You may be aware of the unwritten, but highly enforced radio regulation in commercial classic rock radio, that dictates a certain pair of songs must always be played together, in sequence. I know you already know which songs I’m referring to: Led Zeppelin’s “Heartbreaker” and “Living Loving Maid (She’s Just A Woman)”. Apparently, there are…

Hard to believe it’s already September, but it is. Just past the American Labor Day holiday, and an unofficial kick-off to fall. So what does that mean? Here in Sacramento, it was 84 degrees at showtime, so it doesn’t really feel like Fall yet. Maybe it means I can’t wear my white slacks and white…

This show was totally packed with music. How packed? Well, 55 songs full, that’s how much. We were “forced” to go into double overtime to get it all in. (If you don’t know what I mean by overtime, much less double overtime, give a listen to my show, and you’ll hear it happening right after…

You may have noticed that this Tuesday night show of mine doesn’t have a name. Every other time I’ve done a radio show, I’ve named it. I’ve given my shows fancy names like “Twirl”, “The Tuesday Night Diner”, and “The California Diner”. Ok, full disclosure: those are the only other shows I’ve done. So why…

It’s August, and the air in Sacramento has been hot and smoky. Just tons of pollution due to all the forest fires in Northern California. August came in like a lion–or more to the point, a dragon–I have no idea what it will go out like So this was a good opportunity to close all…

This show was a minor milestone for me–show #25! Yes–the 25th time that the gatekeepers at Woody Radio let their guard down and let me sneak in undetected and enabled me to do a show! This was also the last live show before a two week hiatus (of which we are in the middle of,…

It seems that tonight’s show was brought to you by the letter “H”. Why? Well, because we played Juliana Hatfield, Robyn Hitchcock, and then ended our double overtime(!) with a 3 song run of honeychain (featuring Hillary Burton), The Handcuffs, and then Jimi Hendrix. It wasn’t an intentional theme, but just a little something I…

Summer is heating up all over, and on Tuesday nights at Woody Radio, we try to provide a suitable soundtrack. Lots and lots of great new 2018 music continues to roll in, and I am more than happy to share it with you. Here’s a little secret. Victor Sotelo, of the great Fresno band Sparklejet,…

As luck would have it, this show fell on Independence Day eve, so as our own Boris would say, it’s our “Indie-pendence Day” show! And yes, most of the music played on this show comes from the great independent artists out there whose music should be played alongside the well-known artists who’ve influenced us all.…

On this week’s show, it was all about the music. Which is different from normal, where it’s normally all about the music. Ok, maybe not so different, because I am always all about the music. But on this night, I managed to squeeze 57 songs into a show that clocked in at under 3 hours…
