FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH with Blake Melnick

Send us Fan Mail

Welcome to this week's episode of  #ForWhatitsWorthwithBlakeMelnick. This is part two of my interview with #TomLocke, author of a fantastic new book called #MomentsinTime, an interactive musical Odyssey that traces the history of rock and roll from the forties, right through to the end of the seventies.

In our last episode, Tom discussed his career, his early influences and what inspired his love of music. In this episode, the focus of our discussion is on the book itself. What led Tom to finally write and publish moments in time.

And Tom shares some stories about his journey and the people he met along the way. He also provides some Sage advice to those who have ever entertained the idea of publishing their own book ....for what it's worth.

An astute businessman who founded #IceRecords and built the #BlueWaveStudioComplex. He is of course the amazing #EddyGrant ...For What it's Worth

Welcome to this week's episode of #Thespaceinbetween I'm your host #BlakeMelnick, and I'm really excited to announce that in a few weeks time, we will have #TomLocke author of a new book called #MomentsinTime - stories about artists and songs from the fifties, sixties, and seventies, on our show.

In #MomentsinTime, Tom will take us on a musical journey through the history of Rock n' Roll. What's really cool about Tom's book is music is embedded within the text of the book itself through the use of QR codes. So you can listen to the songs while reading the book. Tom has graciously allowed us to reproduce some of his moments in time on the space in between, and to make available a limited number of signed copies of his book for you, our listeners at a special price.

Here's a taste of what to expect on future episodes of this space in between a moment in time from Tom's book called #ClearasMud...  for what it's worth.

Welcome to this week's episode of #IntheCompanyofReadersandWriters and Chapter 1 of #TheOldGuitar.

Today's episode was inspired by the short story, old guitar written and read by Canadian singer-songwriter, Douglas Cameron.

Some say guitars remember. The wood retains the memory of every note, of every song that is played through them. The older the guitar, the richer the memories, which is why they need to be treasured and savoured, as they are the embodiment of every musician that has ever played them.

How does a man become a story? How does that story become a myth? passed down from one generation to another. What do we add or change, forget or remember, embellish or dismiss as his story changes hands? As the legend grows, what happens to the original grain of truth it sprung from ... and does it really matter? You decide.... For What it's Worth
