ROCKOLLECTIONS: IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE PT.2 END

After the Intermission, we continue with 1946’s It’s A Wonderful Life and the project of inserting an updated Rock & Roll soundtrack into it.
And it is true, I did have a box of tissues nearby.
After all these years, this Movie still gets to me!
I’ll pick it up precisely where we left off, with the Wingless Angel Clarence learning about George Bailey, Bedford Falls, and more.
And I’ll take it from there to the stirring, beautiful ending by Frank Capra, who was so good at writing and directing Movies he inspired a word, “Capra-esque”.
By the way, what was Clarence’s last name, and what did he write in the Tom Sawyer book he gave to George?
I can’t believe I finally did it…what has just been an idea for so long.
And again, thanks for the help from others, particularly to Pete Fornatale of WFUV.
As always, I hope you enjoyed my effort to bring you something a bit different from regular Radio.
Merry Christmas To All, And To All A Good Night!

Mike

ROCKOLLECTIONS: WOR-FM, THE FIRST COMMERCIAL FM ROCK STATION PT.3

We will continue this week with the celebration of that First Commercial FM Rock Station, WOR-FM.
I mentioned last week, a union strike over a new pay scale for FM jocks prevented the hired DJ’s to go on the air.
They were anxious to go on that first day, July 30th 1966, but not allowed.
On the 2nd day, July 31st 1966, WOR-FM did a very strange thing.
They started running announcements explaining their position and predicament regarding this labor dispute.
Very very unusual in Radio, where silence rules the day!
You know what I mean- your favorite DJ suddenly disappears…and there is no explanation, hell no MENTION of him or her ever again!
But here was WOR-FM treating us as if we were intelligent, and giving us a look at what was going on behind the scenes.
That foretold well what was to come, as WOR-FM would treat Rock & Roll and us like adults- even if we weren’t yet adults, lol!
And I’ll have a continuing look at my Radio hero, not the only one but certainly the most important to me, Scott Muni.
You’ll hear Scott do a couple of short ads for concerts regarding then contemporary artists.
Back then there were virtually no concert venues, and the Fillmore East was 3 years away!
Concerts in New York City were limitted to discotheques (with dancing and a house band), small clubs in the Village, probably best of all were colleges, and long trips away from the city.
Also, I am sure you have heard of him as a Disc Jockey for many decades- but how about my man Scott as a Newsman/Sportscaster/Weatherman?
It’s in this episode…plus LOTS of Music Of The Period!
I hope you are enjoying this look at Radio History, because I am having a ball!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE SOUNDS OF PETS PT.1

Since I have been on vacation, a REAL traveling around vacation, not just one from radio like before, here’s an old show from 2006.
I did it for the 40th Anniversary of the Pet Sounds album, so add 4 years to everything I say, lol!
It was, and still is, a landmark album.
And it is commonly accepted as the challenge to the Beatles that resulted in Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.
That fact alone makes it worth a listen.
Plus, even before the Beatles, the Beach Boys (always underrated because of their Surf Music beginnings) had developed into a self-contained group- writing, producing, arranging, etc., their own music.
So, the first of two parts on a Classic Album.
An album you will hear me read about, comment on, and most importantly, play.
Frankly, I think I talked too much, lol!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: PSYCHOTHERAPY LEFTOVERS PT.1

Well well, August 25 is the 12th Anniversary of my being at the same station.
12 years…those people there REALLY need Psychotherapy!
These are some of the Psychotherapy Leftovers we never got to in the other chapters, and I must tell you, this is one of the strangest half hours of musical selections I have ever done.
Certainly the most somber in those 12 years!
I just went where the free-form Muse took me, and that was a weird place.
So you are forewarned, and the next and Final episode will be much different, more normal.
I started with a song for me, one that has been an old friend for many years.
Then, for some reason last week, I flashed back to a time in 1970 or 1971 when Scott Muni, then with the 2-7PM slot and also the Program Director at WNEW-FM, chose to replace for a day Jonathan Schwartz who couldn’t make it for his 10AM-2PM show.
Scott was unbelievable that day, maybe because it was a different time with possibly a different audience.
He played fantastic old sets he had done in the past where the music went together perfectly, plus terrific new ones.
It was great Radio!
And another of those defining moments that set the stage for how I present music.
One 2-song set stayed with me for all these years, an incredible segue that I will re-create here.
Janis Ian’s “Insanity Comes Quietly To The Structured Mind” into Dory Previn’s “Mr.Whisper”.
One a song about a ledge-jumper suicide, the other dealing with a Mr. Whisper who has an “apartment” in a lady’s head!
Normally I don’t tell you what I am going to play and ruin the surprises, but in this case I figure no one will know those songs anyway, so what the hell, lol?
That’s it, I am tired of writing, so you are on your own.
But I cordially invite you to hear undeniably the oddest, but not the worst, first half of a show I have ever done!
And that’s saying something for me, lol!
There is a Darkness here, and I DARE you to listen!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE CYCLE OF LIFE PT.8 CONCLUSION

