Hey Ears Try This Out
I present music from 1965 (some digressions) to the current time including Rock, Progressive, Psychedelic, Folk, Hard Rock, Country Rock and anything else I feel like playing from my personal collection. All categories decided by me. It will include short descriptions between tracks addressing artist, song title, album, origin and year. I promise you will hear artists that you’ve NEVER heard before. Do you have to know/recognize the music to enjoy it? GOD, I hope not. I will challenge you, but with the best of intentions. I will NOT play anything I wouldn’t listen to. Trust me EARS. Each show is about 1 hour in length (rare digressions).

Close your eyes...imagine cruising near Fallasburg Park (that's Lowell, MI for non-natives) listening to your 8-track player around 1971-72. These are the sounds that I remember, you? Looking for a party, are ya? Just to make sure of what you may think you're seeing, those are NOT the remnants of anything I had as an 8-track collection. I had a much Better Collection and it is Long Gone!

This is Not a traditional folk show. It is mainly Folk Rock, Indie Folk, Acid Folk, etc. There are some repeat featured artists, but I do not repeat songs. As I always promise, there will be some you have never heard before.

A glimpse into releases of David Bowie from 1969 to 1983. We start off with Space Oddity and end with China Girl. David was 'King of Glam Rock" in the early to mid-70s along with Marc Bolan. What band did David stop from giving up?

More Psychedelic Garage, British Psychedelia and Psychedelic Pop. The range of this show is between 1965-1970. Most of the artists are from the UK. I sneak in some US artists as well. The title is misspelled on purpose. Why? I just felt like it.

All the hits you didn't hear (but thought you would) in the third installment. If you read these descriptions, you already know my philosophy. So, these are 'non-challenge' shows. You should be familiar with ALL of these artists. Don't worry, there will be many challenges ahead. MORE COWBELL, Cheers EARsters!

As they say, "Everything but the Kitchen Sink". Various tidbits with a weird energetic twist. If you know or have heard more than 4 of these artists, you are doing VERY well. Let the Ear Assault Begin! Down the drain it goes...

Or "The Allman Brothers Band Show". Southern Rock would NOT be what it was or what it became without their contribution. Led by the brothers Duane (guitar) and Gregg (keyboards and vocals), they created the category. You could argue that Southern Rock is an amalgam of Country Rock, Blues Rock, Boogie Rock, Jam Rock, etc. It is all of that, but it still stands on it's own and exists to this day. This show is not all Allman Brothers. The usual culprits are represented.
