Going back to the first airing of episode 30 on RadioFreeNashville.org and November 2022, we’ll play Jerry Lee Lewis and Springsteen’s Band at the opening of the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, which, looking at recent inductees, should be remarqueed Hall of Music (Pop). Live at Leeds was regarded by some as one of the, if not THE best recorded live albums, along with The Allmans at Fillmore East. There’s some shakin’ going on there too. The entire hour is filled with a lot of the great LP cuts that made the 60s & 70s music so important.

The reruns aren’t bad either. They can be heard on your favorite podcast app. Just search for Tales Vinyl Tells.
Today we’re going to say thanks and farewell to Marianne Faithfull, Jesse Colin Young of the Youngbloods and vibraphonist Roy Ayers Jr. The music under me is Roy Ayres with Herbie Mann at the 1969 Harlem summer of soul extravaganza with a song cowritten by Isaac Hayes. Those three have entered the room next door, as Henry Diltz coined the phrase. You also get some of the blues with Boz Scaggs and Duane Allman, together. So these are the stories that songwriters and artists want to convey to you. These are the Tales Vinyl Tells.

Episode 180! Here in Gator Landing, Fla there's no time to lose!
Today’s hour is a visit to the radio program of November 2022 on RadioFreeNashville.org and is a salute to the spirit of Nicolette Larson and her work as a successful solo artist and her work with The Doobies, Neil Young and many of the artists that Ted Templeman produced.
I’m here for a short while longer near the Atlantic, and when I look way out on the horizon of that great ocean, first there is a mountain, then there is no mountain, then there is.
I’ve had two roommates from long ago recently pass away and I hope you will let people know how you feel about them, unless you don’t like them and in that case, do what’s right.

This is Tales Vinyl Tells. And it’s another hour of some of the best rock tunes from albums of the 60s and 70s with some delicacies tossed in, just because. I’m saying hello from south florida, in Sandy Beach actually. Today, we’re going to salute a few great artists who were in their late 20s in the late 60s. They helped us understand more, sometimes less about life and the purpose of life and ……if you were there, you may know by now, if you weren’t there, don’t worry too much about it. This is our music, unmatched and unduplicated. I highly recommend listening on headphones, this program is, after all, recorded in stereo.

Episode 173: PCOC Day 4 with Johnny Winter And and Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers
The Post Covid Outdoor Concert series was put together at a time in 2021 and 2022 when the badly mismanaged virus was eating people alive. We didn’t have a clue as to when or how it would end and whether I’d survive if I got it or my love or my children or grand child or family got it and would it kill them. I thought it was imperative that we needed some music that might steer us to a place of comfort and peace. Yeh! Let’s get stoned and put on some tunes! I’m not so much a toker these days but the music can still carry me away. Does it you? What Tales are your Vinyls Telling you?
Well then, replaying and reworking some of the Peacocks is intended to carry you away to a live concert, peaceful, fun, beautiful, far out, cool, man. Let’s dig some of the great Johnny Winter with the McCoys and Ric Derringer, Tom Petty and Fleetwood Mac today. This is the entire concert first created Sept. 8, 2021.

Episode 172: PCOC, Day 3! Grand Funk, Loggins & Messina, The Stones LIVE
This is Day 3 of the Post Covid Outdoor Concert series. The New Days Festival features some of the great rock gigs of the 60s & 70s, some live on our imaginary stage and some off LPs. But it’s a great celebration of the live concert we attended back then. No, I’m not stuck in that time but I sure haven’t been to anything greater than an outdoor concert with other peaceful music-loving people who don’t talk through the whole show. Dual stages, a festival atmosphere and lots of good vibes. It’s another killer show today with Mark Farner and Grand Funk Railroad, Loggins and Messina and The Rolling Stones.
