The ’60s and ’70s album rock moved the nation during the early rock n roll times, the British Invasion, Viet Nam, The Cold War, The Iron Curtain. DC5, Buddy Holly, Beatles, Cream, Zeppelin, Janis, songwriters like Elton and Bernie, John and Paul, Simon and Garfunkel....the list goes on. It rocked through the life and times of the world and it made us feel and helped us numb out. Fifty years later, the albums remain, a little scratched, some stained or even broken, but the music lives on. I try to present a brief history, a wayback machine if you will, into the artists, writers, lyrics and nostalgia of those wonderful days of free love, exploring the mind and smelling, eating, seeing, tasting and touching, indelibly burning memories for future enjoyment. It’s about the music and the era of album oriented rock. These are some of the Tales Vinyl Tells.

Here’s a salute to America with Yes, Steppenwolf, Karla Bonoff, Linda Ronstadt with one of Bonoff’s tunes and an encouragement to be registered to vote and to be aware of ballot issues everytime the polls are open. Vote with your head and heart. I also encourage you to even consider working the polls, getting involved in letter writing (it’s easy!) There is voting going on much of the time and some don’t want “you people” to know about it. Be informed! Check with your local election board or commission. I know you might think this is early but we’ve got another very important election coming up in 2026 and if we, the people, want change so we can look forward and not backward, we need to vote and get others to vote. There! I said it. Enjoy this episode!
