Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Concert Review 6/10/08
Warning to anyone buying "Box Seats" at The Theater at Madison Square Garden:
It's another way of saying "Balcony". Yes, I was very high. In more ways than one, which shall be explained at the end...
Box Seats mean you will have to endure staring at a huge speaker resembling something out of the "Transformers" movie that will additionally obscure the portion of the stage that isn't already blocked by the fact that you're so far left. And did the woman two boxes in front of me HAVE to lean over the edge blocking my view? Her husband didn't like the fact that I asked her to stay still. Too bad.
Once I adjusted to these visual annoyances--compounded by the multitude of cameraphone flashes going off contstantly--I was able to settle in for a superb performance by two drastically different artists (I don't use that term loosely) who, on paper, should never have worked, but indeed, they do, in part thanks to producer T-Bone Burnett, who was also on stage and got to do 2 solo numbers of his own.
They covered 11 out of 13 tracks from "Raising Sand", and like that excellent CD, took turns duetting and then soloing and then duetting again. The third number was a cover of "Black Dog" arranged like the lead off track "Rich Woman" and it was clear this would be a night of sonic bliss! They did another Led Zeppelin track later that I didn't recognize, but the crowd certainly did.
I was surprised at how STRONG Krauss' voice could be; she naturally did not disappoint on the quieter numbers. No rock belting from her, though, and always on pitch. A joke about New Jersey drew boos, however.....
Plant seemed a bit subdued at times but his voice still had most of its Zep sheen, though there was not a lot of wailing in the show; nor should there have been. This was a show about SINGING and HARMONIES and the two delivered perfectly!
Sitting next to me was a 25 year old avid concert goer; upcoming shows for him included Tom Petty, Neil Diamond, and other "geezer" acts. What a nice young man! He even asked if I minded if he smoked. HUH? And then the theater filled with the aroma of marijuana. I politely declined his request to join him in a toke, but the contact high went nice with the high of the music by two excellent singers.

June 6, 2008 Playlist plus Some Thoughts on the Songs, the Callers, WVKR....
Started the show on a downer with the RFK piece, but I couldn't very well look back 40 years ago today without mentioning the tragic loss our nation and the world suffered. How different things might have been if, ....that elusive "if"....The narration was from the Time Magazine 1968 Special Issue which might still be on the stands.

If Sam The Tattoo Man could take only one Monkees track on a desert, THIS is the one he'd pick??? Many calls continued pro and con. One guy remembered the flip side which I'm playing next week and LOVE! But let's face it, DW Washburn was just a silly piece of fluff, more annoying than funny. Originally a Leiber-Stoller composition? Hey, Sam, sorry I didn't have your request "Come On Eileen".

Well, I thought Joel Tyner wasn't going to show again, but turns out he was just running a little late. Had Sarah the new Program Director on the air for a few minutes. She announced a new show coming on WVKR soon with a mix of salsa, R & B and (oh no....) Hip Hop. Doesn't the station have enough Hip Hop? What do YOU think?
I implored Sarah to update the website to include at the very least correct contact information for the exec staff. It's just a two-person show for the summer, I understand that. But still our listeners are our most important part and we must give them their voice! For example, the station knew it would be down for 8 hours last Saturday. How frustrating that must have been for people tuning in and hearing nothing. I'm sure some people went to www.wvkr.org looking for answers ; woulda been nice if there was an explanation. Oh well, at least the sound was better this week. Mostly.

May 30, 2008 Playlist And Our Thoughts On The Show
http://wvkr.radioactivity.fm/playlist.html?djoid=1633
The link above will take you to the 2-hour May 30, 1968 playlist of the show that aired this afternoon.
We went with a full 2 hour 1968 look back to remember Dick Martin, who passed away earlier this week. Martin was one of the co-hosts of "Laugh In" and the response to the many clips played from that classic series was quite positive.
Only Half positive was the response to Tiny Tim's "Tip Toe Through The Tulips With Me". Hey, every few years or so, it's required listening!
And many of you didn't know Harvey Korman died! Not to mention Earle Hagen who wrote and whistled "The Andy Griffith Show" theme. Talented men will be missed.
Here's a sampling of the phone calls received during the show:
Cream "Anyone For Tennis" no one plays that anymore
Blue Cheeer "Summertime Blues" never get tired of that one, Sammy!
Bobby Vee "My Girl/Hey Girl" it's warped, take it off.
Gary Puckett & The Union Gap "Lady Willpower" I remember singing this at full volume in the car! and Is This one of their Top hits?
Vivian Reed "Yours Until Tomorrow" Who sings this, Sammy? and Who is Vivian Reed?
Cryan Shames "Up On The Roof" I LIKE this version! Never heard it before.
Animals "Sky Pilot" Thanks for playing the long version.
Seekers "The Sad Cloud" Is this Spanky & Our Gang?
Soul Survivors "Impossible Mission" What's the name of this record?
Amboy Dukes "Journey To The Center Of The Mind" The Sugarbeats do a great version of this. and Didn't this song come out later in 68? (Yes, but in Detroit, it was already on the charts 40 years ago this week--sammy)
Jefferson Airplane--Greasy Heart Makes me wanna get out my dusty Crown Of Creation LP
Archie Bell & The Drells--Tighten Up I haven't heard this in a long time! (really?--sammy)
Next week it's Lost And Found EIGHTIES, but maybe not for the full 2 hours as announced. Found out the guest might not be able to make it. Tune in anyway and see what happens.
Also, the station brass is aware of the distorted sound. (Wasn't the quality of Joel Tyner's mic level horrendous???) Hopefully that issue will be rectified soon.

Memorial Day Marathon--What IS Beach Music, Sammy?
Wow, good times, good times...
Friday May 23 was an AWESOME experience for me. Counted down the Top 91.3 Beach Music songs of all time. Yes, there WAS a "point-3" song: "Dancin, Shaggin On The Boulevard" by Alabama.
Went from 3 to 9 pm with just a one hour break from 5 to 6 for the debut of WVKR's new talk show, but ....um....the host didn't show up. The guest did, though! Luckily Noah was there to fill in with some INCREDIBLE 60s garage/psychedelic music. It was his last day at the station; we'll miss him.
Got a few calls wondering how a "Beach Music" show could NOT feature any Beach Boys or Dick Dale tunes! Good question. Here's the answer:
Beach Music is extremely popular in the Carolinas, as far north as Virginia and as far south as northern Florida. It has nothing to do with surf music or the Beach Boys or California. It is mainly R&B music with a beat that is good for doing a dance called "The Shag."
Once again, you listeners came through with your calls. Put several of you on the air which was a LOT of fun. A great way to celebrate my FOURTH anniversary in the time slot following The KING of Friday Afternoons--Primitive George.
See you Friday May 30 for a regular edition of "The Lost And Found Oldies Show" and may I wish CHUCK from NEW PALTZ a Happy Birthday!

Dear Faithful Listeners,
I continue to be blown away by your enthusiasm for "The Lost And Found Oldies Show!"
