Hit Me

A Mini Music Memory about the time Mason Williams played a bit of Classical Gas on my first guitar.

Don't know who Les Reed is? I didn't until I read his recent obituary and learned about the great songs he co-wrote and that I've been singing some of them for years.

Three good songs that I discovered and the interesting paths upon which I found them.

Trying something different this week. I discuss Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline without playing the song or reciting lyrics. Just barely.

Hit Me Episode 26 is all about singer and songwriter Bobby Day. It's just not Spring until you hear his signature song. And two other hit surprises from his catalogue.

It's the 25th episode of Hit Me so we're celebrating Hit Me style by featuring all danceable songs that only use two chords. Enjoy!

Hit Me Episode 24 is short and sweet and all about those lines you may have missed on four particular hit records by the Beatles, The Captain and Tennille, Little Stevie Wonder and Barenaked Ladies. The fun continues next week with the Two Chord Dance Party celebrating Hit Me's 25th episode.

Ten years ago this week I attended a great concert by legendary songwriters performing their hit songs at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville TN. I try to recreate some of the magic of that evening in this week's podcast.

Hit Me Episode 22 looks at three songs you thought were written by the artists who made it famous.

We look at and listen to a few good songs that I seemed to have missed when they were popular.
