The Austin Snyder Experience

The Eagles known as just Eagles is an American band that started in 1971, recorded 4 albums then it took them three years to record and release The Long Run. I put Hotel California at the end of the show for a bonus track!

This band started in 1969 with the master, Maurce Whiteas the band leader, producer and sold over 90 million albums! This photo of Austin was taken about 3 or 4 years ago when he visited his friend, Derick in southwest Arizona.

I thought I would revisit Kansas again and celebrate their 50th anniversary of the LP Point Of No Return. They hit the charts topping at #4 and sold over 4 million LP's.

My brother in law, Scott Robbins sent me a song that he created this week in honor of his son Riley along with my son Austin. The track is smokin' hot! So after this track, I'm playing the hits of the early days of the group, Boston. My daughter Kaitlin always thought I sounded that Bradly Delp, the singer of Boston but was a great complement to me. He was much better and had a very powerful range...

I have had a love for Contemporary Christian music over the years, seeing a number of bands in concert, small acoustic settings and scaled down acoustic setting like Jeremy Camp in Fort Wayne, IN at a large church venue called First Assembly of God. Also at Pulsefest in South Bend and many concerts at the Memorial Coliseum for Winter Jam and other concerts as well over the years. More to come!

I featured 15 songs from the Rush catalog. More to come at a later date. Enjoy!

One of the best hard rock singers and songwriters of the 1990"s. A four octave range with so much power and finesse! We have a Not My Kids final farewell show coming up in a couple of weeks wish you were on the bandstand! Miss you like crazy!

I hope you all enjoy this music that brings me such joy to my heart, especially the song AS!

Songs In The Key Of Live part 1. A specular look into the musical genius of Steve Wonter.

This week I'm featuring 3 guitar greats from over the years. Steve Morse from the Dixie Dregs, Deep Purple and a time with Kansas, Eric Johnson and Joe Satriana.

Chicago was a very large influncer of my music growing up as I played in a high school band called Ogacihc which is Chicago spelled backwards. This photo was taken at WXKE Rock 104 studios back in the day before a show at the Club Room next to the Clyde Theature.

Some blues music I played with Austin in The Brad Kelsey Band and in Sheba as well.

This week, I'm featuring the group, Journey. From 1975 to 1986. Austin and I played some Journey over the years, mainly the song Separate Ways.

I used tracks from Toto IV (4) along with the Seventh One, Tambu, Mindfields, Old Is New and Steve Lukather's solo project Bridges.

This week, I'm playing a sample of some of Toto's music off of the first two LP's then jumping to 1992 with Kingdom Of Desire, Jeff Porcarco's last recording before his passing.

Just a little taste of Stanley Clarke as he as played on countless recording and projects over the years. The last LP on this show is SMV - Thunder with Stanley, Marcus Miller and Victor Wooten.

Some of the best music Carlos Santana ever recorded as this LP went #1 in 1999. This is a painting print Austin had hanging in his apartment. He loved the playing styles of Taylor Hawkins.

I have covered Tull from 1974 to 1989 this week. Two of my favorite Tull tunes are The Minstrel In The Gallery and Farm on the Freeway.

Ian Anderson's Jethro Tull band has been in existence since 1967, almost 60 years! Here is the first 5 years of the band's music.

Some of my favorite song to sing like A Matter Of Trust and I Go To Extremes.

Just the way you are was my mother's favorite songs for me to sing. I'm going to cover this week his LP's from 1971 to 1977.

I always enjoyed playing Perer's music for Austin, especially the live video "Growing up". The photo I chose reminded that the spirit of Austin lives through me by a bright and shining star.

I decided to hit he middle years of the band from 1980 to 1986.

This is an original band from Fort Wayne, no longer together but recorded a great disc called Anybody Listening.

The Foo Fighters was one of Austin's favorite bands especially Taylor Hawkins, the long time drummer for the band.
