Episode 168: Last Month Of 2024 And The Rock Keeps Rollin' December 3, 2024 This is some of the music that surrounded so many of us boomers during the 60s & 70s. We worked by it, played by it, soared with it, boogied to it and attached some memories to it that may well last a lifetime. For some of us, this music was something we were listening to full time. There’s some Disraeli Gears music fi...

Episode 167: More Of The Great Hippie Stoner Music You Vaguely Remember November 28, 2024 It’s Thanksgiving morning here. Rainy, cool and I’m getting ready to eat then go to a movie.

You know, if you want to hear a Tales Vinyl Tells when...

  Episode 166:New Version Of An Old One November 20, 2024 I hope you’re well and ready for some music from a lot of West Coast bands today. You know, we dig into these great albums of the 60s and 70s and some of you younger listeners may not have been on the Earth at that time. You know, just a little gleam in your daddy’s eyes? So hello to you younger listeners today . A lot of us were brought up...

Episode 165: Survived Another Election November 14, 2024 We are back again with another expedition into that great album rock of the 60s & 70s here on Tales Vinyl Tells.  This expedition has been going on for quite a while now, the podcast version since December 2019.  The radio version premiered in the spring of 2022.  I vaguely remember the evenings during this music’s time when we’d visit a...

Episode 164: Salute To Steve Winwood, Including Dave Mason, Manassas, Marc Cohn Etc November 9, 2024 The version that was heard on the live stream Wednesday evening at 5PM on RadioFreeNashville.org was an edited replay of TVT #20, which was diggable August of 2020. I realized while listening to it that I didn’t play anything by the supergroup Blind Faith so that’s one that’s coming soon. Hope you’...

Episode 162: Saluting Kristofferson, Lesh, Sergio, John David October 29, 2024 The hourglass is filling with sand. I’ve been working on this one over the past couple weeks and got the word that Phil Lesh passed, I knew that I needed to finish up and get the salutes ready. These four had unique lives and affected millions around the world, like many of the artists from the 60s & 70s did. This h...

Episode 163: The Adventure Began! October 26, 2024 This episode reflects back on the beginning, episode 1, that premiered in the winter of 2019. 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 Ta...

Episode 161: Pt 5 Of The 7 Continent World Tour October 20, 2024 Our World Tour winds down today with a visit to Antarctica and a tune about the Lost Continent.

This originally was Episode 27, released Janu...

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. If you want to su...

I want to begin this podcast teaser with a plea for your generous donation to my good friend, Jessica, who lost her home in the Asheville, NC flood.  Her gofundme page (link below) tells some of her story.  The trauma, heartbreak and sadness of that weather event can leave marks on a person forever.  If you can, I'd rather you donate to her than me and see how good that feels.  When you donate, yo...

In this 3rd leg of the 7 Continent Tour of 2024, it’s a visit to the African continent and a jump to Europe. Music from the group Africa, Paul Simon, John Mayall and more than enough to fill your ears with an hour of the great LP cuts from the 60s and 70s mostly. Enjoy! Your support is so appreciated and goes toward paying the expenses that it takes to put this program on the web. More information...

On December 20, 2019, I released episode 1 of Tales Vinyl Tells so when this episode was released, you might say was 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...

This is the first leg of the 7 Continents World Tour that actually played on podcast episode 23 in January of 2020. At that time, I posted on StudioMillsWellness.com , “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 contine...

Episode 155: How Long Has It Been Since You've Heard These? Ever? September 7, 2024 In a recent conversation with my friend Bonnie, she said how hearing a certain tune brought back memories of a time long ago, who she was hanging out with, what music he was listening to (and the B-52’s Rock Lobster was driving her crazy). He played it over and over, saturating his beloved partner. But she smiled a...

Episode 154: A Little Fame, Some Little Moon Tunes August 31, 2024 This is the last day of August and another hot MF but I’m starting to see some, no kidding, color changes in some dogwoods and maples, way out on the tips. I’m certain the temps will chill a bit, soon. We have had some nice weeks this summer where the temp didn’t get to 90, and the past week we saw 102 in Nashville. Even with some...

Episode 153: Well, Toot My Flute! Court Is In Session. Nostalgia Abounds Here. August 23, 2024 In case you wonder what’s in this podcast episode, I can only tell you that I think you’ll dig it from the front end to the back end. Have you heard of the group who needed a cover name to avoid contractual problems and decided to take the name of a crater on the moon? Yeh, things like that today in this...

Tales Vinyl Tells Podcast Episode 147: Juneteenth Special June 20, 2024 Here it is again. My annual salute to the celebration of the end of slavery on June 19, 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas that all previously enslaved people in Texas were free even though the emancipation proclamation had formally freed them almost 2-1/2 years earlier. This was a v...

Episode 142: The Album Rock Of The 60s & 70s Doesn't Get Old. Only We Do, If We Allow It. May 4, 2024 MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU! The aging process on humans is real. What we do and don’t do may play a big part in how that process affects us or not. The vinyl LPs of that era and the new ones being purchased today will last a lot longer than the color in our hair or our smooth and youthful skin. A...

Details Here April 27, 2024 The proverbial circle of life continues to turn and we might find ourself getting in touch with our own mortality as time moves on.
