Welcome to Seven Notes of Separation! In each episode, song one and song seven are listener submitted and we connect these two songs using five other songs, all related to the next somehow. In the end, we will have connected song one to song seven.
The final episode of Season Four of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast connects two songs once again. Alone Again by Dokken start things off and was sent in by my friend, Jason Gick. Song seven is one of my all-time favorites from the 1980’s, The Reflex by Duran Duran, sent in by Jason Herndon of the KISS My Wax and KISS My Kollectibles Facebook groups and podcast. Helping us wrap things up today, we get some help from Billy Joel, Neil Young, and Jon Bon Jovi. We’re closing it out strong!!!!
Today’s theme is simple…party time. Episode 47 of the Seven Notes of Separation begins with a toast…Bottoms Up from Van Halen starts the festivities thanks to our great friend, Eric Alberty. Craig Smith of the Pods and Sods Network submitted the Ween track, Your Party, which wraps up our show. Party-goers today include REO Speedwagon, Brian May, and producer Roy Thomas Baker. B.Y.O.B.!!!!! See you there!!!!
We hit rock, soft rock, jazz, hard rock, an instrumental, and more on episode 46 of the Seven Notes of Separation. Song one today was submitted by Hans Rees of Lafayette, Indiana’s Frank Muffin…Stiff Competition by Cheap Trick gets us rolling. Song seven comes from rock trio The Winery Dogs…Blake Watts loves Regret, the song, not the feeling. Drummers Ringo Starr, Peter Criss, Steve Gadd, and Allan Schwartzberg help us connect it all today. Drummers rule and so does this show…enjoy!!!
Holy cow, today’s episode of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast will lift you up!! We go to church for my mom, as she sent in the Hozier tune, Take Me To Church. It seems like an easy connection to connect a song about church to a Stryper song, but Byron Alzamora made it tough on us this week when he sent in the Stryper classic, To Hell With The Devil, to close out episode 45. Leading the congregation today from song one to song seven will be Europe, Rival Sons, and Don Dokken. Please, join us!!!!
We have a bit of an 80’s extravaganza on episode 44 of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast…only one song is NOT from the 1980’s this week. We start with a gem from Blue Murder. Jelly Roll opens episode 44 for friend of the show, David Cathey. Closing out episode 44 is an amazing pop song from Howard Jones. No One Is To Blame and Amanda Burke knows this as she sent in our show closer today. In order to connect Blue Murder to Howard Jones, we’re going to use Peter Gabriel, Edie Brickell, and AC/DC. Won’t you join us??
If there was ever a Seven Notes of Separation Podcast episode that surprised me, it’s this one. We start Episode 43 with a song from Indiana’s own Bill Novack, who wanted to hear Elvira by The Oak Ridge Boys. Our friend, DJ Higgins, requested we raise the bar for the show closer and bring the heat…so we close with Five Minutes Alone by Pantera. If you’re gonna connect The Oak Ridge Boys to Pantera, you’re gonna need help. Thankfully Eddie Money, Geddy Lee, and Steve Jordan give us the help we need to make this show memorable and possible…check it out!!!
A varied roster today as we start the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast with Goin’ Down by The Monkees for my hometown buddy, Jason Webb. Our show closer goes to the man who shares our content more than anyone else in the world, David Cathey, who wanted to hear Superconductor by Rush. Connecting The Monkees to Rush was a challenge, but Stevie Ray Vaughan, Iggy Pop, and Run DMC give us all the help we need. Don’t be afraid…good stuff in this one!!!
My mom loves Metallica. That’s apparent as she submitted our first song today, Enter Sandman. We’ll start there on Episode 41. Song seven is one of the newest songs we’ve featured on the show, and it was sent in by our friend, Tara La Follette…My Demons by Starset. Connecting Metallica to Starset, we get some help from Filter, Guns N Roses, and producer, Bob Rock. Lots of great music in this one…don’t miss this episode of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast!!!!
We go over the hill (and out to sea) this week with Episode 40 of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast. For song one we take a trip with CSN to see the Southern Cross…that one was sent in by my sister, Carey Bennett. The final song today is going to be tricky…actually. It’s Tricky by Run DMC, sent in by back-to-back contributor and still a Seven Notes Of Separation All-Star, Gayle Zech. Connecting CSN to Run DMC requires help from Ron Nevison, Jake E. Lee, and Bruce Kulick. Join us each and every episode to see if we can make the connections once again this week!!!
