It’s another fun day here at TVT with a huge turnout for The Doors and Grateful Dead. Lucky you’re going to hear it on this podcast. It’s more than a 1/2 hour longer than the live radio show on RadioFreeNashville.org. That live radio show is at 5 PM Central time on Wednesdays. The podcasts are longer and include a way you can show your love and appreciation for Tales Vinyl Tells by supporting with a monthly contribution to this music of the 60s and 70s by surfing to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.
Thanks to all who already give monthly and I hope you’ll join them. Enjoy the concert! It’s Day 6 of the Post Covid Outdoor Concert series!
All episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells can be heard at StudioMillsWellness.com on the podcast tab and on a whole bunch of podcast apps.

Episode 118: Indian Summer, RIP Rudolph, Petty/Campbell Now And Then, Health Workers Salute

Episode 118: Indian Summer, RIP Rudolph, Petty/Campbell Now And Then, Health Workers Salute
November 25, 2023
Didn’t get no notice from Spot-to-fy since last time I posted. Maybe they were just being sensitive and not getting any attention. Whatever. We’ll see what happens this week and see if I can care any less.
This time we salute all health care workers and providers, including those on what some call “the fringes”, complementary medicine, like osteopathy, acupuncture, homeopathy, massage, reflexology and reiki, from here.
As we’ve been doing the past couple episodes, we hearing artists before and after larger success. Tom Petty/Heartbreakers/Mike Campbell share 3. This time of year we know winter’s coming and it’s nice to get some warmth to light our fire to prep for cold weather. It’s Indian summer. Nice tunes named that. You can hear the radio show live on RadioFreeNashville.org at 5PM Wednesdays and the podcast of the radio hour at StudioMillsWellness.com and most podcasting apps anytime.
Your financial support of Tales Vinyl Tells tells me you like what you hear here. I’m so grateful for your generosity. There are expenses. Give as little as $5 a month or as much as you want to help me continue to bring the great album rock of the ‘60s and ‘70s. More at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you so much!
NEXT WEEK IT’S DAY 6 OF THE POST COVID OUTDOOR CONCERTS SERIES WITH THE DOORS, AND GRATEFUL DEAD. PCOC, THE PEACOCK, CELEBRATING THE NEW DAYS AFTER-PANDEMIC. THE PODCAST HAS EXTENDED PERFORMANCES!

Episode 117: One From A Surfer Band’s Drummer, A Huge Selling Band From Massachusetts And More

Is it possible to outsmart the podcast app? I had a recent podcast removed from Spot-to-fy I’d say because a few bands’ names were in the episode title. It was the Little Feat and Pink Floyd PCOC a few weeks ago. I’ll let you know the results. Like that app is so generous paying the artists. Screw them.
Hope this episode flips your switch. Listening with headphones is a +.

Episode 116: Change Is The Only Constant In Life. Last Fab Four Song?

About a month from this post Tales Vinyl Tells will celebrate being a podcast for four years. 116 episodes deep, some replays, truth be told, and over 1,000 unique songs played, here’s another hour of the great album rock of the 60s and 70s! Wasn’t that dramatic? I do want to say thanks for listening and share my hope for many more episodes/years/spins/replays. You can experience the real live radio show at 5 PM Wednesdays on RadioFreeNashville.org. That’s the best listening experience I think. Those of you in Canada, The Philippines, New Zealand get better reception that way. Also, thank you to all you supporters of TVT through the Patron Program at Podbean.com. I appreciate each of you greatly. The link again is Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.
This episode is about change, a song that took 44 years to put together (Beatles) and a salute to Ed King. You’ll recognize his sound. Did you ever have a marble vinyl? More on these notes are in this episode of Tales Vinyl Tells.  Hear it here  and on a whole bunch of podcast apps.

Episode 115: Live! It’s Peacock, PCOC #5!

Fall’s in full swing here in Music City, Nashville. The colors of fall are all but faded and we’ve had a few overnight temps cold enough to bring our brass monkeys in. And Indian summer is around Nov. 11, give or take and this episode with The Peacock rocks and could well warm your innards and extremes if you’re dancing to the tunes. It’s Peacock #5, The New Days Festival with live Little Feat and Pink Floyd. Lucky you! You get an extended version of the concert and I hope you dig what you hear.
If you really do dig what we play here, just consider being a monthly supporter of Tales Vinyl Tells. You can give $5 a month, you can give a one-timer of $10,000.

Episode 114: All New, 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 113: Spotlight On Rod Argent With Some Beatles, A Great Steely Dan Tune And More

Back in the spring this was a new show on RadioFreeNashville, May to be exact. Be careful though, there might be Zombies here! It’s OK though. It’s scary good stuff!
Thanks to my peeps who have offered to fund this podcast. It takes money and time to bring the great music from the albums of the 60s and 70s to you and I want to thank you to you in Florida, Michigan, Tennessee, to name a few, that have said “yes”.

Episode 111: Top 3 Albums With A Stage Light On Pink Floyd.

Recently on Tales Vinyl Tells I counted down most of the 29 albums of all time that sold more than 15 million units. An LP counted as one, a single as a half sale. This time it’s a focus on 2 by Pink Floyd that were big sellers not to mention they were captivating of the ears and brains. These are culturally significant in my opinion. And there’s more of the great album cuts from the 60s and 70s.
You can hear Tales Vinyl Tells as it happens on RadioFreeNashville.org and on radio on 103.7 & 107.1 at 5 PM Wednesdays. Replays can be heard on StudioMillsWellness.com and on many podcast apps.

Episode 110: There Are Some Songs That Just Need To Be Played Together, Here

And I’m not saying that I do it right here, but I hear a tune sometimes, not often, but I hear a companion tune. There are two of them in this show. Can you find them? My email is talesvinyltells.com. Just curious if you’re aware of them. Ok. Derek and the Dominoes was amazing, recorded in the brand new Criterion Studios in Miami, Fla. Our lead off jams like crazy. Have you heard the Canadian Beatles? We have some Klaatu. What a name! At 17 is an aural beauty. And Poco finishes us with the title cut from Crazy Eyes. It’s a pretty good tune.
I want to say thank you to my financial supporters and invite you to join them at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. How can I make this adventure into the great music of the 60s and 70s better? I’d like to hear your ideas, questions and feedback. Email me at talesvinyltells@gmail.com. Thanks for listening!

Episode 109: Farewell To Jimmy Buffett, Artists In ”Before” Groups And More, Of Course.

I stand corrected about Jimmy Buffett’s success, not to mention his impact on our culture. I mentioned on the radio show and podcast the numbers of recordings. Here are the facts: 32 studio albums, 11 compilation albums, 14 live LPs, one soundtrack LP and 67 singles! Jimmy was a very busy guy. He brought out the “party” in people. He also got melancholic. Like He Went to Paris. He wrote after meeting a musician, a one-armed veteran of the Spanish Civil War. It was a song he rarely played live and found out that Bob Dylan liked the song, and it was later recorded by Waylon Jennings and Doug Supernaw. Thank you, Jimmy and if you don’t mind, save us a place in the next room.
There’s also a new journey we’re on to hear where some successful artists were before they gained their star. Tom Petty’s Mudcrutch, Ed King’s Strawberry Alarm Clock and Skynyrd and so on. This time it’s Gerry Rafferty, with 3 different groups. Good stuff. Fairly historical. Hope you like. Sure, there’s a boatload of great LP cuts from the 60s and 70s.
Your financial support of Tales Vinyl Tells is so appreciated from all who have already signed up and those who will in the future. Maybe today? Check out my story at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Hat tip and thanks to each and all of you for listening/reading/sharing.
