Billy Joel, John Fogerty, Bassist David Santos Kills Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson I was so looking forward to catching up with bassist David Santos after almost 40 years. Insane in itself! The sit-down stunningly exceeded my expectations. What crazy fun! David regaled us with story after story… starting with gigging for me on Bleecker Street, doing weddings, The Ringo AllStar Band, sans Ringo, with Billy Preston, Lou Gramm, Mark Farner, Felix Cavaliere, Liberty DeVito, Mark Rivera, Randy Bachman, and a backup singer named Wendy Moten who would change and share his life. They're a rare rock n' roll romance success story, today, 30+ years later. David took us through his 3ish years with Billy Joel, how he got the gig, and how he lost it, 13 years with John Fogerty, how he got it and then lost it, Melissa Etheridge, 7 years, how it got it and lost it, Fleetwood Mac, 1 day, how he got it, lost it, 5 yrs with Crosby, Stills, & Nash, getting it, losing it - does there seem to be a pattern here... yup, hysterically summed up each time. Sure, it's funny now, in retrospect, as David has great perspective, self-awareness, good humor, and humility. He's amassed wisdom to add to his formidable talent, perseverance, and ambition. And he always lands bass up! Unlike me, who literally did an unintended mic drop. As was pointed out, this meaty conversation had comedy, drama, romance, intrigue, horror, heart, and life lessons galore. I could have talked to David all night and still have wanted more. And more, I'll get. We have a face-to-face reunion in the reals with Wendy and Snuffy in Nashville coming up. Can you imagine the music those three could make? Don't know if that's on the menu, but do know we'll be seeing Wendy at the Grand Ole Opry, and sharing great local eats! What a way to ring in my next year! David Santos Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 10/8/25, 5 PM PT/ 8 PM ET Streamed Live on my FB & YouTube Links in the Comments Replay here: http://bit.ly/46TQ3M4 and here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DGNYDGbnpE4&t=3s

This is a Special Episode introducing “Mi Cachimber”, my new single. It's my tribute to my father, Bert Miller. My dad was a self-taught trumpet player. He loved music. He played weddings, Bar Mitzvahs, private parties and the like on the weekends. In particular he loved Latin music. Whenever we were in the car he would always tune the radio to one of the Spanish stations on the AM radio dial in NYC. Spanish music became infused in me. He conveyed his love of music to me, and it was because of him that I became a musician.“Mi Cachimber” features two extraordinary Guest Artists on flugelhorn: Benny Benack III and Dave Smith. Benny is a remarkable trumpet player and crooner who has made a big name for himself on the world stage. Dave is one of the most in-demand session players who has played on several Grammy winning recordings. Together, they have made my song come alive.CLICK HERE FOR YOUTUBE LINKCLICK HERE FOR ALL LINKS------------------------------------------The Follow Your Dream Podcast:Top 1% of all podcasts with Listeners in 200 countries!Click here for All Episodes Click here for Guest List Click here for Guest Groupings Click here for Guest TestimonialsClick here to Subscribe Click here to receive our Email UpdatesClick here to Rate and Review the podcast—----------------------------------------CONNECT WITH ADAM:www.adamblackstone.com—----------------------------------------ROBERT'S SINGLE:“SUNDAY SLIDE” is Robert's newest single.

This week, a special road trip episode featuring Walnut Valley original Pecan Grove campground jam band Old Sound recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. Also, a performance from renowned singer-songwriter and folk music legacy Nathan McEuen. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. A trio of longtime friends and musical collaborators, Kansas City's Old Sound crafts an original brand of liquid folk music. The well-worn trio travels through song with evocative acoustic compositions, imagery-filled lyrics and beckoning three-part harmonies.  The band holds deep roots running back to Winfield, KS where they grew up and cut their teeth in the picking circles and campground stages of the Walnut Valley Festival.  Old Sound continues to evolve and bend the possibilities of modern acoustic music with rich, effects-driven live performances, while also creating a unique sound that could just as easily be heard around a campfire. - https://oldsoundmusic.com/ Nathan McEuen grew up surrounded by incredible music and talented musicians. By age five he started performing with his father, John McEuen (Nitty Gritty Dirt Band), Nathan soon became a natural showman.  With over 40 years of touring, more than 3,000 shows, and appearances on American Idol, The Stagecoach Festival, the Grand Ole Opry, The Tonight Show, Music City Roots, and XM/Sirius Radio, his music has reached audiences around the world. Held in the highest esteem by his musical colleagues, Nathan has shared the stage with an impressive lineup of artists ranging from Bon Jovi to Willie Nelson. In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 1984 archival recording of Ozark original Kenny Sims performing the traditional American Civil War song “Goober Peas,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. In his segment “Back in the Hills,” writer, professor and historian Dr. Brooks Blevins discusses the Ozark roots for one man's inspiration that would ultimately result in the founding of the Grand Old Opry.

This week we feature mandolin player Casey Campbell.  Casey grew up in bluegrass music, literally taking his first steps in Bill Monroe's dressing room at the Grand Ole Opry.  He has performed with many bluegrass bands in Nashville over the years.  We caught up with Casey at the ROMP festival where he was performing with Vickie Vaughn. We'll talk with Casey about growing up in a musical family, his influences on mandolin and his mandolin duo album.

Throwback ThursdayThis week on Dumb Blonde, Bunnie sits down with the incomparable Dolly Parton in what can only be described as a dream episode. Dolly reflects on her Appalachian upbringing, her childhood in the Smoky Mountains, and the lasting impact of her close-knit family. She shares how her Uncle Bill helped spark her early musical ambitions and guided her toward her breakthrough moment at the Grand Ole Opry. Dolly also opens up about navigating the Nashville music scene as a young artist, her lifelong partnership with husband Carl Dean, and the powerhouse empire she's built — from Dolly Beauty and Dolly Wines to her cherished Imagination Library.Watch Full Episodes & More:www.dumbblondeunrated.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Lanie Gardner doesn’t just write songs—she writes pages of her life and turns them into music. After her viral cover of “Dreams” (63M+ and counting), she’s gone from small-town Carolina to the Grand Ole Opry stage, proving that authenticity still wins in a world full of noise. Her upcoming album Faded Polaroids (Sept 5th) is more than just a follow-up to her debut EP—it’s a songwriter’s diary you’re invited to read. It’s messy, it’s vulnerable, it’s real life caught on tape. Along the way, she’s collaborated with Thomas Rhett (What Could Go Right), Warren Zeiders (Loving in Letting Go), and even had Mick Fleetwood play drums on High Divin’. She’s made her Stagecoach debut, joined tours with Corey Kent and Gavin Adcock, and her songs have landed in Twisters and Queen of the Ring. At just 25, she’s already living out prayers she used to whisper—singing Cry (a song she wrote at 16) on tour with Jelly Roll, making her Opry debut, and becoming one of country music’s most talked-about new voices.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
