To be quite honest, I have been to Barcelona, Spain before and never knew it was the capitol of Catalonia. I always thought Barcelona was part of Spain. Well....that's a long story and one you should possibly dig into a bit. Catalonia's history is worth studying. Catalonia is a Mediterranean country located on the northwestern triangle of the Iberian Peninsular. Historically, it's location has turned it into a land of peace, where various peoples and cultures have come together.

Atlantic, Atco, Chess, Checker, Argo, King (from which label many of the cuts heard tonight hail), Federal, and on and on. These records needed to be heard. Black radio stepped in to fill the gap and a whole new business was created. One of the terms of many of these records is "rock and roll" and everyone thinks that Alan Freed coined the phrase.

We have watched year after year as our forests and hills rage with fire only to be beaten back by these courageous men and women who take their motto seriously and lay their lives on the line day after day. Even now, the largest wildfire in California's history is burning acres by the handful and is requiring nearly 5 thousand men and women to bring it under control. The Firefighters lost two good men during the fight when overwhelmed by smoke, their truck slid off a narrow dirt road and rolled down a steep, thickly forested hill which was covered in flame. The victims were fire Capt. Tedmund Hall, 47, of San Bernardino County, and firefighter Specialist Arnaldo "Arnie" Quinones, 35, of Palmdale. Hall was a 26-year veteran, and Quinones had been a county firefighter for eight years. I wish to personally apologize for mis-pronouncing Specialist Arnaldo "Arnie" Quinones name during the program. I should have double checked the spelling. Not only are Firefighters there when fires break out but they are also a second line of defense for America at home. This is something I did not know. I'm hoping to learn more about the Firefighter's role in national defense. As for myself....I wish to thank all the fire crews battling to save lives and property as I write. I have relatives whom are Firefighters and have heard the harrowing tales told of unsung heros and friends who are no longer with us.

But no matter the time, I always took the call because the man behind those words made me smile way too many times. The first time I met "Gashouse" Dave Shorey was when he came to our home in Van Nuys to turn off the gas. The grizzled persona of David Randall Shorey not only kept the gas on but also revealed a true bluesman possessed of a unique talent. The details of that first meeting are in the show today. I would like to thank my friend, Tom Sullivan, a very accomplished musician himself and a long term friend of Dave for joining me on this show and sharing some of his fond memories of the Gasman. I would also like to thank Norm Sancho and Billy DaMota for arranging a great send-off for Gashouse Dave last week. We are now preparing Dave's "Guitar King - Live In Hollywood" for release. Playing with Dave on that recording are Norm Sancho (bass) and Eddie Avilla (drums).... "Hey Homes....listen to this!", were the words I had heard so many times on the phone, often very late at night. But no matter the time, I always took the call because the man behind those words made me smile way too many times. The first time I met "Gashouse" Dave Shorey was when he came to our home in Van Nuys to turn off the gas. The grizzled persona of David Randall Shorey not only kept the gas on but also revealed a true bluesman possessed of a unique talent. The details of that first meeting are in the show today. I would like to thank my friend, Tom Sullivan, a very accomplished musician himself and a long term friend of Dave for joining me on this show and sharing some of his fond memories of the Gasman. I would also like to thank Norm Sancho and Billy DaMota for arranging a great send-off for Gashouse Dave last week. We are now preparing Dave's "Guitar King - Live In Hollywood" for release. Playing with Dave on that recording are Norm Sancho (bass) and Eddie Avilla (drums). The recording was made at Grandmaster Studios with Jimmi Mayweather at the engineering helm. The recording date was 7/13/96 and we are just sorry that Dave won't be around to enjoy its forthcoming release. Gashouse Dave will long be fondly remembered throughout Southern California by the many lives he touched....on and off the stage.

She has been completely renounced by her family and now....has only the support of her friends. Let me tell you a bit about her. Her name is Benedetta Balistrieri and I first met her while loading in for a gig with a band I was producing at that time. Benny (as her friends call her), was one of the most beautiful women I had seen in my life. This little lady ran one of the most prominent venues for developing music in the United States. Through the doors of The Scene in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, flowed the essence of what would become the greatest and most historic bands in the world; long before Woodstock or The Monterey Pop Festival. From Jimi Hendrix to Cream to Mountain and everything in between were helped along their way by the generous nature of Benedetta Balistrieri. Benny was always there for an advance so the musicians could pay their hotel rooms or just provide gas for their vans full of equipment to the next job. Benny was always available for a touch. There are many of us who will never forget that. Now....times are a lot different. A series of bad marriages, family disputes and poor choices have left this wonderful girl in dire straights. What is amazing though is the fact that Benny's friends are popping up all over the world with help and support. Today, I received a video from one of Benny's most staunch allies. Kate Teipel sent this video of the song "Stand By Me" as performed simultaneously by musicians from around the world. A more fitting stance could not have been provided. For this, we thank Kate most profusely. All we ask is that as you view this video, you think good thoughts and prayers for our dear friend and compatriot for many years. I know she will appreciate your kindness. The universe works in strange ways. This is a lady who did more in her own way to help new music along the road than most record companies ever did.

