Going on Down to Yasgur's Farm, Again
Anyone coming of age in 1969 who was plugged into what Woodstock was all about wasn't accustomed to thinking what would happen in the next 40 minutes, much less 40 years. So, the upcoming Woodstock anniversary is rather mind blowing.

Record Store Day - long live independent record stores
It wasn't just the big selection and the knowledge of the sales people. It was the gathering place of kindred spirits. It was the smell and feel of the place. It was the record store, and it is being celebrated (and mourned) on Record Store Day.

Jose, Can You See?
At one time or another, we have all misheard something someone said. It’s called a mondegreen, a real word coined by Sylvia Wright which means the misinterpretation or mishearing of a phrase. It’s normal but can be the cause of great amusement and shameful embarrassment, even in classic rock songs.

Black History and Classic Rock
African American musicians have long been associated with Jazz, Blues, Hip-Hop and Soul music, but there is also much to celebrate about their influence on classic rock. Our great respect and gratitude for these artists as we celebrate Black History Month.
