Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”
Tales Vinyl Tells is my podcast that evolved into my radio show that airs weekly on RadioFreeNashville. I had quite a few LPs that I collected in the late 60s and 70s and I always knew the magic of the albums of that era of album-oriented rock brought back memories of times, people, smells, tastes and feelings. I hope it does for you too. Back-stories and album liner notes tie the tunes together. I’m your host Brian Hallgren and you should hear the Tales Vinyl Tells!
Listen on:

Special Episode: It’s patriotic to protest and in response to the deaths of numerous African Americans like George Floyd, Aumaud Aubery, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor involved with white police officers or those who think they have the authority to take a life, I am moved, in truth infuriated, at the way these brothers and sisters have been killed. This is my protest episode. Weep, scream, do what you need to do to stay sane, but most of all, Protest! Take peaceful action. Get involved to bring about peace, equality and justice for all people.

Here’s another replay of the live radio program. I did some bad math and didn’t time things out to end at 6:00 so had to take the Doobie tune off the live playlist but tossed it back in when I edited the playback. Gobbledygook to you maybe, but I said I’d “definitely share a Doobie” and here it is. A very heavy duty Deep Purple tune from 1970 winds this one up but, oh man! Between Rockin’ Elton and then, there’s Dan Fogelberg, Boston and more. This is a great one for headphones! BTW, did you contact a dermatologist yet?

Karla Bonoff is the spotlighted songwriter and we’re having fun! July 6th should be live again with more LP cuts from the 60s and 70s, hope you’ll join me Wednesday a 5 PM on RadioFreeNashville.org, on Streema and if you’re in Nashville, try us at 103.7 and 107.1 FM. Happy Independence Day!
Let me encourage you if you spend time in the sun or have in the past or if you have used or use tanning beds, please be sure to see a dermatologist. I’ve just had a melanoma cut out of my head and it’s no fun and can be deadly. My hairstylist found it and luckily it seems to be serious but not deadly, though it could be if not detected early. Take care of your skin. Have your partner check you out too. Ticks hide, so can melanomas. Peace.
