  • Episode 018 - Footloose-y Goose-y
    Hello again! This episode has the first appearance of my wife, Laura, as the co-host and daughter, Norah, as producer. We aim to talk about Kenny Loggins and his hit singles from Footloose and Top Gun. Things go off the rails quickly as the neighborhood dogs invade the recording causing unnecessary chaos. I forget the most of the actors in Top Gun. The term stunt dancing comes up. Then, finally, our votes are mentioned for the better of the two Loggins songs. Definitely a Footloose-y Goose-y affair!Find my page on Facebook: The Musical Spot E-mail: [email protected]/Show Notes: themusicalspot.substack.comThanks for listening!

  • Episode 017 - Album Battle - Reckless vs. Into The Fire
    First, I want to say I am back to creating more podcasts. The break was involuntary due to family and illness. My voice and creativity are here again. I thought I lost this episode, so it could be my “lost” episode. It could also be called Amazing Grace, once lost now is found.So, this album battle is two LPs from one person, Bryan Adams. The contenders are Reckless (1984) and Into The Fire (1987). Enjoy as I go through each LP, track by track.Facebook: The Musical SpotE-mail: [email protected]/Show Notes: themusicalspot.substack.comThanks for listening!!
