    Episode 34 - Farewell to Bess & Erica's Rock 'N Roll Music Hour

    Well this was a difficult show to put together. I enjoyed the 2 years my grandmother and I devoted to doing our special show but in observance of the one year anniversary of her death I think it's time to bring our show to a close. It doesn't mean I won't do episodes to honor her and my grandfather's birthday but I felt it time to end Bess & Erica's Rock 'N Roll Music Hour. It just isn't the same without her and never will be. So on this episode I bid farewell to our wonderful show and spent 12+ hours putting together all my favorite parts of ALL 24 episodes we did together. I hope you enjoy this special show and just a HUGE thank you to everyone that was involved in making our show so special (in order of appearance on the show): Fast Mollasses Nora Lee Hayter Loyd Lanning The Hazelwoods Ethan Shane Sunshine CJ Ramone Denver Dalley Miwi La Lupa Josh from Grimey's Shannon Pollard Cheetah Chrome Linnea Quigley Dave Cantrell Jennifer Armstrong   I covered her song: "A Little Girl's Dream of Nashville" And thank you as always to every single listener and fan of our show and us. We love you. Goodnight.   And as always please download all our songs for FREE here: https://soundcloud.com/bessielanningofficial https://soundcloud.com/erica-case1

    Episode 30 - Special Guest: Sam Karkanen

    On this month's episode we have special guest, California artist/illustrator/popular Instagramer: Sam Karkanen! She took a moment to audio respond to a few questions I asked her about her artwork and social media presence!  I also asked her to choose the song I covered for this episode and she chose a favorite of mine by one of my idols: Joan Jett. Which I thought was so cool considering we don't personally know each other and she could read me so well, ha! I sing: "Bad Reputation" By: Joan Jett Here's a few of my favorite pieces: Thank you SO much Sam for taking the time to be on my show and I love your work so keep it up and stay f****n' awesome!

    Episode 28 - Happy Birthday Floyd Lanning! with guest co-host Shannon Pollard

    It's November again and time to celebrate my grandfather Floyd Lanning's birthday, which was on the 9th! It would be his 94th, to be exact, if he were still living. I also had the honor and pleasure of sitting down with past special guest/ Eddy Arnold's grandson, Shannon Pollard, and having him as my guest co-host!  And he took part in the celebration by honoring his graparents' wedding day that happened this month as well on the 28th! What a wonderful and special episode we got to share along with sharing the sentiment of honoring our amazing and talented grandparent's. As I mentioned on Shannon's guest episode, Eddy Arnold was my grandfather's musical idol so this is pretty cool I got to share a couch with his own grandson. Thank you so very much Shannon!   Intro: "Boquet of Roses" - Eddy Arnold Cover by: my grandfather, Floyd Lanning   I cover: "Jim, I Wore a Tie Today" - Eddy Arnold (download FREE at: http://soundcloud.com/erica-case1 ) My grandfather in the 70's and his guitar A lovely wedding card from Eddy and Sally's wedding day in the 40's Eddy Arnold and his guitar   Get all my grandfather's music and Eddy covers at: https://soundcloud.com/floydlanning Keep up with all things Eddy Arnold at: https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=official%20eddy%20arnold%20site
