Listening Lyrics - Music and guns (lets load guns with music)

FRIDAY 4:00PM

This weeks show will feature music that revolves around guns. Thought it might be fun to see what the musical culture has to say.

In addition we will have a call in guest from GUITARS NOT GUNS a non profit organization working with kids. "Using music as a catalyst we encourage children and teens to use their creativity to foster personal development and to help divert them from self-destructive influences such as drugs, alcohol and gang-related activities. By providing free guitars and lessons we hope to engage their creative potential and help them achieve their dreams."

Their web site is www.guitarsnotguns.org

Some songs are familiar, some not - but all are worth a listen.

Listening Lyrics - A&M 50th Anniversary (repeat) 1/9/13, 2:00PM

This week is a repeat since I am in LA. B U T if you missed the A&M anniversary show here is your opportunity.

Last Year, 50 years ago the first song sold on a new label was "Lonely Bull" by Herb Alpert and the Tijuana Brass.
A&M records was founded by Herb Alpert and Jerry Moss. They created a record label with the artist in mind.
This hour will be spent exploring the talents A&M brought to us.
