The Tuxedo Cats Rocks and Dirt

In this one-year anniversary episode of Rocks and Dirt, we explore the vast musical library of Jimi Hendrix. Steve found it surprising that as a guitar player Todd‘s not more familiar with the songs, Mike is surprised the Jimi Hendrix tunes didn’t make it further up the charts, Todd was surprised the Rocks and Dirt podcast has only been around for one year. As always, you’ll learn behind-the-scenes facts and be more prepared for your next appearance on “Jeopardy!”

Does Kansas have Cornhole? Well, we know Kansas has corn! In this week's installment of The Tuxedo Cats’ Rocks and Dirt podcast, we take a close look at Kansas. Steve can tell you all there is to know about the band, Todd is not sure he cares for the band, Mike host the show and referees the conversation. 

Then, we’re not in Kansas anymore. We’re talking about Cornhole! That’s right, and our friend Fletch joins us to explain all the fascinating details about the sport of Cornhole. You’ll love what you learn on this week's episode of Rocks and Dirt. A production of The Tuxedo Cats®! Can I work Cornhole into this conversation one more time! Cornhole!

This week the cool cats talk about the gangster of love and the space cowboy. Steve Miller is the rock subject of our Rocks and Dirt podcast. For the dirt, we go to the Texas Rangers who open their season with high hopes and a brand new stadium. Mike is so excited, he wore his metal cleats. Put me in coach! It’s Rocks and Dirt!

Deep Purple started in 1968 and are STILL ALIVE! Okay, with an almost entirely different line up, but still! You'll recognize Smoke on the Water, Space Truckin' and Highway Star.

And after Highway Star, we smoothly segue into a discussion about Funny Car races. Seamless! 

Listen as Steve shares his vast knowledge, Todd amazes with techy skills, and Mike starts false rumors.

Celebrating our 30th episode! It's Rocks and Dirt!

An unlikely combination from three unlikely podcasters. Tonight we look at the prolific career of Creedence Clearwater Revival, a band that cranked out 27 singles in about an hour and a half.

Actually, their career lasted a brief four years. But what a string of hits that remains a staple on classic rock stations to this day.

Todd gave us a lesson on bull riding, a sport we knew little about, but learned it’s virtually in our back yard. A slew of dates and venues make bull riding very accessible to east Texans. 

Check your local rodeo. Maybe they’ll play some CCR.

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Southern Rockers from Jacksonville, Florida highlight a show complete with another Florida winner, the seemingly ageless Tom Brady of the surprisingly dominant Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Additional conversation involves the Super Bowl halftime performance of The Weeknd, and the ensuing mixed online reviews.

Turn us on! It’s Rocks and Dirt!

So many Super Bowls, and so many Fleetwood Mac members! Both started in 1967, and both are featured in this week’s Rocks and Dirt!

It was meant to be.

So much information covered in 20 minutes. It’s educational and entertaining. It’s “Edu-taining”.

Even though Todd’s eyes glazed over momentarily during the sports segment, we know you’ll be enlightened by this week’s...

ROCKS AND DIRT!

The podcast had to be edited and reloaded to be accepted by some podcast platforms, so this a short trip backward. Immediately after the passing of Eddie VanHalen, we just couldn't get over it or stop talking about it. Steve and Mike's absence from the studio, didn't stop Todd from calling and continuing the stories that surrounded one of our favorite Rock Bands. So here's some dirt on Sammy Hagar and David Lee Roth. Also, an interesting bit of insight about Spain's yearly celebrated Bullfights!

Mike, Todd, and Steve ring in the yuletide with their favorite Holiday songs! Some you may easily guess, but others are so obscure you’ll wonder if they’re real. Of course, Steve offers behind the scenes insight from everything from the year they released to the roadies’ favorite color.

Coach Joel checks in as well to give us his weekly update on the state-bound Lindale Football Eagles!

All on this weeks Christmasy Rocks and Dirt!

If Mike sounds better on this week's Rocks and Dirt, it's:

 

a) he's been gargling throat coat

b) new pants

c) this week's featured artist is a Beatle!

 

We honor George Harrison on the 19th anniversary of his passing and to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his classic album "All Things Must Pass". So many songs, so little time.

 

Todd's nephew Joel checks in to borrow some money from his uncle, and brings an update on the soaring Lindale Eagles as they fight their way to the top of the Texas High School football state tournament!

 

And we actually edit more of Steve's knowledge than most people even acquire in a lifetime!

 

All on this installment of Rocks and Dirt!
