Is there a way to get your podcast for Android phones? Ideally, to simply download the MP3 podcast files?
Thank you!

Can’t wait to play this one later today. Simon once plowed into me at a show opening a door I should have not been standing in front of. But he was very apologetic anyway, and made sure I was ok before leaving.

All Right Now is a lesson in Rock drumming

 

[mday]

26th December 1969 I was in the audience at the Van Dike club Plymouth to see Free. Paul Rogers announced a new song never before played in public: All Right Now.

The rest is history but I bet he said the same at gigs before & after, but it must have been one of the 1st.

In alright now KNOW when and where to place the bass drum notes. As if No one knew.

Just came over the transom yesterday..... first question out of the gate: How do you feel about Bad Company not being in the rock and roll hall of fame?

Just came over the transom yesterday.....

Now there's a phrase that'll be lost on a lot of people. It ain't a boat transom.

John, I'm sorry to tell you this, but the voice track and video images are out of sync.

John, I'm sorry to tell you this, but the voice track and video images are out of sync.

Thanks, Bob. I realize it. When I edited it from the original full episode the file must have gotten corrupted. The good news is: the podcast (audio) looks great!

I listen while driving to run errands so it wasn't noticed here. Thank you.

Our house didn't have a Free album in it while we were growing up so when I joined a band this Spring that was doing Fire and Water it was a learning experience. Never heard the song prior. It took some study to hit the build right and come out correctly. We were slated to record it and my part came out a little stiff as I was still not comfortable with the arrangement.
