ROCKOLLECTIONS: A CELEBRATION OF WINTER PT.1

For years now, I have wanted to do at least a couple of shows on my favorite season, Winter.
But things always intrude.
You have the Christmas and New Year Holidays, and after I recover from them I am usually onto the Tribute/Memorials to all those who passed away the preceding year and have some link to Rock & Roll or our culture.
Well, I cannot wait any longer.
So get your gloves, boots and scarves out, because I will attempt to prove that, although there are far less of them, Winter songs are as literate, poetic, touching and good as Summer songs.
Please join me for this, the first of 4 parts, of our Winter Carnival Of Music!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: A TASTE OF BREAD PT.1

Oh man, here’s an old show I found from 2005.
I remember it was the first show after New Year’s, and I wanted to give those throbbing heads and hangovers a break.
So I picked a sort of mellow group to do, Bread.
But make no mistake- this is well-crafted, melodic music that I like a lot.
They were very, very good at what they did!
There are vinyl songs to be heard in here.
And in putting the show together I discovered a song called Aubrey that has become one of my favorites by this band.
So join me as I sounded 5 years ago…any difference?
Tell you one thing, I sure as hell couldn’t read this day, lol!
There is a Part Two to follow.
