Tales Vinyl Tells-”stories record albums convey”

June 5, 2025 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 hour is a major tease.

Episode 189: One Of The Main Musical Topics Of The 60s: Protest! May 6, 2025 One nonviolent way to show one's displeasure/disgust/disagreement is to protest. In a letter to the editor, written in a blog, by contacting your lawmakers, taking it to the streets and there are many other ways. Pete Seeger was known for his songs protesting mistreatment of workers and war itself, and over time there has been a great abundance of songs and actions of protest. Marvin Gaye, CCR, Nina Simone, Dylan, Lennon and many others wrote and performed their protest songs from What's Goin' on?, Blowin' in the Wind to Fortunate Son, Give Peace a chance and Strange Fruit. In the future you'll hear an episode of Tales Vinyl Tells dedicated to protest songs. Please send your ideas to me at TalesVinylTells@gmail.com and yours may well be included. And when you email me, please be sure to let me know who and where you are. I mention protest songs because we kick off with a real kicker from Quicksilver Messenger Service and include Petty, Joni, Cheech, Chong, Nick and more. Thanks for listening.

It's another Tales Vinyl Tells! You've heard a lot of these before and they are so much fun to hear again! This is Episode 188: Come Along With Me And Let's Dig Some LPs! April 22, 2025 We loved sitting around after work in the late 60s and early 70s and checking out the new LPs that were flooding the market and heard on great radio stations like Mother-WMUM, KSAN, WSHE. The album cuts ranged from King Crimson and Captain Beefheart, a new Beatles, and we'd track from front to back. So many great cuts that just didn't find room on the air. Here on Tales Vinyl Tells, I remind you how great the album cuts were and still are. Moody Blues were bringing the eerie sound of a mellotron, Hendrix' candle was burning brightly, and Seals and Crofts were turning people on to the love in their music and their faith in Bahá'í. Man, we've got all that here with each episode. Donald Fagen and his music is here too, today. Hope you enjoy! I want to say thank you to all the financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells.

TALES VINYL TELLS PODCAST Episode 186: It Was A New Year, 2023! Salute To Christine McVie And More April 8, 2025 Looks like we made it to a new year. I was beginning to wonder. Last year had some good, some sad but the best thing is that is ended. I had a Covid Christmas, lost a couple really good people, like my 30 year old niece, my 62 year old friend, had a melanoma on my head and it was just a weird year. I did though get my chance to bring Tales Vinyl Tells to RadioFreeNashville and the world. Now a chance to regain momentum. Here we have a salute to Christine McVie and her time in public performance. She had a distinctive voice, you could probably tell the songs she penned and she brought life to the rock world. She is missed. One tune she did in her time with Chicken Shack in 1968 is here and I think you'll recognize it. All in all, here's some great music to kick the year off with.

Episode 173: PCOC Day 4 With Johnny Winter And, Tom Petty And The Heartbreakers and Fleetwood Mac! January 7, 2025 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.

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 first off, Robin Trower, The supergroup The Best, ARS and many more.

  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 listening to this music that we're gonna hear today and some of us are getting to hear it another time. If it's new to you, just dig it! I like to play many album cuts of mostly familiar songs but I do like to throw in some new songs or songs that we really don't hear that much back in the day. Oh! I never thought I'd use that phrase “back in the day“but there it is. We're going to hear from Crosby Stills Nash and Young, a Monkee, yes they can be trained, Nashville's Orleans and quite a number more. As always, I want to thank all the supporters of this program who monthly contribute through Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. I bow to you, thank you and invite everyone to check out how you can show your love for this awesome music of the hippie generation, whether you were there or just get down with the albums of that time. Remember that Tales Vinyl Tells can be streamed as it happens on RadioFreeNashville.org Wednesdays at 5 Pm Central time and all the episodes are listenable and downloadable on your favorite podcast app (I say probably), just don't try Spotify. They say it doesn't allow them to pay their millionth of a cent royalty to artists and I get that. So whatever they say, they remove it so you'll just have to listen elsewhere. Like Podbean.com or PlayerFM or maybe even StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells. Take your pick or pick your take. Rock on, take care, stay well and be nice. BH

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 friend in our apartment complex and we'd burn some while putting on some Carole King or James Taylor or Stones or better yet, Sgt Pepper's. The smell of incense, a lot of times, could mask the weed aroma and I played the psychedelic Smell of Incense from the West Coast Pop Art Experiment Band along with Graham Nash, some jazzy numbers from Seals and Crofts and Victor Wooten, and the closer is a very rocky one from The Rascals that is really good. Hope you enjoy all that! Show your love for the great album rock of the 60s and 70s by becoming a monthly contributor to Tales Vinyl Tells. Learn more at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you so much, especially you who already contribute monthly and I hope you feel really good supporting this effort to enjoy what I think is the best creative music of this generation. You can stream Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at five central time on Radiofreenashville.org. And all of the episodes are free and downloadable on many podcast apps and of course at studiomillswellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells. Dig this hour!

