Episode 102: Spanning 57 Years Of Great Music From Judy Collins To Tedeschi Trucks

Have you noticed how the mind works sometimes? Sure, it works all the time but sometimes it amazes me how we couldn’t have planned something to happen the way it actually happened. I wanted to start this one with Monkey Man from the Stones. It such a cool tune. So, I did. John Cougar attributed I Need A Lover to the Stones’ Happy. I didn’t know that until those two were put together and I was researching and writing notes. And Mick Jagger turned 80 recently. Maybe I’m the only one who appreciates the coincidences but there they are. Today you’ll hear rock opera tunes from Tommy and David Byrne on Broadway. Great number from him and company.

On my mind: Tales Vinyl Tells is on RadioFreeNashville.org at 103.7 & 107.1 FM Wednesdays at 5PM Central time. Replays and podcasts of the radio show and complete archives of the podcast are on StudioMillsWellness and most podcast apps.

The Post Covid Outdoor Concert series is back! Day 3 of the Peacock is coming soon with Grand Funk Railroad, Loggins and Messina and The Rolling Stones. Days 1 & 2 are on the podcast.

Last but not least, I hope you really get what we’re doing on Tales Vinyl Tells. It’s preservation and exposure of what I feel is the best music of the 20th century. The vinyls, many of them anyway, have endured and get play on my show. Digital copies are lacking character. In hopes to continue my mission above, I humbly ask for your financial support. My ask is here. When you read it, you’ll understand why this is so important to me. Thank you for all support already offered and thank you for listening to TVT.