We have been through a lot together during this trip around The Cycle Of Life.
But nothing, and no one, lasts forever.
And when I started this four weeks ago, I had no idea when Easter would be.
So it is joyful serendipity for me that it should end during Holy Week.
That’s just me, I am not pushing anything.
But Happy Easter & Passover everyone!
This is a topic you will rarely hear on the radio, but I’m not afraid to delve headlong into it.
And I want smart, adult, passionate-about-our-music listeners who can handle it.
It is Death.
We have lost people in the last few weeks who may have meant something to us, some did to me, others maybe to someone else- Robert Culp, Fess Parker, Johnny Maestro, Alex Chilton, Peter Graves, Ron Lundy, etc.
And a good friend of mine lost his mother.
You will hear me state deliberately in this chapter, without mentioning specific names, that I could say at ANY TIME that we have recently lost people who have touched us in some way.
It is a generic statement, continuously valid.
I hope you have enjoyed the journey, as The Cycle completes.
Without further ado, it is Time To Die!
The End.
Or is it…?

ROCKOLLECTIONS: THE CYCLE OF LIFE PT.5

Resuming our series, last week we had the actual Wedding, this time a look back at that memorable day with a couple of songs that do so very nicely.
Starting with a gorgeous song that due to the horrible, sorry state of radio these days, received virtually no airplay.
I wish it weren’t so, but it is doubtful you have heard it- if you have please try to let me know.
It is by Martha Trachtenberg, whenever I have played it for friends it gets quite a reaction, and alone is worth the price of admission.
Wait, what price of admision, lol?
Then we will continue along the Cycle Of Life with Having Kids Of Your Own.
Maybe that was the reason for the Wedding…wink, wink!
The kids grow up quickly and sooner than expected are ready to move out on their own.
So, what we  have here are some musical reflections from that lifelong bachelor and noted authority, ME, on Child Rearing!
Damn, that strikes me as funny, lol!
Stick with me folks, we are working our way through the ups and downs of things past or things to come, in The Cycle Of Life.

Longtown Sound 625 The Sunday Edition

1 John 11-24
Love One Another

11. For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another.
12. Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous.
13. Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you.
14. We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.
15. Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
16. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
17. But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?
18. My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
19. And hereby we know that we are of the truth, and shall assure our hearts before him.
20. For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.21. Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.
22. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.
23. And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
24. And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

Psalm 91 (King James Version)

1. He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6. Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9. Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
12. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
13.Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet.
14. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
15. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
16. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

James 5:13-16 (KJV)

13. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

Psalm 10
1. Why, O Lord, do you stand afar off? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
2. In arrogance the wicked hotly pursue the poor; let them be caught in the schemes that they have devised.
3. For the wicked boasts of the desires of his soul, and the one greedy for gain curses and renounces the Lord.
4. In the pride of his face the wicked does not seek him; all his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
5. His ways prosper at all times; your judgments are on high, out of his sight; as for all his foes, he puffs at them.
6. He says in his heart, “I shall not be moved; throughout all generations I shall not meet adversity.”
7. His mouth is filled with cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue are mischief and iniquity.
8. He sits in ambush in the villages; in hiding places he murders the innocent. His eyes stealthily watch for the helpless;
9. he lurks in ambush like a lion in his thicket; he lurks that he may seize the poor; he seizes the poor when he draws him into his net.
10. The helpless are crushed, sink down, and fall by his might.
11. He says in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has hidden his face, he will never see it.”
