this podcast is going to be all about 60's music. the goal with this podcast is to educate a younger generation on one of the greatest decades of music of all time, and to prove to people that Millennials can love 60's music as well and it's not just for Baby boomers. Each week I"m going to review one song by one artist from the 60's and split the podcast into two halfs. first half is going to be my perspective and my opinion on the song and why I think it's so good or why I don't think it's so great. then I'm going to talk about the history behind the group or artist that did the song and talk about the behind the scenes industry people and places that helped make it a hit (writers and producers, session musicians and band members and recording studios and chart positions, etc.) I will occasionally interview industry people from back then either over the phone or in person to give you a better glimpse of how the business worked back then and how much has changed since then, and to educate younger people on their careers and the songs they made famous to the people listening that may not be familiar with their music at all

Episode 262 Part 2: Ray Stevens

hey guys! so I am back with another free episode for this podcast. sometimes I don't get to recording the first episode of the month until towards the end of the month, so the next episode sometimes comes the following week after I drop the first episode of the month. so, in this week's episode, I dive into a career of someone you may not be familiar with if your a Millennial/Gen Z, but his career is a lot like someone you may be familiar with if your a Millennial/Gen Z (Weird Al Yankovic) in this episode I do a compare and contrast between Ray Stevens and Weird Al Yankovic. here's the link to the song we talked about last week right here:

if you guys found out some REALLY cool information about last week's song & artist & you didn't know anything about him & you were REALLY intrigued by his career & you thought it was REALLY interesting & your a Millennial/Gen Z, then PLEASE do email me at samltwilli@icloud.com. you can also follow me & reach out to me on Instagram & Tik Tok @iheartoldies. thank you guys for still listening to this podcast even though I only put out two episodes a month. my living situation is actually going to change starting in April so I think I may experiment with going back to once a week and 2 songs a month and 4 episodes a month instead of just one song and two episodes a month. we'll see. I can't really foresee what my schedule is going to look like once my living situation changes so I'll probably play it by ear in terms of switching up the frequency as to when and how many episodes I put out with this free version of this podcast. but it will still be two episodes for March and I'll see for the month of April if I can increase it to 4 a month again. but anyways, thank you guys for listening & I will talk to you all next month.
