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 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.

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.

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.