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'll enjoy this, the original #20…again. There's Supersession music and Heart as well as the above. Here's the full length episode. I could dig your support if you want to help with the costs of running a weekly radio show and podcast.

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 hour is a major tease. Do you have a story or memory of any of these artists that you might want to share? A Dead concert maybe? Or some piece of trivia? My email is TalesVinylTells@gmail.com. In case you've let it slip your mind, you can hear the initial radio show Wednesdays at 5 PM central time on RadioFreeNashville.org or on an actual radio at 103.7 in Nashville. The stream is more dependable and worldwide. If you'd like to help pay this program's bills, I welcome your sustaining monthly support. $5, 10, 25 a month helps so much.

Thank you, Linda!

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 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.

We'll also catch Ry Cooder, Bonnie Raitt, Alan Parsons, the Beatles and many more. “Share”, “like”, add a comment and start a discussion if you please. Feel free to join in on the conversation. This originally was Episode 27, released January 20, 2021, Inauguration Day. It's the final leg of the World Tour that started in 2020.

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 support this podcast, my story is at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thanks for listening and contributing.

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, you'll be able to keep up with the power of the human spirit when updates are posted and see what love can do! Thanking you, in advance. https://gofund.me/10ebc396 “ I believe ‘21's gonna be a good year”. That's where we started this episode as we continued our World Tour 2020 and led into 2021. Today we recreate this program as 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, which was on episode 26 but didn't have time for it here. 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. You can financially support this podcast and be greatly appreciated by going to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport and pledge as little as $5 a month, which will help pay the bills and keep the lights on. Thank you for supporting the great music of the 60s and 70s, mostly, and things that are deemed appropriate. Tales Vinyl Tells has been alive since December 2019.

Thanks for listening!

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 is available at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.

Tune in and turn it up!

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 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.

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 continents. Today, we hear coast to coast, to Canada and Mexico. Hope you enjoy what you hear. Remember, its in stereo so don't be afraid to listen well and volume it up.” Catch up on all the episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells on the above page and on most podcast apps. You could even financially support this podcast at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. With that, I say a ginormous “thank you”!

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 as she said some of the things she hears on Tales Vinyl Tells stir up some good memories. So there it is, folks. The album rock of the 60s & 70s was some memorable stuff. Just think about the bell bottoms, the John Lennon-type glasses with purple lens, psychedelic headbands, pungent smells in the air covered by sandalwood or nap champa incense, beads hanging in doorways instead of doors. Oh sure, it's all very nostalgic. Great songs fill this and every hour of Tales Vinyl Tells. If you appreciate this podcast a whole lot or even just a little, you can show your love by supporting it when you check out Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.

Hope your ears will get happy listening.

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 time off and away, the music rolls on. This one is no exception. The recent blue supermoon was worth celebrating and we have 3 more supermoons this year! So there are some moon tunes here and speaking of blue, we'll hear from The Blue Flames with their leader, Georgie Fame. You know there's so much more.

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.

TALES VINYL TELLS PODCAST AND RADIO PROGRAM: Episode 151: Some Of This Music Causes Sensual Excitement August 6, 2024 Suppose that gets your attention. It's true though, don't you think? Haven't you heard a song here on Tales Vinyl Tells or somewhere else and your brain just carries you back to a person, an event, an aroma, an experience? The goal on this podcast and radio program is to allow you to just dig the music from the albums of the 60s &70s and do what you want with it. I'm enjoying rediscovering the classic rock, a lot of it hidden behind the hits on an LP, and hearing things I've not heard before (and there are lots of them). One of those I've never heard before and on this show today is Arzachel, a group who also called themselves Uriel. Backstory is here. There's a jazzy Spirit one, we're gonna have us a Champagne jam and a few about San Francisco. Thanks to new financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells, including JP, John, Amy, Gecko and yes, I'm gonna keep ‘em spinning.

