Episode 154: A Little Fame, Some Little Moon Tunes
August 31, 2024
This is the last day of August and another hot MF but I’m starting to see some, no kidding, color changes in some dogwoods and maples, way out on the tips. I’m certain the temps will chill a bit, soon. We have had some nice weeks this summer where the temp didn’t get to 90, and the past week we saw 102 in Nashville. Even with some time off and away, the music rolls on. This one is no exception. The recent blue supermoon was worth celebrating and we have 3 more supermoons this year! So there are some moon tunes here and speaking of blue, we’ll hear from The Blue Flames with their leader, Georgie Fame. You know there’s so much more.I’ve been on a get out the vote jag for years and I encourage you to be sure you’re registered, you know what’s on the ballot and you know where to vote and when. Info is at your county elections board or commission or you can check your state’s Secretary of State’s website.

Have you heard of the group who needed a cover name to avoid contractual problems and decided to take the name of a crater on the moon? Yeh, things like that today in this hour. There’s also a jazzy one from Spirit. Randy California could really rip! It’s all a champagne jam.You can enjoy the company of others listening to Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at 5 PM Central on RadioFreeNashville.org and of course you can catch all the 150+ episodes on your favorite podcast app as well as on StudioMillsWellness.com.

Episode 151: Some Of This Music Causes Sensual Excitement

TALES VINYL TELLS PODCAST AND RADIO PROGRAM:Episode 151: Some Of This Music Causes Sensual ExcitementAugust 6, 2024Suppose that gets your attention. It’s true though, don’t you think? Haven’t you heard a song here on Tales Vinyl Tells or somewhere else and your brain just carries you back to a person, an event, an aroma, an experience? The goal on this podcast and radio program is to allow you to just dig the music from the albums of the 60s &70s and do what you want with it. I’m enjoying rediscovering the classic rock, a lot of it hidden behind the hits on an LP, and hearing things I’ve not heard before (and there are lots of them). One of those I’ve never heard before and on this show today is Arzachel, a group who also called themselves Uriel. Backstory is here. There’s a jazzy Spirit one, we’re gonna have us a Champagne jam and a few about San Francisco.Thanks to new financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells, including JP, John, Amy, Gecko and yes, I’m gonna keep ‘em spinning. If you’ve been telling yourself, “I want to be a part of this” or “been meaning to do this for some time”, check out Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.

Episode 148: There Were 37....

Episode 148: There Were 37....
June 28, 2024
There were 37 episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells that I recorded and posted only on the StudioMillsWellness.com website from the first in December 2019 til March 2022. That’s the month that I started doing a live weekly radio program at RadioFreeNashville. It was and remains today based on the great LPs of the 60s especially, many of which I had in my own library. When I started with RadioFreeNashville, I was confident that all royalty details were legit and I then got on Podbean.com who distributes my program to Apple, iHeart, Player FM, Spotify (they no longer use because of their pay structure to artists), and many other podcast services. This is a lot of what you probably don’t really care about but there’s a reason I tell you this. (Exhale) This episode and many in the future contain a lot of the music in those 37 episodes that didn’t get much more play on TVT after #37 because I try to repeat as little as possible. I have no playlist but, oh yes, I do have favorites. One of them is the Doobie’s Another Park Another Sunday. So there are a lot of great tunes I’m bringing into the light these days. Here we’ve got a Song in the Key of Life, one by a one-man band, two from a couple great musicians from the Atlanta area and played important roles in Atlanta Rhythm Section and Classics IV. Santana does a great Classics redux. And there’s one about a little yellow pill that your momma took which kept her cool. Mine did not take those tranks. She should have. Anyway, hope you dig it. Next week is the 4th of July and we’ll have our celebration for you then, but for now dig these tunes, man! AND, I almost forgot. The JIMJAM this time is Nights in White Satin. Join in! Listen live to Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at 5 PM Central on RadioFreeNashville.org.
Thank you, everybody, who donates monthly to me and Tales Vinyl Tells. It isn’t free to make this program happen and your support is a really nice gift to me, I appreciate you! If you think this is a worthwhile venture into the great album cuts of the 60s & 70s, you can donate a little or a lot at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. My deepest thanks to you!

Episode 147: Juneteenth Special
June 20, 2024
Here it is again. My annual salute to the celebration of the end of slavery on June 19, 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas that all previously enslaved people in Texas were free even though the emancipation proclamation had formally freed them almost 2-1/2 years earlier. This was a very significant event but was replaced by Jim Crow laws that still today hamstring the lives of many previous slaves’ families. My hopes are that when you hear The Negro National Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing, you’ll feel something inside reminding you of the concept of freedom and justice for all.
Financial support of Tales Vinyl Tells is greatly appreciated and it helps to offset the expenses that it takes to put this program together. You can learn more at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you so much.

MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!
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.
If you’d like to hear Tales Vinyl Tells as it plays live on RadioFreeNashville.org, tune in Wednesdays at 5 PM Central time to stream us live.

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. If you love the music of the 60s & 70s and want to financially support this exploration into that music, you can surf to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. You’ll feel good when you give. (IMHO). Thank you!
There are many ways to hear these great tunes: Live on RadioFreeNashville.org Wednesdays at 5 pm Central time, all the podcasts of the radio program(many times extended versions) can be listened to anytime, anywhere at StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells, on Apple podcasts, PlayerFM, iHeart and many podcast apps.

Episode 140: Another 15 Million Unit LP, Long Time Since Phoenix Flew And More

Episode 140: Another 15 Million Unit LP, Long Time Since Phoenix Flew And More
April 19, 2024
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.
By the way, Tales Vinyl Tells plays Wednesdays at 5 PM Central time on 103.7 and 107.1 FM around Nashville and streams live on RadioFreeNashville.org and here. Replays can be heard on the StudioMillsWellness website, iheart, playerFM, Apple, Podbean.com(our RSS feed host) and most of your good podcasting apps.
I’m asking for your financial support to help me pay the bills and make this show better. Thanks to all the generous fans of this great music of the 60s & 70s. My story is at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you, thank you.
All you listeners and especially you financial supporters, I want you to send me your favorite artist(s), favorite songs, memories etc. What I’d like to do is put together a special private podcast for the financial supporters. Ya dig? I asked my bud Vince to do that a few years ago and you can hear the Vince Playlist on episode 92. He’s no longer with us which makes his list that much more valued. Dig in.
