July 27, 2026 Linda Mills

Hi again and welcome to another Tales Vinyl Tells. This is an ear-pleasing excursion into the great music from the albums of the 60s & 70s. Sometimes outside those decades too. and we’re celebrating life more these days with some tunes that might describe my ways …or not…maybe they do yours too. Each of these songs from my Celebration of Life playlist have a connection with me. It’s a playlist for my celebration of life service, whenever that times comes and it is inevitable. And sure, there are some that are just great tunes, like Affinity’s version of All Along the Watchtower with the really nice keyboard action from Lynton Naiff. Even Green Day to-day. This is episode 195, I’m Brian Hallgren and in this hour, we’ll share “some” of the Tales Vinyl Tells, celebrating life every day. I’m glad you’re here. I’m glad I’m here.
