  • Episode 166:New Version Of An Old OneNovember 20, 2024I hope you’re well and ready for some music from a lot of West Coast bands today. You know, we dig into these great albums of the 60s and 70s and some of you younger listeners may not have been on the Earth at that time. You know, just a little gleam in your daddy’s eyes? So hello to you younger listeners today . A lot of us were brought up listening to this music that we’re gonna hear today and some of us are getting to hear it another time. If it’s new to you, just dig it! I like to play many album cuts of mostly familiar songs but I do like to throw in some new songs or songs that we really don’t hear that much back in the day. Oh! I never thought I’d use that phrase “back in the day“but there it is. We’re going to hear from Crosby Stills Nash and Young, a Monkee, yes they can be trained, Nashville’s Orleans and quite a number more.As always, I want to thank all the supporters of this program who monthly contribute through Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. I bow to you, thank you and invite everyone to check out how you can show your love for this awesome music of the hippie generation, whether you were there or just get down with the albums of that time.Remember that Tales Vinyl Tells can be streamed as it happens on RadioFreeNashville.org Wednesdays at 5 Pm Central time and all the episodes are listenable and downloadable on your favorite podcast app (I say probably), just don’t try Spotify. They say it doesn’t allow them to pay their millionth of a cent royalty to artists and I get that. So whatever they say, they remove it so you’ll just have to listen elsewhere. Like Podbean.com or PlayerFM or maybe even StudioMillsWellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells. Take your pick or pick your take. Rock on, take care, stay well and be nice. BH

  • Episode 165: Survived Another ElectionNovember 14, 2024We are back again with another expedition into that great album rock of the 60s & 70s here on Tales Vinyl Tells. This expedition has been going on for quite a while now, the podcast version since December 2019. The radio version premiered in the spring of 2022. I vaguely remember the evenings during this music’s time when we’d visit a friend in our apartment complex and we’d burn some while putting on some Carole King or James Taylor or Stones or better yet, Sgt Pepper’s. The smell of incense, a lot of times, could mask the weed aroma and I played the psychedelic Smell of Incense from the West Coast Pop Art Experiment Band along with Graham Nash, some jazzy numbers from Seals and Crofts and Victor Wooten, and the closer is a very rocky one from The Rascals that is really good. Hope you enjoy all that!Show your love for the great album rock of the 60s and 70s by becoming a monthly contributor to Tales Vinyl Tells. Learn more at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. Thank you so much, especially you who already contribute monthly and I hope you feel really good supporting this effort to enjoy what I think is the best creative music of this generation.You can stream Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at five central time on Radiofreenashville.org.

  • Episode 164: Salute To Steve Winwood, Including Dave Mason, Manassas, Marc Cohn EtcNovember 9, 2024The version that was heard on the live stream Wednesday evening at 5PM on RadioFreeNashville.org was an edited replay of TVT #20, which was diggable August of 2020.

  • Episode 162: Saluting Kristofferson, Lesh, Sergio, John DavidOctober 29, 2024The hourglass is filling with sand. I’ve been working on this one over the past couple weeks and got the word that Phil Lesh passed, I knew that I needed to finish up and get the salutes ready. These four had unique lives and affected millions around the world, like many of the artists from the 60s & 70s did. This hour is a major tease. Do you have a story or memory of any of these artists that you might want to share? A Dead concert maybe? Or some piece of trivia? My email is [email protected].

  • Episode 163: The Adventure Began!October 26, 2024This episode reflects back on the beginning, episode 1, that premiered in the winter of 2019. 38 Episodes later, I realize how many new beginnings we can have in a lifetime. Repeats, reruns, whatever you want to call it, we get a chance to do things differently, over and over again. Lotta woo woo there, I know. I’m preparing for a radio gig for Tales Vinyl Tales (hoping for the best) and I find no better place to get ideas than the beginning, the past. With some additions and subtractions, this episode has Moody Blues, Bonnie Raitt, Spirit and more.

