Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”

Episode 72 Vince’s Playlist

 
December 10, 2022
AS WE AGE, WE WILL SEE AND EXPERIENCE MORE JOY, THE COUNTERPART OF SADNESS. THERE WILL BE MORE BIRTHS AND MORE PASSINGS. IT’S INEVITABLE. THIS MONTH OF DECEMBER, THE 20TH ACTUALLY, I BELIEVE, IN 2019, BEFORE COVID AND IN THE NASTY GRIPS OF A TYRANT-WANNABE PRESIDENT, I WAS ENCOURAGED BY MY FRIEND, DAVID, TO PUT MY ALBUM COLLECTION TO GOOD USE AND “YOU NEED TO DO A PODCAST.” WELL, I DID AND NOW, 72 OR SO EPISODES LATER, I’M DOING MY EXPIRED FRIEND, VINCE, A SALUTE TO HIS FAVORITE TUNES, EACH WITH HEART AND MEANING. SOME WERE THINGS I’VE ALREADY PLAYED HERE, SOME NEW ADDITIONS THAT I MOST LIKELY WOULDN’T HAVE THOUGHT OF.
HERE’S TO VINCE, WHO LOVED HIS TIE-DYES. RAISE A GLASS TO THE SPIRIT OF HIS KINDNESS AND LOVE. HIS WIFE PICKED UP HIS ASHES RECENTLY AND SAID THEY WERE TIE-DYED. ENJOY THIS PLAYLIST. SEND ME YOURS.

Episode 69 No Time To Lose! Live Your Life To The Fullest!

That’s a weird title for this hour, I know. Let me explain. I have a friend that is like a brother, with plenty of wisdom, respect and love for me and pretty much everyone he’s met. I felt the same way about him. A really good guy. His name is Vince. He had open heart surgery earlier this week and didn’t survive the surgery. He did his life’s work in 62 years. I’m older than that and still working on it. In the future, I’m going to do a show with some of the songs he gave me when I asked him his favorites. He gave me 12. And he gave a reason he chose them in 10 words or less. The message in the list is that things are all right, nothing lasts, and with Down by the River, it’s “just because it’s a badass song.”
Right now, though, we’ve some music to hear! Animals (early), Nicolette Larson, A Marin County band named Seatrain, A super jam and so much more. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to share this, comment on it and have a good day. How can you make this world a better place?

Episode 68 Shaking with the Killer, Climbing the Wall and more

 
There are only 3 more LPs on our list that were certified at least 15 million platinum awards and #3 today is a double album that rests in my vinyl collection and still sounds great. The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland has a big display of a brick wall honoring this artist and this release from 1979. There’s a lot of shakin’ goin’ on here today so let’s go. And please consider supporting RadioFreeNashville with a gift or make it monthly (like I do) or you can give your old car to them/us. Running or not. And please feel free to share this post and podcast, and download it for offline listening. Tales Vinyl Tells live at 5 on Wednesdays at 103.7 & 107.1 Fm in Nashville and on the web at RadioFreeNashville.org.

Episode 70 Only 2 more 15 million platinum LPs! Who is it today?

You know I’m going to tell you on today’s show. Not a regular in the rock genre and not American by birth, but their 3rd album was a big seller. The first two were very commercially accepted. Enough tease?
A Cream cut. another super jam. I dig the long jams! Got ‘em loaded for future shows too. Suggestions? Comments?
My email: talesvinyltells@gmail.com
We saw a great documentary on PBS last night about Buffy Sainte-Marie, called Carry it on. It’s available on Passport and possibly even PBS.org. It is really good and she deserves recognition for her work to bring forth and promote the Native American culture and bring awareness to Missing and Murdered Indigenous women and the Red Dress project. Also the subject of Prime’s Alaska Daily mini series. Buffy’s Cree and they believe that on October 12, 1492, the Indians discovered Columbus. Some kind of irony.
I hope you enjoy this episode! You can listen live Wednesdays at 5 Central at 103.7 & 107.1 in Nashville, at RadioFreeNashville.org and here. The archived shows become podcasts, available here, on Apple podcasts and on Podbean.com, where the raw podcast lives, for listening and free download, so Tales Vinyl Tells can go wherever you go.
Best of the holidays to you! And I hope that 2023 will be even better than 2022. This year has had some good things about it but a lot of sad too. Keeping my head positive. Peace.

