Lead singer Dean Ford takes us back on a journey with the song Reflections of My Life, interesting perspective and such a powerful message. 

Guitar Solo Facts . . .
The guitar solo in Reflections of My Life, often referred to as “reverse” guitar solo, was a sixteen “bar” sequence (termed “measure” in the USA) featured in the recording by Junior Campbell, the band's lead guitarist.

"The song is in the key of G major and the solo was recorded thus:

The first 4 bars were recorded as normal, with Campbell playing a long “G” note, tied over from the last beat of bar 3, through bar 4, with slight feedback sustaining the long note.

The eight track tape was then turned over, and Campbell played against the reverse sound of the track, including his initial first four bars ensuring that he played another long “G” near the same point which could be cross-faded against the original – the tape was then turned over to normal setup, and he selected just 4 bars from the reverse recording which are bars 4-7 inclusive – this was cross-faded with the original at bar 4 – lhe then picked up from bar 8 through to bar 16 as normal, so in fact, only 4 bars are actually “reversed”.

The solo was played on his left-hand Gibson Stereo ES355 using a Sound City stack. " according to wikipedia sources.

George Alexander Aberle, known as eden ahbez[1] (April 15, 1908 – March 4, 1995), was an American songwriter and recording artist of the 1940s to 1960s, whose lifestyle in California was influential on the hippie movement. He was known to friends simply as ahbe.

Ahbez composed the song "Nature Boy," which became a No. 1 hit for eight weeks in 1948 for Nat "King" Cole and has since become a pop and jazz standard.
Living a bucolic life from at least the 1940s, he travelled in sandals and wore shoulder-length hair and beard, and white robes. He camped out below the first L in the Hollywood Sign above Los Angeles and studied Oriental mysticism. He slept outdoors with his family and ate vegetables, fruits, and nuts. He claimed to live on three dollars per week.

I wanted to spin vinyl for my first show and I was really nervous! I knew I wanted to highlight Bob Dylan and his amazing legacy he has created.  He was my poet of choice when I did my college paper in poetry class, I blew the fellow classmates away when I came in with custom posters with lyrics and a boom box to play Going Going Gone.  I told them then in 2009 that I love Bob Dylan because he did not care what people thought of him and did not conform, staying true to his craft and spirit.  So, I was not surprise when he received the nobel prize for literature

This was the first album I found in my quest to create a show with vinyl.  I was delighted, I opened the show with the song Eternal Caravan Of Reincarnation and then I added Song of the Winds to the set too!  Most listeners have most likely never been exposed to this unique album of Santana's, vintage 1972.  I love to expolore artists and see all the work they have created or shall I say unleashing the Magic!

Wow!  This was the find of all!  I love Blinded By the Light . . .  but this is AMAZING!   "The Earth Band combines the stylistic approach of progressive rock with Mann's jazz-influenced Moog synthesizer playing and keen ear for melody. Beside producing their own material, a staple of the band's music and live performances from the beginning has been also relying on covers of songs by other modern pop/rock artists, notably Bob Dylan and Bruce Springsteen, in their progressive rock style." "The album The Good Earth tapped into ecological concerns, a recurring theme in Mann's music in later years . . ."  I love the way they have mixed this song!  Rich with organic sounds found in nature with electric energy, love the Rooster!! Enjoy the Magic of Manfed!

I had the pleasure of meeting Ramblin' Jack Elliot at Rancho Nicasio in Marin County California, he lives out on that beautiful coastal area, very interesting man.  White Bird is somewhat of an anthem of mine, I love the Egret and that song is just precious.  Really love the song I picked of Ramblin' Jack's for the set, 1913 Massacre, because he sings it with such heart!

The main theme on this show was Freedom, freedom from the system, the greedy and break on through to the other side of Jim Morrison with his poetic verses of Truth in The American Prayer.

Jenny will be starting her first show of Beachhouse Muzik live at wfhb.org at 10pm Pacific and 1am Bloomington, IN time.
The shows will also be live video streamed via periscope on JennyPerspective in an effort to promote radio dj and also connect with Marc Wendt and get some discussion going on the show.  "During songs will be the best time for me to check in and answer questions and get feedback."  "My first show will showcase Bob Dylan and his music through the years."

Chatting with Marc and Jenny.  Lani McIntire and his Aloha Islanders featured.

Lani McIntire (sometimes spelled Lani McIntyre, 15 December 1904 - 17 June 1951) was a Hawaiian guitar and steel guitar player who helped to popularize the instrument, which eventually became a mainstay in American country and western music. He played frequently with his brothers -- steel guitar legend Dick McIntire and bassist Al McIntire. Lani McIntyre and his Aloha Islanders: McIntire achieved fame playing with Sol Hoopii in his "Novelty Trio" before heading his own acts, "Lani McIntyre and his Aloha Islanders" and later, "Lani McIntyre and his Hawai'ians." His work with Jimmie Rodgers pioneered the Hawaiian guitar sound that laid the foundation for the steel guitar as a standard country instrument, influencing the likes of Hank Williams and Elvis Presley. As leader, McIntyre released dozens of records between 1935 and 1950, for the American Record Corporation (1935), Decca (1937-1942), Sonora Records (1944 - 1945), MGM Records (1950), and Columbia Records (1950). Academy Award: McIntire and his Hawai'ians also worked with Bing Crosby on the original version of "Blue Hawaii" as well as "Sweet Leilani," which was popularized in the 1937 film Waikiki Wedding and won an Academy Award for Best Song in the 10th Academy Awards (over George and Ira Gershwin's "They Can't Take That Away From Me"). The band had a recording contract with Decca Records at that time. McIntire appeared in the films You're the One Rose (1943), Maui Chant (1943), Paradise Isles (1943), and Dreams of Old Hawaii (1944).

*correction disregard reference to 'pedal steel' in the dialog, I intended to refer to the steel sound and hawaiian style.  thank you.

More about the Hawaiian connection to the evolution of the steel sound.
The pedal steel guitar is the latest development in a story that started with the invention of a technique of playing used in Hawaii in the late 19th century, wherein the strings were not fretted by the left hand, but rather by sliding an object such as a comb or the back edge of a knife blade along the strings above the neck of the guitar. Several people have been credited with the innovation.
