*A holiday spectacular of this size and scope takes a very special cast and crew! Special thanks to my esteemed yule-time side-kick and speed organist Jesse Crawford, our house-band leader Jimmy Jules, the always sacrilegious National Lampoon Radio Hour, all of the carolers who have unwittingly joined together to celebrate and most importantly

You.

Merry Christmas!

"A long, long time ago.

*The Nes was for me, one of those musicians who's passing hurt beyond hearing bad news. Like John and David, they were as much the suppliers of happiness, advice and companionship in my life as my friends and family - correction - they we're also my friends and family. In some small way, I think they know that. God Bless You, Monkee Mike.

Enjoy the show!

"Just a boy and little girl

Trying to change the whole wide world"

*John Lennon is the artist who most connected with me. Spoke to me. Spoke for me.

December 8th, 1980 was hard then and now, and as I sat alone in the darkened studio tonight , I wanted to pay RFW respect to a fallen friend - but not by just playing his hits or again talking about his life/death.

I decided to seriously attempt to spiritually reconnect with my musical muse, starting the show with a telling tune from the still stark and stunning POB lp and then asking John to help guide me to the songs and artists that followed. 

I can't find the words that can describe the loss - so no words were used.

Listen back to the results - I believe it worked.

Imagine that!

*Our lp du jour was the Bellaphon/Bacillus Records 1971 release Journey To The Center Of The Eye, the debut of the English - German hybrid-band Nektar. The snap and pops of my original teenage vinyl and the production by Dieter Dierks still sends me out there!

"I couldn't stand this bland sound any more so I walked towards my deck to turn it off

All I could see was the B-side of the disc

which had assumed a doughnut shape with the label on the outside rim

I reached for the arm which was less than one micron long

but weighed more than Saturn

and time stood still

I knew I had to escape but every time I tried to flee,

the record was in front of me"
