Some stone cold advice from Mr. Jordan and company waxed back in 1947. It’s all here on this track…the roots of rock ‘n’ roll…rap…and comedy all rolled up into one tall tale of hilarity. That’s Wild Bill Davis on the piano and, of course, Jordan himself on the vocals. When it came to big band, […]

Beyond Beyond 3D

Going BEYOND is fun, next time we’ll give you plenty of REASONS to have more. Don’t forget to send me your fun suggestions by email or leave […]
Song Of The Day – “Dancin’ Wild” by Tom & Jerry
Before “The Boy In The Bubble” and “Graceland”…before “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” and “Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard”…and before “Bridge Over Troubled Water” and “Sound Of Silence,” there was “Hey Schoolgirl” and a multitude of early recordings by the likes of Tom & Jerry, Jerry Landis, […]
Song Of The Day – “One Too Many Mornings” by Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash
Still a mystery to me why these recordings have never been officially released… The Dylan-Cash Sessions took place in Nashville’s Columbia Studio A on February 17-18, 1969 at the tail end of the Nashville Skyline recording sessions. During the same week that Dylan turned in such indelible recordings as “I Threw It All Away,” “Lay […]
Song Of The Day – “I Got Loaded” by Little Bob And The Lollipops
For many years, I thought this song was a Los Lobos original. Their version was so in line with their sound and it fit so well on their How Will The Wolf Survive album, I just assumed it was theirs. So it was surprising to me, when I found out that the song had been […]
Song Of The Day – “Soldier Of Love (Lay Down Your Arms)” by Arthur Alexander
He’s the only artist to be covered by the holy trinity of Elvis Presley, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan. Others who rushed to his deep well of first-rate copyrights included The Hollies, Ry Cooder, Pearl Jam, Ike & Tina Turner, Marshall Crenshaw, George Jones, Otis Redding, The Bee Gees, Humble Pie and […]

MoreOver3’D
I’m your Uncle Marty, as The 3D RadioActivity gathers for our 495th get together as we’re Glad to be Rockin’ all OVER with you. A standard radio phrase from the detective’s handbook is OVER and OUT. Since we have managed to do the former this time for you, when we return we’ll see how many […]
Song Of the Day – “Mother People” by The Mothers Of Invention
Every Christmas Eve through Christmas morning I manage a homeless shelter in an area church. It gives the regular workers a night off on their holiest of holidays, and it is something that I find very rewarding. Inevitably every year, I either get home after, or someone comes up to me during the 15 hour […]
