Halloween on Vinyl Voyage Radio - 2025

 

Halloween is our favorite time of the year here on Vinyl Voyage Radio. The fun starts at 1pm with hand-selected tunes perfect for Halloween. Then, we have some treats!

The Haunted Mansion in Story and Song

2pm - This is a tradition here on VVR. This album I bought as a kid in the early 70s in Disney World. Featuring Ron Howard, this is the original Haunted Mansion story.

Pumpkin Party of Death

3pm - This is the very first mix made by our friend J-Bones. He is a master when it comes to making Halloween mixes.

Take it Outside, Mr. Pumpkin

4:30 pm  This is the second ever mix by J-Bones (and one of my favorites).

The Weird Show

6:30 pm - This is the latest JB mix. And it's a good one.

And then, a surpise JB mix later at 10pm. Which one will it be?

Happy Halloween!

Episode 5 of Songs in the Key of Dave is Available!

Tomorrow at 2pm, Eastern, we have a new episode of Songs in the Key of Dave - E05 - "Wrecks, Waves and Corvettes." From MG antics at St. Michael’s to cruising Lake Shore Drive, this episode dives into my dad’s lifelong love affair with cars, boats, and even a few motorcycles. 

Hear stories of the Corvette he gave up for love, the sailboat adventures on Lake Michigan, Uncle Louie’s motorcycle racing, and yes—the infamous Pinto. Featuring music from Chuck Berry, The Beach Boys, Chicago, Christopher Cross, Arlo Guthrie, and more—including songs celebrating the mighty GTO and, of course, Corvettes. Because no matter where life took him, it always came back to Corvettes.

 

Episode 04 - Songs in the Key of Dave - "We Did Something Right"

 

Songs in the Key of Dave – Ep 4: We Did Something Right

This special episode was recorded around the kitchen table in Florida, as my sister Lori and I visited our parents, Lynn and Dave, for Mom’s birthday. It’s the first time the four of us have been together in nearly a decade. Over gin and tonics, we laughed, swapped stories, and revisited the soundtrack of our family life—Barry Manilow, Neil Diamond, the Oak Ridge Boys, Vikki Carr, and more. Along the way we talked about concerts, campers, curfews, and even tornadoes on the plains.

The episode closes with Mom’s simple but powerful reflection: “Dave, we did something right.”

Join us for an hour of music, memories, and family.

Listen Sunday at 2pm, Eastern -- or, right now on Mixcloud.
