#15 Someone Saved my Live in Chicago, For what its Worth

Tommy Fan — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 18:34:25 GMT

I think you will find this one of the better mixes. Not so much of the software games, pretty much a straight read with so neat trivia. I thought it was interesting how many people Carol King wrote for, or what Elton John's Someone Saved my live is about. Or what ACDC went through to get the bell sample for Hell's Bells? And some of the facts behind Chicago by CSN. Interesting stuff. Enjoy!~ Bread - Baby I'm a Want You AC/DC - Hells Bells Carol King - So Far Away CCR - Someday Never Comes Crosby Stills Nash - Chicago John Dever - Sunshine On My Shoulder Eagles - Take It To the Limit Elton John - Someone Saved My Life Buffalo Springfield - For What its worth

#12 Piano Man Treats Her Like a Horse with No Name

Tommy Fan — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 20:21:50 GMT

Little bit more of a mix this week. On the first broadcast, those that heard it, knew that I screwed up a couple of songs, so this is a new remix of that show. I did use the same effects though. Not sure I will stick with them, but it was interesting and the software has some potential. The mix speaks for itself. The Beatles - Come Together The Byrds - Turn Turn Turn Cornelius Brothers - Treat Her Like a Lady Fifth Dimension - Aquarius The Hollies - The Air That I Breathe Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 America - Horse With no Name Doors - Riders on the Storm Billy Joel - Piano Man

Tommy Fan — Sun, 26 Aug 2007 20:54:05 GMT

Curious mix this week. There are three fake bands offered up. Two of the bands had some of the same people! Plus, what is Brown Eyed Girl really about? What pop song was based on the song "The Dying Man"? What song could be a tribute to 3 different women? and some of the story behind Rick Nelson's Garden Party. (talk about caustic!)

#8 Dirty Deeds in a Mellow Yellow Brick House

Tommy Fan — Sun, 12 Aug 2007 19:35:52 GMT

I really enjoyed this mix. And before any of you jump me for Southern Cross, yes I know it was on a 1980 album, but the recording was done much earlier and the album was delayed because Crosby was not included due to low productivity and drug uses. The others proceeded without him and the record company would not release the album until Stills and Nash reinstated Crosby. Who knew!? Mellow Yellow - Donavan Sothern Cross - Crosby Still Nash Dirty Deeds - AC/DC I'm Burning for You - Blue Oyster Cult Turn the Page - Bob Seager Don't Look Back - Boston Have you Ever Seen the Rain - CCR Brick House - Commodores Mama Don't Dance - Dr. Hook Urgent - Foreigner

#2 Blue oyster Cult, Deep, Purple 38 special and more!

Tommy Fan — Sat, 30 Jun 2007 18:02:55 GMT

Ok, this was my second try at putting together something that would be fun and informative. I was still working out the kinks. And remember it was suppose to be kinda tongue in cheek. Never thought it would get to a regular show. Who knew?! So, I decided to always open with Here I Come and close with GreenTambourine. Some pretty good facts and other stuff, but I am always open for more. If you have 60s or 70s rock facts about songs or band, let me know! Hold on loosely - 38 Special Spirit in the Sky - Norm Greenbaum Smoke on the Water - Deep Purple Dont fear the Reaper - Blue Oyster Cult Radar Love - Golden Earring Magic Carpet - Ride Steppenwolf Ramblin Man - Allman Brothers Hold your Head - Up Argent Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd

#1 Mamas, ZZ,AC/DC and Alice plus more!

Tommy Fan — Sat, 23 Jun 2007 06:11:43 GMT

Ok, here we go! Now, relax, this was my first try. I have played with this program on WRFR for a couple of months and got some laughs and got some fans. But instead of doing what I did with my first podcast (starting in with the latest episode) I thought that I would start right from the very first mix. So the facts and info are terse, but still interesting. The mix was right off some of the old mix cds I used to make. Enjoy here is the list Monday Monday Sleeping Bag You Shook Me All Night Long School Out House of the Rising Sun Paranoid Down on the Corner Smoking Gun I love you to want me Nights in White Satin And just so you don't get confused in the coming weeks...I always open with Here I Come and close with Green Tambourine
