Episode 38 A New Adventure Ahead! Details inside

This episode reflects back on the beginning, episode 1, that premiered in the winter of 2020. 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 37 After a minute or two

Having delayed our trip to southern Utah for September 2020, we made it our goal to go this year and it was a blast! It did delay any planning and producing a new TVT, but here’s the next one!

This time you’ll hear Buddy Miles, Ten Years After, Ray Charles, The Dead x2, and you might just learn something new. No promises from me.

Thanks for listening. Tell a friend. Have Happy Holidays!

Episode 36 LIVE Back to Covid Days Concert

I really thought we were turning this virus around but it’s a tough one and as I get back to those healthy guidelines, I encourage all to get the vaccine and let’s get back to healing the world!

It’s Day 4 of the live concert recordings and we building to a great performance today from the great Johnny Winter with Rick Derringer, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the top bill today is the legendary Fleetwood Mac! Petty and Stevie will sing a few as The Heartbreakers and The Mac trade off the stage.

Huge talent and large sound today on Tales Vinyl Tells. Don’t hold back to feel the nostalgia.

Live 35! Episode 35-Day 3 New Days Festival

The live shows are happening all around and the New Days are here! My salute to live music in the form of a big outdoor concert is in day 3 with Grand Funk Railroad, Loggins and Messina and the greatest rock n roll band in the world, The Rolling Stones. Our extended concert this time includes great jams from all three bands on slate. Crank it up and enjoy!

Episode 34 LIVE!

The 2nd day of the Post Covid Outdoor Concerts is here! PCOC-Peacock 2021-The New Days Festival. Free and open to all. It’s an imaginary arts and crafts festival as concerts are starting up across the US and we feature some of the Steves today. Steve Miller Band, Stevie Ray Vaughn and Stevie Wonder perform today just for you. I hope these brighten your day and make the blood flow faster and speed up your heart beat.

Episode 33 LIVE!

You were warned last episode! This is the start of the Post Covid Outdoors Concert series, PCOC 2021. I like to call it Peacock ‘21. Also known as the New Days Festival, it’s a look at the future for concerts and arts fairs and is free and everybody gets along here. Ok, you may say I’m a dreamer, but hey, I’m not the only one. (Thanks, John). Use your imagination as we get closer to living lives similar to the way they were before February and March of 2020. Who would you like to see live? Frampton with Humble Pie and Steve Marriot? Doobie Brothers? The Beatles? Well, dream on…..with me. They’re all here at today’s New Days Festival.

Episode 31 A is for...B is for...

Weird title, right? Let me explain. Details in this podcast are as encouraging as pandemic news is. Live activities are getting closer, we’re given the go-ahead for many activities but let’s not give up on the Covid fight we’ve staged. That’s my PSA for today.
Musically, we start the alpha-trek through my LPs (other sources too) with Allmans (no surprise), Boz, Cat, Dire and so on. You’ve heard many of these and replays can stimulate senses. Maybe there’s one here that’s new to you. I’d like to know your thoughts. Glad you’re listening!

Episode 30....Finally....Bob Dylan salute

Dylan has reportedly sold 600+ of his songs for an estimated $300 million! In his nearly 60 years of composing and singing his songs, he has gained respect, love and fandom from many and I want to salute some of his works. You’ll hear today, The Band, The Byrds, The Turtles, Keith Emerson’s first successful band and so much more. I hope you enjoy these originals and covers of the music of Bob Dylan. I’d love to hear from you about this one and anything else about Tales Vinyl Tells. How ‘bout some volume on this thing??

Episode 29 West Coast Bands

See if you know the band playing under the voice in this one. Let me know. I got on a tear here, from the Doobies, a Monkee and CSN&Y to Seger from ‘75 in Detroit, my hopes are that you’ll enjoy this one. Hello to our younger listeners who are discovering why we are the way we are. It’s the music!! Leave a “comment”, “like” the episode and “share” with the buttons below.

Episode 28

It’s an exciting time in America! Nearing the end of the first month of a new year, we’ve inaugurated a new administration and a Covid-19 vaccine is rolling out, despite shortages, delays and bad governors’ playing games with the pandemic. But I always found that music was a kind of salve, to help me through the good and bad and this episode’s no exception. With Hendrix, Seals and Crofts, Steely Dan and more, there’s plenty to celebrate here. Let me know what you think would be a good one to play, maybe a group of tunes that go together. Details in the podcast. The headphones I mention are the HD-6XX Sennheisers from Drop.com. Enjoy and happy listening.

Episode 27 World Tour 2020-2021 Pt 5

Episode 27! Our World Tour 2020-21 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. This is our new blog page for Tales Vinyl Tells. On this blog page you can “share”, “like”, add a comment and start a discussion if you please. Feel free to join in on the conversation.

Episode 26 World Tour 2020-2021 Pt 4

Episode 26: Happy New Year! “ I believe ‘21’s gonna be a good year”. That’s where we start this episode and we continue our World Tour 2020 and add 2021. Today 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.
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.

Episode 25 World Tour 2020 Continues Pt 3

Episode 25: This is the final episode for 2020. This is the next leg of World Tour 2020, and the tour will continue into 2021, when we’ll travel to Asia, Russia, Australia, Antarctica and a continent that’s hard to find. Right now though we’re heading to England and Europe with Pablo Cruise, Toto and John Mayall. There are more too. A little more volume will allow you to hear things that you may not have years ago as digital technology is very defining. Enjoy and Happy New Year.

Episode 24 World Tour 2020 Continues Pt 2

Episode 24: On December 20, 2019, I released episode 1 of Tales Vinyl Tells so this you might say is 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. Best of the holidays to you!! And will you please wear the mask, keep your distance and wash those hands! I want to hear from you now and later.

Episode 23 World Tour 2020 Begins

Episode 23: Our first leg of the 7 Continents World Tour 2020. 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 dont be afraid to listen well and volume it up.

Episode 22 Interview with Bob Luckin Pt 2

Episode 22: We continue our chat with Bob Luckin, artist and audiophile, and we talk about some music you might want to check out because they are deep in the mainstream, and we hear from Poco, Thelma and Louise music, an alternate version of a month song and more. All TVTs are better with headphones or give it some volume because we’ve got some good ones on all the podcasts. Enjoy “Thunderbird” with Pete Haycock and Hans Zimmer especially!