Episode 39 comes out of the gates running with the Foo Fighters and their song, Run, which was sent in by Seven Notes of Separation all-star, Gayle Zech. We wrap it all up with a laid back classic from the Black Crowes, Thorn In My Pride, a song sent in by our friend, Craig Swearingen. Connecting these two, we’ll touch base with Elton John, the Pointer Sisters, and Pearl Jam among others. Check this one out…and enjoy!!!
Episode 38 of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast begins with an epic Metallica classic, One, which was sent in by our great friend, Tara La Follette. At song seven today, we have one of my favorite songs of all-time, the Living Colour gem, Cult of Personality, also a favorite of Allen Tate of the Ages of Rock Podcast. Between these two tracks, we fill in the holes, linking everything with help from Robert John “Mutt” Lange, Anthrax, and Tommy Thayer. This is a great show…check it out!!!
We begin Season Four of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast with a pick from our friend, Scott Crouch, who sent in song one for today, Dogman by King’s X. We eventually make our way to song seven, which was sent in by Hans Rees, guitarist and singer for Frank Muffin…his pick was the Led Zeppelin classic, Nobody’s Fault But Mine. In between these two gems we’ll hear picks from Ratt, Queen, and the Rolling Stones. Season Four starts right here with Episode 37…join us!!!
Episode 36 is our Season Three finale and we go out with a bang!! Our friend, Jack Adkins, sent in our first song, the 1981 Motley Crue classic, Too Fast For Love. I've been from coast-to-coast with Jason La Follette and seen some crazy things, but seeing J.D. Wilkes at Jason's wedding in early 2020 was one of the best things ever. J.D.'s band, Th' Legendary Shack Shakers, close the show and Season Three with South Electric Eyes for Mr. La Follette and I couldn't be happier. Connecting all of this madness, we get some help from Free and KISS, plus a few more surprises. THANK YOU for listening and supporting and sharing our show!! We TRULY appreciate the love!!! See you in Season FOUR....coming in early 2021!!!!
Episode 35 already looks funny on paper...we start with an early 90's Rush classic, Roll The Bones, for our soon-to-be Florida transplant and constant supporter of the show, Chad Weil. We'll wrap it all up and Make Love Out of Nothing At All with Air Supply to close the show for our great friend, Amanda Burke. Between the two you'll hear stuff from Meat Loaf, Brand X, and the cast of Jesus Christ Superstar. One of the more challenging shows to complete...hope you love it!!!!
There are 7.5 x 1018 grains of sand on Earth and we begin Episode 33 with one of the best...Sand by Phish, for our great friend, Melanie Ramsey. Our vinyl-collecting, music-loving, Hoosier buddy Chuck Englert directs us to our final cut today, Me And My Arrow by Harry Nilsson. How do we get from Phish to Nilsson? With a little help from Aerosmith, Elton John, and Prince...a fantastic show for all!! Enjoy!
Episode 33 is what this show is all about...music that isn't overplayed!! Our good friend Will Walker sent in a song by Mountain and it ISN'T Mississippi Queen!! That's where we start. Conversely, we'll end up with maybe THE MOST POPULAR James Brown song of all-time for one of the best musicians I know, Jason Gick. Along the way, the chain has links from Tom Waits, Frank Zappa, and Prince. Lots of stuff that may be new to you on this one, but it all ties together. Check it out!!!

In Episode 32, Jason Herndon of the KISS My Wax - A KISS Vinyl Collecting Group & Podcast has a favorite KISS song. You'll never guess it, but we'll start the show with it. We'll eventually connect it to a Willie Nelson classic, a pick my mother made, and she hates country music!! How do we connect them? We'll use Steve Lukather, Michael Jackson, and Lionel Richie and a whole bunch more!! This one was fun. Hope you enjoy it!!!!
In Episode 31 of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast, we take a trip down Electric Avenue to open the show with Eddy Grant for our good friend, Bill Novack. After visits with Peter Frampton, Sting, and Phish, we'll finally make our way to the Tower of Power gem, You’re Still a Young Man for another great friend, Patrick Mulvaney. Who else helps make the chain today? Listen and find out!!
In Episode 30 of the Seven Notes of Separation Podcast, we start the show with Hero by Ozzy Osbourne for our friend, Jason Herndon over at the KISS My Wax - A KISS Vinyl Collecting Group & Podcast.

Who else is part of the linkage? Check out the show and find out!!!
