Tales Vinyl Tells podcast Episode 141: Dickey Betts Salute , A Sleigh Ride On Nantucket? Details Here
April 27, 2024







The proverbial circle of life continues to turn and we might find ourself getting in touch with our own mortality as time moves on. This week I reminisce, as I often do hearing this music. The sense input usually brings up feelings, emotions, thoughts, people, smells, tastes, sometimes things I could have done better or differently. But the music doesn’t change and that’s why I enjoy doing this podcast and radio show. If you love the music of the 60s & 70s and want to financially support this exploration into that music, you can surf to Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. You’ll feel good when you give. (IMHO). Thank you!
There are many ways to hear these great tunes: Live on RadioFreeNashville.org Wednesdays at 5 pm Central time, all the podcasts of the radio program(many times extended versions) can be listened to anytime, anywhere at StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells, on Apple podcasts, PlayerFM, iHeart and many podcast apps.

Episode 140: Another 15 Million Unit LP, Long Time Since Phoenix Flew And More
April 19, 2024







The ironies in life… This hour-long show just played on RadioFreeNashville.org and yesterday I was informed that Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band had passed away peacefully. He was 80. Jaimoe is the soul survivor of the original ABB now. The irony being that this particular episode started off Wednesday on radiofreenashville.org talking about the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East sessions from the summer of 1971. In fact, the second and third tunes from that session, on this episode, are from those Fillmore East fabulous concerts. If you didn't catch it during the live radio show, I was living in South Florida and was hanging out with some people I would call cool and we were doing a lot of concerts (and a fair amount of extracurricular recreational things). The concerts were affordable, like five dollars to eight dollars and we didn't mind traveling an hour to the Miami jai alai fronton to see the Allman Brothers Band live. That allowed plenty of time to get our heads right. It was a big party! It was the Fillmore East sessions! We were blown away. And in the first three months that the double album was on the market, it's sold a half million copies. I still have mine and you probably know I'm in love with it! Stormy Monday is a killer, you don't love me is a great jam and the four sides contain wall-to-wall great southern rock.
By the way, Tales Vinyl Tells plays Wednesdays at 5 PM Central time on 103.7 and 107.1 FM around Nashville and streams live on RadioFreeNashville.org and here. Replays can be heard on the StudioMillsWellness website, iheart, playerFM, Apple, Podbean.com(our RSS feed host) and most of your good podcasting apps.

All you listeners and especially you financial supporters, I want you to send me your favorite artist(s), favorite songs, memories etc. What I’d like to do is put together a special private podcast for the financial supporters. Ya dig? I asked my bud Vince to do that a few years ago and you can hear the Vince Playlist on episode 92. He’s no longer with us which makes his list that much more valued. Dig in.

Episode 137: Nostalgia: "A Sentimental Longing Or Wistful Affection....
April 3, 2024







…for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations”. Yeh man! Like the 60s & 70s. Playing for change remakes songs with musicians from all over the world with sometimes odd instruments, did you enjoy Joy of Cooking? Not the book, but the band. They’re here with a few nostalgic pieces just for you and your silly nostalgia. I’m in the present and love a lot of things about the past. The Doors and Zeppelin on windowpane. Allmans and shrooms. I do hope these tunes today will make you smile and encourage you to be grateful for all you are, here, now.

Episode 136: The Vince Playlist
April 3, 2024







My friend, Vince, went in for heart surgery and I made sure to see him beforehand and wish him the best. That was the last time I saw him. They couldn't fix his heart valve. So our only choice was to mourn. Luckily, before all this, Vince told me that he had all the Tales Vinyl Tells episodes up to that time loaded into his car and he listened to them when he needed some good music that made him feel more alive. I asked him what some of his favorite tunes and artists were. He made a list of 10 songs or so and gave a little comment about pretty much every one of them and he's been gone for over a year now, I still miss him, and his comments, his choices, some of his favorites, are included in this hour of Tales Vinyl Tells. His peaceful spirit can be seen on his bench looking at the pond.

Episode 135: Another Leg In The 7 Continent Tour 2024, The Dark Continent & Europe
March 21, 2024







In this 3rd leg of the 7 Continent Tour of 2024, it’s a visit to the African continent and a jump to Europe. Music from the group Africa, Paul Simon, John Mayall and more than enough to fill your ears with an hour of the great LP cuts from the 60s and 70s mostly. Enjoy!
Thank you, financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells and of me. Your appreciation of this historic music means a lot to me. To hear tunes from 50 or more years ago still sound so good that bring back memories is a nice break from the news of today, sometimes good and sometimes awful.
