This week I'll be diving into a very cool SUPER underrated 60's band that you probably have never heard of before, but the material they put out was top notch, and also, I'm gonna be covering an area of 60's music that i haven't covered in quite a while, and that is doing a Chicago Pop/Rock band, and this week I'll be doing a deep dive into one of their biggest hit songs, here I talk about the chord progression, analyze the lyrics, and then next week, I"ll dive into their history, but also, talk about Chicago Pop Rock Bands in general and their history as well. Also in this episode you will find an update on the whereabouts of my upcoming podcast interviews. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

I hope you had a great thanksgiving Holiday with your friends and family, this week's episode is something pretty special. So it's on a VERY special and rare occasion that I do interviews on my podcast, sometimes I do them, but most of the time I don't, but whenever I do, I try to bring in interesting guests, and most of the time it's someone from the 60's, and why I bring in a music industry figure from the 60's is so that way they can share the story behind the songs they helped create, but they can also share a lot of cool memories about their time in the music industry back in the 60's, but it's also because in 10-15 years, most of these people will be gone and a lot of their stories will not be told unless they go on a podcast to talk about their life in the music industry back in the 60's, and since this is an internet podcast, this will live on the internet forever and will never go away, so future generations will be able to listen to these interviews and see what it was like to be in the music industry back in the 60's, and many times there are learning lessons from these people as they often were taken advantage of by other industry people and many of them did not profit from the massive success they had back then. so hopefully the long lasting systemic trend of people getting royally screwed in the music industry ends at some point, and hopefully these interview episodes will help make that happen, and this podcast episode, I have someone on that shares one of those stories, and it's familiar, but it also shines a light on the unfair treatment women specifically were given in the entertainment industry at that time (even though honestly, men got screwed over too, but women often got the worst of it a lot of times) and it's honestly has been a long time since I had a woman guest on my podcast, but I hope this opens your eyes to some of the awful things that women went through in the music industry at that time, and that just because someone was involved in making hit records, that doesn't mean that they were millionaires as people imagined them to be, cause often times, someone was making a HUGE profit on these records, but was it the people behind the scenes?, most certainly not. Session musicians were like constructions workers. they clocked in, did their work, got paid , they clocked out then they left the studio they were at cutting records, and came home. but instead of building houses or bridges, they were sight reading charts & blasting out songs every thirty or so minutes during 3 hour union sessions at major recording studios, and then hearing their songs they played on on Top 40 radio in their cars just months and weeks and sometimes even days after they played on them, and this week's guest was one of those people. you never saw her name on records, but trust me, she was there and will always be there no matter how many times you hear the songs she played on even after she is no longer here with us. She played some AMAZING flute parts on records that were HUGE and she was also a piccolo player too, so I'm very excited to have her on this week, and if your wondering when I"m gonna do this again, very soon I'll be doing more interviews. Often times I go through long Dry spells of not doing any interviews, then a bunch more come up and I do a bunch more. But to give you some context of exactly what we talk about during this interview, here are the links to some of the songs that we talked about. I will be putting these into the official playlists for this podcast, but don't be afraid to stop and listen to these songs when listening to this interview then come back to listening to this interview, it will help you get better context as to what is being talked about here....

This week's episode is going to cover the history behind last week's group, which was Little Anthony & The Imperials, and some of it is going to be a repeat of a group we did a few weeks ago, but there is something about the career of Little Anthony & The Imperials that you could say about other groups and songwriters of other decades of music other then the 60's, and I talk about that in this week's episode of the podcast, and I also make a special announcement for next week's episode as well for Thanksgiving Weekend, so please stay tuned for that. also don't forget about my upcoming show at Bar Lubitsch in West Hollywood on December 7th. Would love it if you could make that one, but anyways, here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

Hey! so I know It's been a while since I last uploaded an episode, but my birthday was on the 2nd of this month, so as per usual with every year of me doing this podcast, I always take the week of my bday off. so I"m back one year older, and I have some VERY exciting news for you. so I finally have another interview episode that's probably gonna happen next week, so what's gonna happen is that I"ll put out part two of this week's podcast next weekend, and then thanksgiving weekend, I'll release the next interview episode of this podcast, which is going to be with an ORIGINAL Motown session musician from the 60's, and this is a girl and THEE ONLY girl who was apart of the Funk Brothers, but she played some VERY recognizable parts on HUGE Motown hits in the 60's. I'm VERY excited to talk to her because I have LOTS of things to ask her and I hope this interview will go WAY better then the last Motown person I talked to on my podcast, but anyways, so that will be for the week after next week, it will be kind of a special "Thanksgiving" weekend episode of my podcast. so for now, enjoy my analysis on this VERY relevant song to what I was experiencing recently, so this week I"m gonna talk about what makes this song so great musically and lyrically, and next week, I'll dive into the history behind this week's group, so here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

Today I"m doing something on my podcast that I haven't really done before, but I thought since today is Halloween and I honestly didn't have anything major planned to cover for my podcast this week because next week I will be taking it off because my birthday is on Tuesday, and I wanted to do a one episode song and not a two parter one, today I decided to do something for the Halloween Season and cover a song that I KNOW you are familiar with, even if you weren't alive in the 60's, but today, I'm gonna dive into the history behind this record and talk about what exactly happened behind the scenes with the recording session for this song, how they came up with those crazy sound effects that are on this, and the musicians that played on it, and how this record became such a huge hit as well. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

this week we will be diving into a REALLY great song about something universally relatable not just to baby boomers but to young people as well, and to be honest with you, you might not know this one, because It didn't get very high up on the charts and you don't really hear it too much on the radio today, but I will promise you you will love it, and it's actually the POLAR opposite of last week's song. it's also a very intimate chill/acoustic folky country kind of a song but trust me, it's great. next week will talk about the history behind this song and the story behind it plus some behind the scenes information behind the recording session for this song plus the history behind this artist as well. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

hey! so I know it's been a while since I uploaded an episode for this podcast, but I wanted to let you guys know I haven't forgotten about you. I experienced some technology problems again recently, as I was without a computer for an entire week, plus I was undecided as to which song I wanted to cover on my podcast next and I was still waiting on potential interview prospects to be scheduled. so I had to take some time off from doing this podcast but I am back and will be uploading episodes on a regular basis now. this week I decided to cover an area of my podcast that I haven't covered in a long time, and that is instrumental songs. so this week is gonna cover an instrumental kind of song that is more reminiscent of instrumental music of the late 50's early 60's, but it's still a good sounding instrumental from that time, and in this episode, I again explain to you exactly what instrumental music is and why you don't hear too much of it in today's world. and I also talk about the origins of this song and why it's so specific to the time period this song was written in. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:

My apologies if this podcast is coming at ya a few weeks late, I have been trying to figure out what my next interview episode is going to be and for the last few weeks, I have been trying to schedule it out with a guest that I unfortunately misspoke and said that he was going to be the next guest on my podcast. unfortunately I was wrong and he would up postponing our interview for now but the good news is that I was able to secure another guest for this podcast and next week I'll talk more about that and in this particular episode, I said I'm not gonna have any guests for right now, well I was able to secure this guy as a guest after I recorded this episode and it was in the can, so again, I apologize for the abrupt no episodes for the last few weeks. just trying to get my guest thing sorted out. but anyways, in meantime, this week I"m gonna talk about one my favorite 60's groups that recorded LOTS of hits in the 60's and, yes, they were very much a "Southern California" band, so they had that "Sunshine Pop" sound, and this week I"m gonna talk about arguably one of their best songs and next week, I'll dive into their history and get into how the group was formed and their story as well. here's the link to this week's song just in case you wanted to listen to it:
