The Air Force sent dad to Thailand in 1964, and transistor goodies were even more available there at the time than they were here…He sent home a small battery-powered, reel-to-reel so we could listen to the tapes he recorded and mailed to us. But when he returned, he brought home a whole […]

One of my most memorable music moments is making mix tapes from the Gene Shay Show on WIOQ. I don’t think I was ever happier. When I first started hearing Gene, I hated the show. Sunday night, I’d go to my room to start the homework that I’d avoided all weekend. […]

Every moment I have heard and read has been huge and I love hearing and reading them! I could repeat them all! But one I haven’t noticed is when Paul McCartney debuted his classical composition, Standing Stone, in Carnegie Hall on November 19, 1997. He had performed it first in October of […]

I have been in the music business for 30 years, and a huge music fan for 10 years probably before that. So many amazing, wonderful, sometimes stupid and hopefully faithful rock and roll full-on adventures have been the daily fabric of my work life, and sometimes my private life, too. ….just […]

Pink Floyd had been touring for over a year doing the Dark Side of the Moon line-up of songs — although they hadn’t  released the album yet. Everywhere they played, it seemed a bootleg of the concert was released. The album would be released on March, […]

I forget the year. But this was by far the greatest musical experience anybody could have, other than if you were lucky enough to go to a Beatles concert.
My wife and I went to see Stevie Ray Vaughn & Double Trouble at the Mann Music Center. I forget the opening act. […]

We’d had a blast at the Xponential Festival, especially seeing The Cat Empire and Los Lonely Boys. They were awesome! We were watching the unfortunate aftermath of the accident where the stolen SUV plowed into the concession stands, when suddenly the Garza brothers were walking swiftly through the crowd with their […]

I became aware of Bob Dylan probably in 1971, as a freshman in high school. It was much more than the music that I was drawn to, although that was a huge. But what I found most compelling were the lyrics; the stories, the surreal images — the poetry. I knew […]

The death of John Lennon — from the first news reports that he had been shot to hearing a Beatles song on the radio which signified that he was dead — impacted me deeply. It was like losing a close friend. Several days later, friends and I went to the memorial […]

I started following Bruce after seeing the band at the Erlton Lounge in Cherry Hill, NJ in the early 70’s. Becoming instantly hooked I saw just about every show I could. What was amazing was that it didn’t matter where it was or how many people were there, the band played […]
