Vinyl Voyage Radio

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 Satu...

Kris and Julie Kehr kick off the album with "Fool For You Again," a melancholy ode to relationships: Outside it's cold...the wind united it's blowing us to and fro we're growing old like a landscape blighted whispering "even though... Likewise, “In Lieu of You,” is another agonizingly realistic slice of life and love Flannery does so well and captured with an emotional intensity by John Canjar. There’s “Leaving Home” ...
