Hard Working Boys: Dire Straits, Coldplay, and Wally Pleasant!!!
Dire Straits put out one of my “Favorite Songs of All Time” on their “Love Over Gold” album. The song features tricky wordplay along with many catchy riffs. There’s plenty of factory “sound effects” to make the song sound authentic.: … Continue reading
“Theme Attic” Shuffle: Shania Twain, X, and Charlie Gracie!!!
Every show on “Theme Attic,” heard every Wednesday morning from 10A-12N EDT (http://www.whfr.fm/images/stream_audio.html) has an eclectic range of music! Here’s a perfect example for today’s show! On Shania Twain’s [Hall of Fame] first tour, I was lucky enough to get … Continue reading
“Time? I Ain’t Into Time, Man!”: The Prefab Messiahs, Procol Harum, and The Monkees!!!
A perfect(?) graduation song for today’s show is by The Prefab Messiahs, who are on their own timetable! For their first album in 32 years, they have included a very funny video release of the title track, “Keep Your Stupid … Continue reading
Memorial Day Remembrances: Percy Sledge, B.B. King, and Billy Joel!!!

Ok. I like to keep things upbeat and positive, but be forewarned that the next video, may not be what you’re used to seeing here. But it is impressive. Not since “Willie” by Nora Jane Struthers earlier in the year, … Continue reading
Los Lobos, Real Estate, and Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Bands Provide the Heat on This Whiplash Autumn Day!!!
I saw Los Lobos [Hall of Fame] on Austin City Limits last weekend and I can’t get “Chuco’s Cumbia” out of my head! The band does a fundraiser for The Ark in Ann Arbor in a couple of weeks, too. … Continue reading
A Buddy Holly Connection: Bobby Vee, The Knack, and (of course), Buddy Holly!!!
One of the performers who became forever linked with Buddy Holly [Hall of Fame] after he died in that fateful plane crash, was Bobby Vee. He filled in for Buddy as a “replacement” in Moorhead, Minnesota at the concert that … Continue reading
Unlikely Pairings:The Ramones, Brad Paisley, and Secret Colours!!!
With the recent passing of Tommy Ramone, it seemed appropriate to revisit my favorite Ramones’ [Hall of Fame][GSER] song “Blitzkrieg Bop!” The band was all about garage band rock n roll. Just straight up with no solos: Chicago band Secret … Continue reading
