The Way-Back Music Machine Podcast

Episode 26 of The Way-Back Music Machine! We are into our second quarter and loving every minute, every trip of it. Two good friends visiting moments in the history of all sorts of music.

First up this week, we visit Kalamazoo, Michigan and see the birth of instrument used in rock, country, pop and most forms of music. But mostly rock. Where would Billy Gibbons or Randy Rhoads be without this guitar?

Then we visit swinging London, 1969 and check out a song that was not only banned but a record company dropped it even though it was heading to the top of the charts. We will learn about the song and the controversy.

Finally, a rose by any other name may be Janis Joplin. We look at the debut of Bette Midler on the big screen and about a film that caught the attention of film goers and amateur singers everywhere.

All that and the charts, talk and the Beatles moment on this week's episode of The Way-Back Music Machine.