  • We are probably all, in my opinion anyway, a friend, maybe even a hero to someone but we can’t all be famous. And that may well be a good thing. In the meanwhile, we can keep the fires burning, the love-light burning and the circle turning. Maybe even keep the desires yearning.Here are some memory-joggers, just some of the great music we had and heard on LP from the 60s and 70s.If you want to support this podcast, my story is at patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport.

  • I want to begin this podcast teaser with a plea for your generous donation to my good friend, Jessica, who lost her home in the Asheville, NC flood. Her gofundme page (link below) tells some of her story. The trauma, heartbreak and sadness of that weather event can leave marks on a person forever.

When you donate, you'll be able to keep up with the power of the human spirit when updates are posted and see what love can do!

  • On December 20, 2019, I released episode 1 of Tales Vinyl Tells so when this episode was released, you might say was our First Birthday. That has me thinking, “If TVT was born on 12/20/19, wouldn’t this be the 2nd birthday?” Regardless, we’re up and away with the 2nd leg of our World Tour 2020 as we buzz around the US including Kentucky. I want to honor my friends (and they’re sisters), Karen and Kim, some mighty kind and fun Kentucky women. Next stop is Brazil with a classic and some new ones. Cuba’s nice to visit and the Caribbean is hurricane-free for right now, so a good time to visit. I bet you will hear at least one song today that you’ve never heard before and one that rings a bell but not loudly. Many are classics and it’s all fun! Hope you’ve enjoyed these so far and had as much fun as I have in putting them together for you.






  • This is the first leg of the 7 Continents World Tour that actually played on podcast episode 23 in January of 2020. At that time, I posted on StudioMillsWellness.com, “Sure, it’s imaginary but it’s safe and healthy and has some pretty good music in it. Climb aboard! The upcoming episode or more will include visits to Brazil, Cuba, the Caribbean, Europe, Asia and now you can name the other continents. Today, we hear coast to coast, to Canada and Mexico. Hope you enjoy what you hear. Remember, its in stereo so don’t be afraid to listen well and volume it up.”Catch up on all the episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells on the above page and on most podcast apps.

  • Episode 155: How Long Has It Been Since You've Heard These? Ever?September 7, 2024In a recent conversation with my friend Bonnie, she said how hearing a certain tune brought back memories of a time long ago, who she was hanging out with, what music he was listening to (and the B-52’s Rock Lobster was driving her crazy). He played it over and over, saturating his beloved partner. But she smiled as she said some of the things she hears on Tales Vinyl Tells stir up some good memories. So there it is, folks. The album rock of the 60s & 70s was some memorable stuff. Just think about the bell bottoms, the John Lennon-type glasses with purple lens, psychedelic headbands, pungent smells in the air covered by sandalwood or nap champa incense, beads hanging in doorways instead of doors. Oh sure, it’s all very nostalgic. Great songs fill this and every hour of Tales Vinyl Tells.

Hope your ears will get happy listening.

  • Episode 154: A Little Fame, Some Little Moon TunesAugust 31, 2024This is the last day of August and another hot MF but I’m starting to see some, no kidding, color changes in some dogwoods and maples, way out on the tips. I’m certain the temps will chill a bit, soon. We have had some nice weeks this summer where the temp didn’t get to 90, and the past week we saw 102 in Nashville. Even with some time off and away, the music rolls on. This one is no exception. The recent blue supermoon was worth celebrating and we have 3 more supermoons this year! So there are some moon tunes here and speaking of blue, we’ll hear from The Blue Flames with their leader, Georgie Fame. You know there’s so much more.I’ve been on a get out the vote jag for years and I encourage you to be sure you’re registered, you know what’s on the ballot and you know where to vote and when.

  • TALES VINYL TELLS PODCAST AND RADIO PROGRAM:Episode 151: Some Of This Music Causes Sensual ExcitementAugust 6, 2024Suppose that gets your attention. It’s true though, don’t you think? Haven’t you heard a song here on Tales Vinyl Tells or somewhere else and your brain just carries you back to a person, an event, an aroma, an experience? The goal on this podcast and radio program is to allow you to just dig the music from the albums of the 60s &70s and do what you want with it. I’m enjoying rediscovering the classic rock, a lot of it hidden behind the hits on an LP, and hearing things I’ve not heard before (and there are lots of them). One of those I’ve never heard before and on this show today is Arzachel, a group who also called themselves Uriel. Backstory is here. There’s a jazzy Spirit one, we’re gonna have us a Champagne jam and a few about San Francisco.Thanks to new financial supporters of Tales Vinyl Tells, including JP, John, Amy, Gecko and yes, I’m gonna keep ‘em spinning.

