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.

New show on Vinyl Voyage Radio: Songs in the Key of Dave

This week, we are premiering a new show on Vinyl Voyage Radio -- a show that blends memories and music. My dad, Dave, lives in Florida, so we meet now once a week virtually and share a glass of wine. I thought it would be fun to record our conversations and make shows based on our talks.

This week, we discussed the types of music that he listened to growing up. Hanging out in coffee shops in the mid-to-late 50s, my Dad had fully embraced the folk revival scene that exploded at that time.

The first episode is called  "First it was FOLK." On this episode we talk about growing up in Old Town and listen to some Burl Ives, the Kingston Trio, Peter, Paul and Mary, Johnny Cash and many more.

This show will premiere at 2pm Sunday, August 31, 2025. New episodes will drop at that time every week. Want to hear it early -- here you go:  It is now available for streaming on Mixcloud!

Songs in the Key of Dave can be heard at the following times, Eastern:

Sundays, 2pm

Wednesdays, 8pm

Saturdays, 3am
