Episode 164: Salute To Steve Winwood, Including Dave Mason, Manassas, Marc Cohn Etc
November 9, 2024
The version that was heard on the live stream Wednesday evening at 5PM on RadioFreeNashville.org was an edited replay of TVT #20, which was diggable August of 2020. I realized while listening to it that I didn’t play anything by the supergroup Blind Faith so that’s one that’s coming soon. Hope you’ll enjoy this, the original #20…again. There’s Supersession music and Heart as well as the above. Here’s the full length episode.I could dig your support if you want to help with the costs of running a weekly radio show and podcast.

Episode 162: Saluting Kristofferson, Lesh, Sergio, John David

Episode 162: Saluting Kristofferson, Lesh, Sergio, John David
October 29, 2024
The hourglass is filling with sand. I’ve been working on this one over the past couple weeks and got the word that Phil Lesh passed, I knew that I needed to finish up and get the salutes ready. These four had unique lives and affected millions around the world, like many of the artists from the 60s & 70s did. This hour is a major tease. Do you have a story or memory of any of these artists that you might want to share? A Dead concert maybe? Or some piece of trivia? My email is TalesVinylTells@gmail.com. In case you’ve let it slip your mind, you can hear the initial radio show Wednesdays at 5 PM central time on RadioFreeNashville.org or on an actual radio at 103.7 in Nashville. The stream is more dependable and worldwide.

Episode 163: The Adventure Began!

Episode 163: The Adventure Began!
October 26, 2024
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.

Episode 161: Pt 5 Of The 7 Continent World Tour

Episode 161: Pt 5 Of The 7 Continent World Tour
October 20, 2024
Our World Tour winds down today with a visit to Antarctica and a tune about the Lost Continent. We’ll also catch Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Alan Parsons, the Beatles and many more. “Share”, “like”, add a comment and start a discussion if you please. Feel free to join in on the conversation.
This originally was Episode 27, released January 20, 2021, Inauguration Day. It’s the final leg of the World Tour that started in 2020. When I listened back to the archived show, it sounded like it could be better, so I fixed it. Hope you like.

Episode 160: Bowie, Fripp, Crusaders, Heroes, Friends And Being Famous

We are probably all, in my opinion anyway, a friend, maybe even a hero to someone but we can’t all be famous. And that may well be a good thing. In the meanwhile, we can keep the fires burning, the love-light burning and the circle turning. Maybe even keep the desires yearning.
Here are some memory-joggers, just some of the great music we had and heard on LP from the 60s and 70s.

Episode 159: Pt 4 7 Continent Tour

I want to begin this podcast teaser with a plea for your generous donation to my good friend, Jessica, who lost her home in the Asheville, NC flood.  Her gofundme page (link below) tells some of her story.  The trauma, heartbreak and sadness of that weather event can leave marks on a person forever.  If you can, I'd rather you donate to her than me and see how good that feels.  When you donate, you'll be able to keep up with the power of the human spirit when updates are posted and see what love can do! Thanking you, in advance. https://gofund.me/10ebc396
“ I believe ‘21’s gonna be a good year”. That’s where we started this episode as we continued our World Tour 2020 and led into 2021. Today we recreate this program as we travel to Asia with Asia and Lorde, then to the land down under with one of Australia’s national anthems and Little River Band, not to mention an old one about a kangaroo, which was on episode 26 but didn’t have time for it here.All our podcasts are recorded and uploaded in stereo, so if you can, listen on stereo equipment. You’ll get some clicks and pops, but full effect. Enjoy! And have a great safe year.

In this 3rd leg of the 7 Continent Tour of 2024, it’s a visit to the African continent and a jump to Europe.

Episode 157: Part 2 Of The TVT 7 Continent Tour

On December 20, 2019, I released episode 1 of Tales Vinyl Tells so when this episode was released, you might say was our First Birthday. That has me thinking, “If TVT was born on 12/20/19, wouldn’t this be the 2nd birthday?” Regardless, we’re up and away with the 2nd leg of our World Tour 2020 as we buzz around the US including Kentucky. I want to honor my friends (and they’re sisters), Karen and Kim, some mighty kind and fun Kentucky women. Next stop is Brazil with a classic and some new ones. Cuba’s nice to visit and the Caribbean is hurricane-free for right now, so a good time to visit. I bet you will hear at least one song today that you’ve never heard before and one that rings a bell but not loudly. Many are classics and it’s all fun! Hope you’ve enjoyed these so far and had as much fun as I have in putting them together for you.

Episode 156: Part 1 Of The TVT 7 Continent Tour

This is the first leg of the 7 Continents World Tour that actually played on podcast episode 23 in January of 2020. At that time, I posted on StudioMillsWellness.com, “Sure, it’s imaginary but it’s safe and healthy and has some pretty good music in it. Climb aboard! The upcoming episode or more will include visits to Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and now you can name the other continents. Today, we hear coast to coast, to Canada and Mexico. Hope you enjoy what you hear. Remember, its in stereo so don’t be afraid to listen well and volume it up.”

Episode 155: How Long Has It Been Since You've Heard These? Ever?

Episode 155: How Long Has It Been Since You've Heard These? Ever?
September 7, 2024
In a recent conversation with my friend Bonnie, she said how hearing a certain tune brought back memories of a time long ago, who she was hanging out with, what music he was listening to (and the B-52’s Rock Lobster was driving her crazy). He played it over and over, saturating his beloved partner. But she smiled as she said some of the things she hears on Tales Vinyl Tells stir up some good memories. So there it is, folks. The album rock of the 60s & 70s was some memorable stuff. Just think about the bell bottoms, the John Lennon-type glasses with purple lens, psychedelic headbands, pungent smells in the air covered by sandalwood or nap champa incense, beads hanging in doorways instead of doors. Oh sure, it’s all very nostalgic. Great songs fill this and every hour of Tales Vinyl Tells. If you appreciate this podcast a whole lot or even just a little, you can show your love by supporting it when you check out Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. I tip my hat to all who have already signed up. Thank you, friends.

The JimJam this time is Gordon Lightfoot’s Early Morning Rain, why not play along? And you’ll also catch Dhani Harrison doing a George song, a Deja vu song that shows the terrific harmonies of CSN&Y, a Reggae set with some New Zealand artists and more. Hope your ears will get happy listening.
