Life Through Lyrics

An exploration of the history behind some great songs, artists, and bands as well as what their lyrics "might" mean. I will also take time to tell some stories and discuss how these songs have affected me personally, added to my experiences, and shaped the person I have become. Really just a discussion of how a love of music can make your life better and how some great songs came to be in the first place!

    Episode 5 - C.W. McCall and His Music

    This episode features the story of not one song, but the creation of a character that brought an ad executive in his late 40's out of his office and into the recording studio, where he and his band would go gold in 1976. Listen for the whole story, it's quite a tale!

    Episode 3 "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald"

    In this episode, I examine one of my lifelong favorites. Gordon Lightfoot's "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" is by far one of his most famous songs, and has forever immortalized the "Fitz", her men, and the day she was lost. So, in honor of them and the anniversary of the tragedy please listen and enjoy Episode 3!
