This week we finally got back to the normal format after a holiday season of themes and special shows.  But I guess I couldn’t escape the theme mindset, because when I had my final setlist it turned out it was about half full of songs in foreign languages. It makes for a wild trip, and no matter what language you’re gonna feel the grooves.

I hope you enjoy it!

100 shows, man.

When I started the show I had a very specific vibe in mind.  In my younger days, two friends and I that played music together had a longstanding tradition that started when we were roommates and continued on down the years.  We would get some beer, some whiskey, or some smoke and sit around a record player for hours sharing old albums on vinyl.  (con’td ->)  Continue reading 100th Episode! #1501 A Time & A Place →

When I started this show I never thought it’d go to two full seasons and beyond, and as 2014 ends I’m thankful for all of you folks who’ve supported and listened.  Season 3 starts next week with the 100th episode.  I hope you’ll join me to review an album that set me on the path towards collecting old tunes, and so many thanks to all of you who join me each week.  I really couldn’t do it without you!

Here’s the last episode of 2014!

Over the almost two year course of the show I try to keep things all over the place with a lot of variety.  But there are always those artists from the era that I keep revisiting over and over again, so I decided to count them down.  After some tallying, I present to you the top 14 most played artists over the course of my last two seasons.  I was surprised by some of the results, even the top spot.  Hope you enjoy!

It’s obvious to anyone with an ear or eye on media that the Beatles have been a huge influence over the last five decades of music.  Their wave of hits crashed across all genres and it seems like damn near every band has a Beatles cover in their catalog someplace.  So tonight I gathered some of my favorites, and now I present them for your listening pleasure. Enjoy, and Happy Holidays!

So much rock & a lot of fleshtone makes for quite the Archive!

There was a lot going on in NYC tonight, and my set reflected not one bit of it. Whether you’re weathering the cold in the streets or comfortable at home, hope you get some enjoyment outta this one. Be safe out there.

Carve off a slice from these #vintage delicacies, for your holiday or workday!
Help yourself at…

Everyone needs some wiggle room here & there.
Old Time Religion Radio Hour is back LIVE after my brief absence. I’ve got a new daughter, a flask full of whiskey and an hour of vintage rock, soul and more for your aural enjoyment. Damn good way to spend a chilly evening. Let’s boogie.

I spend quite a bit of time each week figuring out what songs I’ll use for the bumper music during the show. It serves to keep the momentum rolling during the bits where I have to do some talking and connect one block to the next. So this week I decided to use the hour to highlight some of the instrumental treasures the ’60s & ’70s left us. Archives below, enjoy and have a great week!
