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. So, as I like to warn you, the listener, don’t be surprised what you hear here. Please support your independent and listener-supported RadioFreeNashville. You can do that in so many ways: Smile.Amazon.com, give us your old car or truck, or set up a monthly $ gift to support the diverse programming on WRFN-LP at RadioFreeNashville. You can listen live there; you can hear replays and download all of my live radio shows at Studio Mills Wellness.com , Apple Podcasts, and at Podbean.com, where the show is hosted.
