Well I love the fact that in this digital age, songwriters can release their new material within weeks of the original idea which for me was approximately 5 weeks ago. This song was inspired by the sudden life threatening health issue that was discovered out of the blue and man did my life’s perspective instantly change. This song kept haunting me and begged to be written. Not knowing my long term future was, I went into my studio and with Michael McLean’s help, “I’ll Let Roy’s Song Carry Me Home” became my potential “Happy Trails” song. At this point, the real life ending is a lot happier than the song’s ending but I love when real life becomes art. Thank you all for the support!

Lyrics

I'm not a wannabe cowboy
And I'm not at home on the range
I like to fish, but that's about it
And Cowboy hats make me feel strange
But the road took a turn that surprised me
And I'm more than just down on my luck
If I was a drinkin’ man, I'd probably take my van
Down to the bar that's surrounded by trucks
Though I never liked country songs much

So I can't soothe my soul in a bottle
My woman I'd never forsake
I'm not church goin' and God isn't showin’ me
Where guys like me catch a break
So I'm here on the highway just drivin'
But I'm feelin' Roy Rogers nearby
He's smilin’ at me and singing a melody
And I'll be damned if I know why
It kind of makes me wanna cry

And the wind is whispering a farewell, all night long
But there's something comforting me in this darkness
It sounds in my head like some old country song

I stop for gas and pick up a soda
I pull back onto Route 70
A deep brand of lonely got his arms round me
This ain't how the end's supposed to be
But then Roy and Trigger are with me
And showin' the trail I should go
This one ain't happy as I hoped it could be
But I don't feel so all alone
I'll let Roy's song carry me home

I'll Let Roy's Song Carry Me Home

It has occurred to me that this Rockollections Show will not go on forever.
Some day, for some reason, it will end, as everything does.
So rather than wait to play particular songs in a Theme, or finding a reason to play them, I have decided to go for myself and just play them because I want to!
These are Favorites of mine encountered over the many years I've been listening to Music, and some may be just Guilty Pleasures on my part.
Included in this opening half are some what I named "Rock Me Out Bed Songs".
Because they literally would do just that, lol!
I invite you to my home, sit anywhere, and listen while I play some tunes for Valued Guests!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL1- FAVES AND GUILTIES PT.1

It's simple this time.
There are many songs we know very well, maybe were Big Hits.
And some were Originally done by other solo artists or groups.
In a lot of these cases that is a big surprise, unknown to us.
In other cases, we know or have heard about these Originals.
I will be playing as many as I can fit in.
One great memory, there is a version of a Folk Ballad in here that Engineer Ken and I flipped over.
It just arrived at the station one day, unexpected and a real find.
That's it...simple as that.
Enjoy!

Mike

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL1- THE ORIGINALS PT.1

The simple continues.
Songs we know very well, Originally done by other solo artists or groups.
And I am pretty sure I have at least a couple of surprises in this Episode.
Notice I am calling this Volume 1.
That's because there are so many of these, I should be returning to The Originals in the vague future.
They are Educational, Interesting and Fun.
All good reasons to return!
But please do enjoy this one!

ROCKOLLECTIONS: VOL1- THE ORIGINALS PT.2

Well it only took many years, but I finally realized in time to do something about it!
A show that has been bouncing around in my head for all those years, dedicated to the Kentucky Derby coming this Saturday.
So there will be much horsing around, and even imbibing in that famous Traditional Beverage.
There are some listeners who think along with me in these Free-Form Radio ventures.
And I am sure they figure there is a Rolling Stones song I HAVE to play.
I am going to throw them and everybody else a surprising curveball with that one, lol!
Something you may never have known about regarding that Classic Song.
Plus I have the chance to play a song I have always loved- exquisite in its open-to-interpretation symbolism- that goes far beyond merely catching a Horse.
And we are only at the Halfway Marker- with a Photo Finish still to come.
You are invited to Saddle Up and join me.

ROCKOLLECTIONS: KENTUCKY DERBY PT.1

As we conclude our Musical Kentucky Derby , I know a horse I would bet on but he is for a very good reason not on the field, not a contender.
Then I'll play a couple of songs that are not only about Horses, but RACEHORSES!
What’s that expression, “You can lead a horse to water, but…”?
Followed by a song that seems to bring out strong emotions in people, both for and against.
Finally, and all out of breath, I will leave you with a perfectly named song that was # 2 on the charts in 1968.
Let me know if I came in Win, Place or Show.
I ran my ass off, lol!
Good luck picking the winner at the Kentucky Derby .
May he or she go on to the Triple Crown!

Mike

Baegod & Sbvce - Late Night Vibe (Prod By Sbvce) *Video Link In Description* *Album out 7/5/18*

The comedic duo of Bob Elliott and Ray Goulding first appeared on radio in 1946 for WHDH in Boston. In July of 1951 they joined NBC’s full network with two shows. One was a daily-morning show, and another was a sixty-minute primetime show. With radio audiences leaving for television and NBC’s bouncing both programs around its schedule, both shows achieved only mediocre success. 

Bob and Ray next appeared on Saturday Mornings for NBC’s Monitor and In October of 1955 they joined the Mutual Broadcasting System for a 45 minute weekday disc jockey series. That lasted until September 20th, 1957.

By the time they joined CBS radio on June 29th, 1959 the team had refined their spoof-character approach. One famous character was the bumbling reporter Wally Ballou. Voiced by Bob Elliott, in 1963 Wally was reporting from down in the new "quiet" subway in New York.
