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG- LOCATION

I am attempting to Build A House With Song, and it seems the next logical step would be...well, what is it that Real Estate people say?
It's time for Choosing A Location.
Let's look around- maybe a House In The…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: BUILDING A HOUSE WITH SONG- TOOLS

ROCKOLLECTIONS: JOHNNY CARSON LEAVES TONIGHT SHOW PT.4

To open this 4th and concluding Chapter from 2007, I have a few words to say about my man Steve Allen that I didn't have time for before the break.
Then it's off to perhaps the most famous tongue-twisting bit ever on the Tonight Show.
Did you know that…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: JOHNNY CARSON LEAVES TONIGHT SHOW PT.3

Again I remind you that these shows were originally broadcast in 2007.
And again, add 6 years to whatever I say- for example if I say 20 years, it is now 26 years.
In these final two chapters, you will hear more Johnny Carson.

In 1972 the Tonight Show moved…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: JOHNNY CARSON LEAVES TONIGHT SHOW PT.2

Please remember that these shows were originally broadcast in 2007.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: JOHNNY CARSON LEAVES TONIGHT SHOW PT.1

This is the first Chapter of two weeks of shows I did back in 2007- so to everything I say, please add 6 years, lol!
It is a significant short Series to ME, because Engineer Ken Stanley and I were increasingly moving away from those Featured Artists shows, where you just bring in a couple of Greatest Hits CD's or albums (anyone can do that!), and…

ROCKOLLECTIONS: NATIONAL TRAIN DAY PT.2 END

I am going to start off the last half of this National Train Day show with a little something that, if you are of a certain age, will have your memory whirring.
And all in keeping technically within our Theme.
After that, as I so often do to get the blood flowing to my…
