Hello again.  This hour, it’s another Tales Vinyl Tells, a sojourn into a lot of the album cuts from the 60s & 70s mostly.  The music is jam packed today and I hope we get to all that I’ve chosen for today’s show.  We’re going to honor and say thanks to a couple major players in the music of the 60s & the 70s.  These two artists have influenced and entertained so many other artists and especially us , the listeners.  Both John Hammond Jr. and Dash Crofts of Seals and Crofts entered the room next door recently.  You’ll also hear some Seger, Outlaws and more.  You can email me at talesvinyltells@gmail.com.  The tune under me is Tree of Life from Dash Crofts.  The Doors are next.

From May 2024: The aging process on humans is real. What we do and don’t do may play a big part in how that process affects us or not. The vinyl LPs of that era and the new ones being purchased today will last a lot longer than the color in our hair or our smooth and youthful skin. All I’m saying is that the age of rock is so wide and varied, from Elvis to Zappa, we have a lot of ground to cover in these short one-hour shows. And, who knows, maybe listening to the music of our youth may give a moment in time when we can enjoy those times or not. Admit it, it wasn’t all bad. If you have some input, like my friend, Puh-mella did, let me know your taste in music, who/what/when. Email all your comments to me at TalesVinylTells@gmail.com.

The proverbial circle of life continues to turn and we might find ourself getting in touch with our own mortality as time moves on. This week I reminisce, as I often do hearing this music. The sense input usually brings up feelings, emotions, thoughts, people, smells, tastes, sometimes things I could have done better or differently. But the music doesn’t change and that’s why I enjoy doing this podcast and radio show.

The ironies in life… This hour-long show just played on RadioFreeNashville.org and yesterday I was informed that Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band had passed away peacefully. He was 80. Jaimoe is the soul survivor of the original ABB now. The irony being that this particular episode started off Wednesday on radiofreenashville.org talking about the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East sessions from the summer of 1971. In fact, the second and third tunes from that session, on this episode, are from those Fillmore East fabulous concerts. If you didn't catch it during the live radio show, I was living in South Florida and was hanging out with some people I would call cool and we were doing a lot of concerts (and a fair amount of extracurricular recreational things). The concerts were affordable, like five dollars to eight dollars and we didn't mind traveling an hour to the Miami Jai Alai fronton to see the Allman Brothers Band live. That allowed plenty of time to get our heads right. It was a big party! It was the Fillmore East sessions! We were blown away. And in the first three months that the double album was on the market, it's sold a half million copies. I still have mine and you probably know I'm in love with it! Stormy Monday is a killer, You Don't Love Me is a great jam and the four sides contain wall-to-wall great southern rock.

…for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations”. Yeh man! Like the 60s & 70s! Playing for Change remakes songs with musicians from all over the world with sometimes odd instruments. Did you enjoy Joy of Cooking? Not the book, but the band. They’re here with a few nostalgic pieces just for you and our silly nostalgia. I’m in the present and love a lot of things about the past. The Doors and Zeppelin on windowpane. Allmans and shrooms. I do hope these tunes today will make you smile and encourage you to be grateful for all you are, here, now.