Able to shine in the spotlight as a singer or behind the scenes as an instrumentalist and songwriter, Womack never got his due from pop audiences, but during the late '60s and much of the '70s, he was a consistent hitmaker on the R&B charts, with a high standard of quality control. His records were quintessential soul, with a bag of tricks learned from the likes of Sam Cooke, Wilson Pickett, and Sly Stone, all of whom Womack worked closely with at one time or another. Yet often, they also bore the stamp of Womack's own idiosyncratic personality, whether through a lengthy spoken philosophical monologue or a radical reinterpretation of a pop standard. An underrated guitarist, Womack helped pioneer a lean, minimalist approach similar to that of Curtis Mayfie...

An underrated guitarist, Womack helped pioneer a lean, minimalist approach similar to that of Curtis Mayfield, and was an early influence on the young Jimi Hendrix. Additionally, his songs have been recorded by numerous artists in the realms of both R&B and rock, and the best of them rank as all-time classics. This perfomance was mixed by John Rhys at Master Sound Recorders in Hollywood. We at BluePower.com wish to extend our congratulations to our dear friend on his acceptance into the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.

Later, Steve took it upon himself to put together one song with the video. It took a great deal of finagling to get the DVD to come out right as utilizing only one camera, he had to pull shots from other sections of the video in order to piece together the song.

Since I was promoting product for Motown Records at the time (1964), I had an excellent insider's view. He sat in a humble office located upstairs at Hitsville on West Grand Boulevard in the Motor City....Detroit, Michigan. From there Barney controlled the flow of Motown Records' product all over the world. For years, many people speculated that Barney owned Motown, not Berry Gordy . Berry was an astute businessman and knew he needed a white man to front Motown in order to collect monies from the (mostly white) distributors and rack jobbers. Berry could have made no better choice than Barney Ales. Knowing the potential of the Motown machine; discerning the machine's many talents (including his own) and knowing how to collect the rewards....was Barney's talent. This interview with Mr. Ales was recorded at his home in Malibu several months ago on a mini-cassette recorder. I have been holding back the interview because I couldn't figure how I wanted to produce it. I have decided to run the interview alone (sans music cuts) as the discussion is quite informative (and humorous) by itself. The interview is totally un-edited. There are four parts to this interview. Anyone remotely interested in the music business of the Motown era and of that time period will want to tune in to a talk with one of the most fascinating men to ever work the music industry. Let's put it this way....Barney Ales has an incredible sense of business acumen and used it to grow one of the most prestigious and profitable entertainment companies of all time; Motown Records.

TJ started his set with a song called "In These Blues" accompanied by Oscar Jordan , an excellent blues man in his own right. "In These Blues" is a perfect combination of jazz and blues whereas both TJ and Oscar took individual solos that combined excellent playing ability with gentle finesse. The harmonies were delicate and on the mark. After TJ's first tune, he was accompanied by harp player par excellence, Greger Walnum ; upright bassist, Mark Goldberg and keyboard/accordionist, David Fraser. The group was a perfect setting for the tunes TJ had selected. A combination of clever songs, excellent playing and a mesmerizing performance put T. J. Sullivan over-the-top Thursday night and gave him an enthralled audience who wanted more. Here is TJ's set list: 1)...."In These Blues" 2)...."Ain't No Fun Being All Alone" 3)...."Ask Myself Why" 4)...."Woman Looking For A Man" 5)...."Mr. Blues" 6)...."Nothin' Matters" 7)...."Chicken Pie" 8)...."With You" 9)...."Mama's Got A New Tattoo" 10).."Blues Is Like A Ballgame" It's a wonderful thing to be surprised in a good way and pleasantly surprised we all were. In fact, the folks with whom we went, talked about the performance all the way home. Oh....and if you'd like to see T. J. Sullivan in person, you can catch him at Cozy's on Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks on January 17th at approximately 8PM. I'll be there and I'm bringing some friends.

I listen to hear an accurate presentation of a given subject from relevant points of view, not a skewed version designed to bolster a bias. Unbiased and unvarnished programming...."What a concept!" NPR can operate this way because they are beholden to their listener supported membership not advertisers.
