Rock 50 March Preview

by on Mar.12, 2015, under Rock 50

H! Everyone,

Our radio show airs this Saturday, March 14, 2014.

It’s Metal all the way, with the exception of the drum segue which will feature Hughie Flint of Blues Breakers fame.  We’ll be playing “nearly” all the now historically famous John Mayall and The Blues Breakers album.  Hughie Flint was one of the drummers that influenced my playing when I was in my late teens.  It’ll be a treat to listen to this fantastic British Blues band of the 1960’s.

Check us out if you get a moment.  We’ll be kicking ass with some of the best Metal in the world.

Stay safe.  Stay Strong.

–Bill

Feb Rock 50 Preview

by on Feb.25, 2015, under Rock 50

H! Everyone,

The February Rock 50 show airs on Saturday, February 28, 2015. Lots of metal – Disfear, Metallica, Caliban. Our featured drummer is John Densmore from The Doors – extraordinarily accurate and always in tandem musically with the other members of the band, it’s a rare treat, and I hope you enjoy it. As always, it’s a great opportunity for the student to appreciate dynamics.

Surprises, we’ll be playing Glenn Hughes with Tony Iommi/”Grace,” and Michael Schenker with UFO/“Lights Out.” The show will rock. If you like metal, hard rock or music, period, check us out.

Stay safe. Stay strong,
Bill

November Rock 50 Preview

by on Nov.19, 2014, under Rock 50

H! Everyone,

Our Rock 50 Metal show airs on Saturday, November 22.  To honour Veteran’s/Armistice Day, 11/11/14, we’ll present a brief remembrance acknowledgment with songs that echo the heartbreak and triumph of past wars.

We’ve got lots of Metal –Exodus, new stuff – all kickass.  Our drum segue features Chris Fehn, one of Slipknot’s percussionists.  His extraordinary performance live as the character #3, is a must to watch.  Equally, his percussion skills, accurate and unique, hinge very nicely onto Slipknot’s musical surface.  It’ll be a great segment, including new music from Slipknot.

Check us out if you like Metal and Hard Rock and music, period.

Stay safe.  Stay strong.

–Bill