Episode 148: There Were 37.... June 28, 2024 There were 37 episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells that I recorded and posted only on the StudioMillsWellness.com website from the first in December 2019 til March 2022. That's the month that I started doing a live weekly radio program at RadioFreeNashville. It was and remains today based on the great LPs of the 60s especially, many of which I had in my own library. When I started with RadioFreeNashville, I was confident that all royalty details were legit and I then got on Podbean.com who distributes my program to Apple, iHeart, Player FM, Spotify (they no longer use because of their pay structure to artists), and many other podcast services. This is a lot of what you probably don't really care about but there's a reason I tell you this. (Exhale) This episode and many in the future contain a lot of the music in those 37 episodes that didn't get much more play on TVT after #37 because I try to repeat as little as possible. I have no playlist but, oh yes, I do have favorites. One of them is the Doobie's Another Park Another Sunday. So there are a lot of great tunes I'm bringing into the light these days. Here we've got a Song in the Key of Life, one by a one-man band, two from a couple great musicians from the Atlanta area and played important roles in Atlanta Rhythm Section and Classics IV. Santana does a great Classics redux. And there's one about a little yellow pill that your momma took which kept her cool. Mine did not take those tranks. She should have. Anyway, hope you dig it. Next week is the 4th of July and we'll have our celebration for you then, but for now dig these tunes, man! AND, I almost forgot. The JIMJAM this time is Nights in White Satin. Join in! Listen live to Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at 5 PM Central on RadioFreeNashville.org. Thank you, everybody, who donates monthly to me and Tales Vinyl Tells. It isn't free to make this program happen and your support is a really nice gift to me, I appreciate you! If you think this is a worthwhile venture into the great album cuts of the 60s & 70s, you can donate a little or a lot at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. My deepest thanks to you!

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 very significant event but was replaced by Jim Crow laws that still today hamstring the lives of many previous slaves' families. My hopes are that when you hear The Negro National Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing, you'll feel something inside reminding you of the concept of freedom and justice for all. Financial support of Tales Vinyl Tells is greatly appreciated and it helps to offset the expenses that it takes to put this program together.

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. All I'm saying is that the age of rock is so wide and varied, from Elvis to Zappa, we have a lot of ground to cover in these short one-hour shows. And, who knows, maybe listening to the music of our youth may give a moment in time when we can enjoy those times or not. Admit it, it wasn't all bad.

Tales Vinyl Tells podcast Episode 141: Dickey Betts Salute , A Sleigh Ride On Nantucket? 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. This week I reminisce, as I often do hearing this music. The sense input usually brings up feelings, emotions, thoughts, people, smells, tastes, sometimes things I could have done better or differently. But the music doesn't change and that's why I enjoy doing this podcast and radio show. If you love the music of the 60s & 70s and want to financially support this exploration into that music, you can surf to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. You'll feel good when you give. (IMHO). Thank you!

Episode 140: Another 15 Million Unit LP, Long Time Since Phoenix Flew And More April 19, 2024 The ironies in life… This hour-long show just played on RadioFreeNashville.org and yesterday I was informed that Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band had passed away peacefully. He was 80. Jaimoe is the soul survivor of the original ABB now. The irony being that this particular episode started off Wednesday on radiofreenashville.org talking about the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East sessions from the summer of 1971. In fact, the second and third tunes from that session, on this episode, are from those Fillmore East fabulous concerts. If you didn't catch it during the live radio show, I was living in South Florida and was hanging out with some people I would call cool and we were doing a lot of concerts (and a fair amount of extracurricular recreational things). The concerts were affordable, like five dollars to eight dollars and we didn't mind traveling an hour to the Miami jai alai fronton to see the Allman Brothers Band live. That allowed plenty of time to get our heads right. It was a big party! It was the Fillmore East sessions! We were blown away. And in the first three months that the double album was on the market, it's sold a half million copies. I still have mine and you probably know I'm in love with it! Stormy Monday is a killer, you don't love me is a great jam and the four sides contain wall-to-wall great southern rock. By the way, Tales Vinyl Tells plays Wednesdays at 5 PM Central time on 103.7 and 107.1 FM around Nashville and streams live on RadioFreeNashville.org and here.
