  One nonviolent way to show one’s displeasure/disgust/disagreement is to protest. In a letter to the editor, written in a blog, by contacting your lawmakers, taking it to the streets and there are many other ways. Pete Seeger was known for his songs protesting mistreatment of workers and war itself, and over time there has been a great abundance of songs and actions of protest. Marvin Gaye, CCR, Nina Simone, Dylan, Lennon and many others wrote and performed their protest songs from What’s Goin’ on?, Blowin’ in the Wind to Fortunate Son, Give Peace a chance and Strange Fruit. In the future you’ll hear an episode of Tales Vinyl Tells dedicated to protest songs. Please send your ideas to me at TalesVinylTells@gmail.com and yours may well be included. And when you email me, please be sure to let me know who and where you are. I mention protest songs because we kick off with a real kicker from Quicksilver Messenger Service and include Petty, Joni, Cheech, Chong, Nick and more. Thanks for listening.

Episode 97: Gershwin Prize Winner! Winner, Winner, Got A Spinner! March 30, 2026 From May 2024: The aging process on humans is real. What we do and don’t do may play a big part in how that process affects us or not. The vinyl LPs of that era and the new ones being purchased today will last a lot longer than the color in our hair or our smooth and youthful skin. All I’m saying is that the age of rock is so wide and varied, from Elvis to Zappa, we have a lot of ground to cover in these short one-hour shows. And, who knows, maybe listening to the music of our youth may give a moment in time when we can enjoy those times or not. Admit it, it wasn’t all bad.

Episode 141: Dickey Betts Salute , A Sleigh Ride On Nantucket? Details Here March 16, 2026 The proverbial circle of life continues to turn and we might find ourself getting in touch with our own mortality as time moves on. This week I reminisce, as I often do hearing this music.

Episode 140: Another 15 Million Unit LP, Long Time Since Phoenix Flew And More March 10, 2026 The ironies in life… This hour-long show just played on RadioFreeNashville.org and yesterday I was informed that Dickey Betts of the Allman Brothers Band had passed away peacefully. He was 80. Jaimoe is the soul survivor of the original ABB now. The irony being that this particular episode started off Wednesday on radiofreenashville.org talking about the Allman Brothers at Fillmore East sessions from the summer of 1971. In fact, the second and third tunes from that session, on this episode, are from those Fillmore East fabulous concerts. If you didn't catch it during the live radio show, I was living in South Florida and was hanging out with some people I would call cool and we were doing a lot of concerts (and a fair amount of extracurricular recreational things). The concerts were affordable, like five dollars to eight dollars and we didn't mind traveling an hour to the Miami Jai Alai fronton to see the Allman Brothers Band live. That allowed plenty of time to get our heads right. It was a big party! It was the Fillmore East sessions! We were blown away. And in the first three months that the double album was on the market, it's sold a half million copies. I still have mine and you probably know I'm in love with it! Stormy Monday is a killer, You Don't Love Me is a great jam and the four sides contain wall-to-wall great southern rock.

Episode 207: Snow And Ice. And The Mail Still Got Delivered. Snow Suite And More. February 2, 2026 Hello again and thanks for joining me for more of those Tales Vinyl Tells.  Well, it’s been snowy and icy here in middle Tennessee, just a wee bit outside music city, and yesterday I scraped 2” of ice off 3 cars and it was lots of fun.  I took lots of time to finish up episode 206 and knew I had the juice for another new episode, so here it is. I’m Brian Hallgren saying hello to all of you, from many parts of the world listening these programs. Including Singapore, Norway, Netherlands, Lithuania, Finland, the UK.  Tell me where you’re hearing Tales Vinyl Tells.  My email is talesvinyltells@gmail.com. Today we have some White trash, a first electric album, dreaming about the golden bear state and dreading the white stuff still on our ground.  I’ve even got a snow suite for you today.  Do you ever feel like you’d like to crawl in a hole and hibernate?  Maybe you have the Subterranean homesick blues.
