High Time Radio

THIS IS THE RADIO STATION THAT LETS YOU FEEL LIKE YOU GREW UP IN THE 1960s. WHEN I CREATED THIS STATION IN 2007, I PREFERRED LISTENING TO CREEDENCE CLEARWATER "REVISITED" TO THE ORIGINAL CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL, AS I FELT THAT MOST OF THEIR SONGS HAVE BEEN WORN TO THE BONE AT THIS POINT. THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF PANDORA ! BUT WHEN I RETURNED TO THIS STATION EIGHT YEARS LATER, IN 2016, I DEVELOPED A STATION THAT WAS ANCHORED BY SEVERAL SONGS FROM WORKINGMAN'S DEAD, INCLUDING BLACK PETER, HIGH TIME AND NEW SPEEDWAY BOOGIE. DESPITE MY APPRECIATION FOR THE PYROTECHNICS DEMONSTRATED BY THE GUITAR PLAYER IN CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVISITED, I DECIDED TO DELETE THEM AND ADD THE REAL CCR INSTEAD. THIS STATION IS DEDICATED TO THIRD-TIER ROCK ACTS AND MUSICAL PERFORMERS MOST FREQUENTLY LAUDED AS BEING HIP IN CIRCLES WHERE THE MUSIC OF BOB DYLAN IS SEEN AS HAVING CONTENT TOO INTELLECTUAL TO BE SATISFYING. I'M TALKING ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO PREFER THE DOORS AND LED ZEPPELIN AND TRAFFIC, OR EVEN TOM PETTY OR LYNYRD SKYNYRD OR BLACK SABBATH, TO SAY NOTHING OF THE MY GENERATION WHO PREFER NEO-HIPPIE OUTFITS LIKE SWAMPGAS OR THE SUPERSUCKERS TO THE TRUE KINGS OF ROCK MUSIC, AS EXEMPLIFIED THRU MY PANDORA STATIONS, BOB DYLAN AND THE GRATEFUL DEAD. http://www.pandora.com/station/223682171674077358

Prince Dynamite Radio

ORIGINALLY I DUG THE IDEA OF PUTTING WEEN AND PRINCE TOGETHER, BUT I EVENTUALLY SETTLED ON THE IDEA OF CREATING A STATION THAT COMBINED THE MUSIC OF PRINCE AND BIG AUDIO DYNAMITE. THIS STATION WAS MY ATTEMPT TO RE-CREATE THE HODGEPODGE OF INFLUENCES THAT SHAPED MIDDLE-CLASS KIDS GROWING UP IN THE 1980s. IN SOME WAYS IT IS A SUCCESS, WE'LL SEE EVENTUALLY. I SUPPOSE IT PROVIDES A CLEAR ENOUGH PICTURE SO THAT THE PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN IS DISCERNIBLE. IN 2010 I ADDED STEVE WINWOOD TO PROVIDE A CLASSY POP SENSIBILITY FOR THIS STATION. STEVE WINWOOD WAS DELETED AND MARK RONSON'S DANCE MUSIC WAS ADDED IN 2012. I created this station in 2007 and I returned to it nine years later in 2016 and I decided to delete Mark Ronson and add Charlie Haden and Dave Holland, who are two jazz musicians I'd like to hear more of. After listening to this station for a couple of days, it became clear to me that PRINCE's music has been pulled from Pandora; he is not available on Spotify, either. Indeed, his best albums are not available on Amazon,com also. Prince, please come back to us! (August 4, 2016). http://www.pandora.com/station/229234400451668142