  • Episode 148: There Were 37....June 28, 2024There were 37 episodes of Tales Vinyl Tells that I recorded and posted only on the StudioMillsWellness.com website from the first in December 2019 til March 2022. That’s the month that I started doing a live weekly radio program at RadioFreeNashville. It was and remains today based on the great LPs of the 60s especially, many of which I had in my own library. When I started with RadioFreeNashville, I was confident that all royalty details were legit and I then got on Podbean.com who distributes my program to Apple, iHeart, Player FM, Spotify (they no longer use because of their pay structure to artists), and many other podcast services. This is a lot of what you probably don’t really care about but there’s a reason I tell you this. (Exhale) This episode and many in the future contain a lot of the music in those 37 episodes that didn’t get much more play on TVT after #37 because I try to repeat as little as possible. I have no playlist but, oh yes, I do have favorites. One of them is the Doobie’s Another Park Another Sunday. So there are a lot of great tunes I’m bringing into the light these days. Here we’ve got a Song in the Key of Life, one by a one-man band, two from a couple great musicians from the Atlanta area and played important roles in Atlanta Rhythm Section and Classics IV. Santana does a great Classics redux. And there’s one about a little yellow pill that your momma took which kept her cool. Mine did not take those tranks. She should have. Anyway, hope you dig it. Next week is the 4th of July and we’ll have our celebration for you then, but for now dig these tunes, man! AND, I almost forgot. The JIMJAM this time is Nights in White Satin. Join in! Listen live to Tales Vinyl Tells Wednesdays at 5 PM Central on RadioFreeNashville.org.Thank you, everybody, who donates monthly to me and Tales Vinyl Tells. It isn’t free to make this program happen and your support is a really nice gift to me, I appreciate you! If you think this is a worthwhile venture into the great album cuts of the 60s & 70s, you can donate a little or a lot at Patron.podbean.com/talesvinyltellssupport. My deepest thanks to you!

  • Tales Vinyl Tells PodcastEpisode 147: Juneteenth SpecialJune 20, 2024Here it is again. My annual salute to the celebration of the end of slavery on June 19, 1865 when Union General Gordon Granger read federal orders in Galveston, Texas that all previously enslaved people in Texas were free even though the emancipation proclamation had formally freed them almost 2-1/2 years earlier. This was a very significant event but was replaced by Jim Crow laws that still today hamstring the lives of many previous slaves’ families. My hopes are that when you hear The Negro National Anthem, Lift Every Voice and Sing, you’ll feel something inside reminding you of the concept of freedom and justice for all.Financial support of Tales Vinyl Tells is greatly appreciated and it helps to offset the expenses that it takes to put this program together.

  • Episode 142: The Album Rock Of The 60s & 70s Doesn't Get Old. Only We Do, If We Allow It.May 4, 2024

    MAY THE 4TH BE WITH YOU!

    The aging process on humans is real. What we do and don’t do may play a big part in how that process affects us or not. The vinyl LPs of that era and the new ones being purchased today will last a lot longer than the color in our hair or our smooth and youthful skin. All I’m saying is that the age of rock is so wide and varied, from Elvis to Zappa, we have a lot of ground to cover in these short one-hour shows. And, who knows, maybe listening to the music of our youth may give a moment in time when we can enjoy those times or not. Admit it, it wasn’t all bad. If you have some input, like my friend, Puh-’mella did, let me know your taste in music, who/what/when. Email all your comments to me at [email protected] you’d like to hear Tales Vinyl Tells as it plays live on RadioFreeNashville.org, tune in Wednesdays at 5 PM Central time to stream us live. The podcasts are all available at http://www.studiomillswellness.com/tales-vinyl-tells, on Apple podcasts, podbean.com and a whole bunch of good podcast apps.
