Episode 11 Protest Songs Special Episode

Special Episode: It’s patriotic to protest and in response to the deaths of numerous African Americans like George Floyd, Aumaud Aubery, Freddie Gray, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin, Breonna Taylor involved with white police officers or those who think they have the authority to take a life, I am moved, in truth infuriated, at the way these brothers and sisters have been killed. This is my protest episode. Weep, scream, do what you need to do to stay sane, but most of all, Protest! Take peaceful action. Get involved to bring about peace, equality and justice for all people.

Episode 10 About Truth

The original hour was recorded in late 2020 during Covid. It was a big election year, ending Trump's first term, when Covid was running wild because leadership didn't seem to care to stop the wildfire. So this is a show with songs about lying, cheating, crying and drinking. Don't be mistaken! It is a program about the great rock albums of the 60s and 70s.

Episode 10: Let’s call this the second season opener. It’s about truth. It’s about honesty…in all things. I’m working on it and see some holes in my life. This one rocks quite a bit with Derek and the Dominoes, Liar, Jeff Beck, Journey and more. Happy listening! Join the Tales Vinyl Tells Album club and get notice of every episode upload.
