Mike Pell - Rockollections 8a ET

ronkovacs — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 12:55:09 +0000

After a dopey question from me, we open this show with a better question from Billy Preston. Although he never quite answers it.

I’ll have some very interesting biography to share with you about Billy- and one of my off-the-cuff remarks that made me want to head for Outta Space.

It still strikes me funny though, lol!

After listening to tapes made during the Beatle sessions, it may surprise you just how close Billy Preston came to being officially the 5th Beatle!

Going to play 2 songs next, one was on the Billboard charts at # 22 and the other # 62.

I will leave it to you to judge the better song, but my feelings will be known.

Did you know that the first recorded version of My Sweet Lord was on a Billy Preston album?

Produced by his good friend George Harrison. And Billy appeared on all of George’s 1970’s albums, at least.
Although ill himself, he took George’s passing very hard.

We will close out this opening chapter (of two) with one of Billy’s remarkable performances at the Concert For George Harrison.

Welcome to RadioMaxMusic! Today is Groundhog Day

Groundhog Day is a holiday celebrated on February 2. It is held in the United States and Canada. According to folklore, if a groundhog emerging from its burrow on this day fails to see its shadow, it will leave the burrow, signifying that winter will soon end. If on the other hand, the groundhog sees its shadow, the groundhog will supposedly retreat into its burrow, and winter will continue for six more weeks. The holiday, which began as a Pennsylvania German custom in southeastern and central Pennsylvania in the 18th and 19th centuries, has its origins in ancient European weather lore, wherein a badger or sacred bear is the prognosticator as opposed to a groundhog. The holiday also bears some similarities to the medieval Catholic holiday of Candlemas. It also bears similarities to the Pagan festival of Imbolc, the seasonal turning point of the Celtic calendar, which is celebrated on February 2 and also involves weather prognostication.
