Journey Top 10 Dec 22, 2019

Show notes

Sonny and Steven talk about their Journey top 10 songs in part 2 of this all out look into the music and members of rock n roll hall of famers.

Journey created music that went from guitar driven hard rock to chart topping power ballads. They had so many great songs which is why putting together a top 10 list was so incredibly tough for both Sonny and me to do. I grew up in the 80s loving this band. They created the foundation to my hard rock musical taste.

Journey Family Tree Dec 15, 2019

Show notes

The Journey family tree is full of great musicians that have contributed to the success of the band's now Rock n Roll Hall Of Fame stature. Neil Schon, Steve Perry, Jonathon Cain, Ross Valory, and Steve Smith make up the most successful line-up of this band, creating massively successful albums like Escape and Frontiers. Over the years many of the great musicians and singers that have come through this band including that classic line up have gone on to create killer music in other bands. In this two part look at Journey we will be exploring some of those artist, bands, and music.

Hollywood's Wild Hair Family Affair Dec 08, 2019

Show notes

On this volume of Hollywood’s Wild Hair, he goes from doing a solo episode to making it a family affair and being joined by his beautiful 17-year-old daughter, Giana. The idea is to get a teenagers view of where rock stands today, play some killer music and basically make you laugh a little.

Although the original Wild Hair idea was to do solo episodes, there is something about adding an interesting guest to the mix. Giana is an intelligent teenager that doesn’t hold back her feelings about music, the environment, drummers and bassists, hot chocolate and a host of other topics. Hollywood and Giana have that special father/daughter bond and it comes out when they are sharing stories of Growin’ Up Rock while playing some killer songs by AC/DC, Foreigner, Bruno Mars, Poison, Triumph, Jimi Hendrix, Van Halen and many more. When was the last time you heard a young persons’ view of the music we ALL love??….and they even give The Godfather a call. Enjoy!!

Steven's Mixed Tape Family Affair Dec 01, 2019

Show notes

Just in time for the holiday's, I invite my lovely wife to come on the show and make this a family affair. We discuss her relationship with music and what she has seen and learned when it comes to Rock n Roll since meeting me. We play some great music while you drive over the hills and far away to Grandmas house.

When my wife first met me she was the farthest thing from a music geek. She could take or leave music. Where it created the soundtrack to my life, it was but background music to hers. After she met me she began to attend concerts and listen to many of the bands that I would begin to educate her on. At the end of the day she just does not listen to and appreciate music like me, but maybe that's why opposites attract.

In Volume 2 of our Desert Island Albums series, we are going to review classic albums from Dokken and Night Ranger. We will go track by track for two albums that we would be happy to have with us while we are stranded on a desert island.

It's Thanksgiving, and we are thankful to all our listeners. It seems like it's a great time for a bonus episode. In Volume 2 we have selected Night Ranger's Midnight Madness, and Dokken's very rocking Back For The Attack.
