ROCKOLLECTIONS: MAY FLOWERS PT.5
from WLSO.FM May 21, 2008
Although this was broadcast on the regular Tuesday, I recorded the show on a very rainy Friday. Once a year we all get together for a breakfast, lunch or dinner- in this case it was a breakfast. Where it was announced that our little Rock Lives/Rockollections had won an award for Best Entertainment Show for 2007. I don t know how or why, and hell, I think there are too many awards given out nowadays, lol! But I am grateful, and it is always nice to have your efforts recognized. It means I must be doing something right. And the award was even framed, lol. Since I was at the radio station, after the breakfast and festivities, wired on coffee, I thought I d try to find a studio and record another show so I wouldn t have to come back on Tuesday. As I say, it was pouring outside that Friday, giving me the perfect opportunity to open up with an old song about Flowers and Rain by the Move. Followed by Simon t leave out. I particularly liked the segue of this short set. After that, a song even I am surprised I played, lol! Followed by a very very early, pre-hiccup, almost unrecognizable tune by Buddy Holly & Crickets. Closing things out with a country tearjerker, but a darn good song, about a drunk driver who finally finds a reason to bring his lady flowers. All things considered, probably a good representation of what we do musically that won us that award! Mike Click HERE for full size picture