Episode 67 A few songs for and about women and much more

This show took me quite a while to put together. Hope it shows. There’s a recent group in the first set who had a connection to the Allman Brothers Band, there are two versions of a great Joni Mitchell song, one by Bob Dylan’s NYC guru, a song by Richie Furay, which I understand. was written for/to his wife over 50 years ago and they’re still cranking on. My friend, Brant Miller, shared his “GET OUT THE VOTE” song. Please make sure you vote! And there’s another song by a duo which was written by a Beatle using a pseudonym to test the waters to see if he could be successful without his writing partner. It’s a busy hour and Linda says its some great music, so I’ll go with that.
Please support RadioFreeNashville.org in any way you can. That website will give you some ideas. Be well! Enjoy the show! Got your popcorn?

Episode 66 Winding October down

Do you know, off the top of your head now, who played the part of Buddy Holly in La Bamba, the movie from 1987? We’ve got a great cut from him this time. There’s a story about Thunderclap Newman and we’ve got their cool tune too. The #5 artist on the short list of those who have sold more than 15 million units of an LP is played. Their debut vinyl disc sold 17 million times. A hint: they’re named after a great city. And there’s much more.
Tales Vinyl Tells will be three years old on December 19th, 2022 and the project that started as a homegrown podcast became an hour a week live show on RadioFreeNashville, WRFN-LP this past March. Listen live Wednesdays at 5 central time at 103.7 & 107.1 FM around Nashville, RadioFreeNashville or here. My aim is to share my albums and other sources, our music from the 60s and 70s, and it can/does take us into other eras of the rock years.

Episode 65 Great Guitarists You Don’t Hear Much & #6 Best-Selling LP

Progressive rock radio stations of the 60s, especially, exposed many great and long-lasting tunes and LPs that would endure more than a half century. I try to play as many as come from my personal collection and memory, and there are many that seem to fly under the radar because they don’t have commercial appeal but a curious music lover wants to hear the wide range of acoustic players and singers you just don’t hear these days. This episode I wanted to highlight some of those, like: Leo Kottke, John Fahey, Tommy Emmanuel and you’ll also hear Arlo, Graham Nash and quite a few more. Twelve spins today.
You can tune in to the live show Wednesdays at 5 central time in Nashville at 103.7 and 107.1 FM or you can stream it on RadioFreeNashville.org. All the episodes are on Apple Podcasts too at TalesVinylTells. Download them and listen anytime, even when you’re primitive camping. Thanks for listening!

Ep 39 RadioFreeNashville show 3.16.22: Hendrix, Souther, Batdorf/Rodney

I’ve done two shows so far on RadioFreeNashville and this is the second show from 3/16/22. It features JD Souther, Hendrix, John Batdorf and Mark Rodney with a really cool pair of tunes, Young Rascals and more. Hope you enjoy and I hope you’ll consider donating to RadioFreeNashville.org to keep alternative (non-mainstream) media supported. Tales Vinyl Tells Live on RadioFreeNashville can be heard Wednesdays at 5 PM Central. Give it a listen!

Ep 38 New Beginnings!

This episode reflects back on the beginning, episode 1, that premiered in the winter of 2019. 38 Episodes later, I realize how many new beginnings we can have in a lifetime. Repeats, reruns, whatever you want to call it, we get a chance to do things differently, over and over again. Lotta woo woo there, I know. I’m preparing for a radio gig for Tales Vinyl Tales (hoping for the best) and I find no better place to get ideas than the beginning, the past. With some additions and subtractions, this episode has Moody Blues, Bonnie Raitt, Spirit and more. I feel it’s a good ‘un.

Ep 37 Buddy Miles, Ten Years After, Ray Charles, Dead

Episode 37 After A Minute Or Two
December 4, 2021
Having delayed our trip to southern Utah for September 2020, we made it our goal to go this year and it was a blast! It did delay any planning and producing a new TVT, but here’s the next one!
This time you’ll hear Buddy Miles, Ten Years After, Ray Charles, The Dead x2, and you might just learn something new. No promises from me.
Thanks for listening. Tell a friend. Share the link.
