I just finished reading "This Wheel's on Fire" by Levon Helm. It's his story about being in The Band and seeing it all happen from the drummer's seat. It was a good read, Helm has a great sense of humor.

Diesel Island is playing at Marquart's Landing in Washington, MO on Saturday the 21st. They are scheduled to start around 9:00 p.m. Marquart's Landing is on Front Street, just down from where the Art & Winefest is. Just a word of warning....it will be CROWDED and parking will suck! So get there earl...

What the hell is Way Down Watson, and why haven't I heard it before. Watson is a road in St. Louis that was also formerly Route 66. Along the road was a motel called the "Coral Court Motel." Built in the early 40's, it was Steamline Moderne brick and glass with enclosed garages and was well known a...

T Rex - Electric Warrior. Glam rock at its best!

Hey, Badfinger had 4 hits - "Come and Get It," "No Matter What," "Day After Day," and "Baby Blue" - so I guess that makes them a 4-Hit Wonder And half of those hits were on the '71 release Straight Up . One of the first albums I ever got and still a favorite. I think "Perfection" is one of Badfinge...

Badfinger - No matter what you do, girl. Dang! You beat me to it. Now I'm gonna have that stuck in my head for the rest of the day. I heard one of my favorites today I hadn't heard in a looooong time: Rosewood Bitters by Michael Stanley. Didn't he also do "'This Town" (is my town/St. Louis/alright/...

(Featuring, on bass, Ron Moss, who now plays Ridge Forrester on "Bold And The Beautiful")

I'm guessing you just heard that somewhere and don't actually watch Bold and the Beautiful....

The Band......but only during "The Last Waltz." I'm too lazy to actually play in a band all the time . I always thought Robbie Robertson during The Band era was damn good-looking. Plus, I'd get to hang out with Neil Young (thereby skirting Frenchie's requirement), Clapton, Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Mud...

BTGB I did't listen to the broadcast, but if it's the song I'm thinking of, it's "The Four Horsemen." The version I remember was done by Aphrodite's Child in the 70's. The Four Horsemen And when the lamb opened the first seal, I saw the first Horse. The Horseman held a bow Now when the lamb opened t...
