Peter Shares A Lois Update

This week’s column is going to be a little unusual, in that I will not be sharing any music. I suggest that you go through some older columns of mine or Pat Blythe’s or Frank Gutch Jr, for example, and you will find great music to listen to. There is a lot of amazing music being made all the time, and it’s not on mainstream radio. That doesn’t mean that it’s not worth seeking out and listening to! Check out “Ivory Hours” or “James Blonde” or “Vajra” or “Hotel Mira” or “Jailbirds”, to name just a few!(Your ears will thank you.)

GARY PIG GOLD Knows THEY AIN’T HEAVY…

It may well have been 48 years ago this month that Sgt. Pepper started going in and out of style. But possibly just as importantly – and equally entertaining, to say the least! – that hippity-heady month of June 1967 also saw another batch of northern British Invaders jettison their nice neat suits and throw a Technicoloured frock or two over the entire proceedings.

DOUG THOMPSON: CONFESSIONS OF A PROFESSIONAL ROCK AND ROLL INTERVIEWER – BITS AND PIECES, ODDS AND SODS AND WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE WHILE YOU’RE AT IT

OK, this is as good a place as any to admit this – I’m probably as close to being a ‘hoarder’ as you can get without actually being featured on the TV show.  No, I don’t have piles of decades old newspapers and I can actually walk through my entire house without following a prescribed path through all the debris.  My so called ‘hoarding’ is specifically related to materials from my 40+ years in the radio/advertising/interviewing/television industries.
