My first radio check from WLAC-AM Radio
I also worked as a reporter for the popular radio station 1510 WLAC-AM,
my first experience in reporting Nashville Area Concerts and other local
events. I called in radio reports from the set of the Hee Haw TV show and
other famous places throughout Nashville, also known as Music City USA.

An internet version of The Kaleidoscope, featuring the Nashville music
scene and more, is now featured on our Newsletter page (this page).
I was a writer for the Kaleidoscope Newspaper in the 1970's, covering
music and concert events. Unfortunately, most of my issues of the
Kaleidoscope were lost over the years. The Kaleidoscope was a
Nashville music newspaper that was distributed to high schools
throughout Nashville Tennessee, and passed out free to students.

Chip Curley of Nashville Links
See an article on my friend Chip Curley. Chip and I have a connection going back to the early 1960's.
His family lived next door to my grandparents in Belle Meade when we were young. I can even
remember going to his house as a kid. I later learned of Chip's website, after my older brother sent me
the link. Chip's NashLinks.com has been a big influence on my TennesseeConcerts website. He has  
many great vintage web pages, along with a current Nashville events calendar. Chip has attended
several of our Play It Again Jam events. Actually, I was originally in the picture of Chip
shown with the Examiner article, but I got cropped out.

Within Reason
Within Reason is a rock
band from Birmingham, AL
that has crawled through
mud, doing everything on
their own since the day the
band was formed. Selling
thousands of cds, touring
the country and getting
themselves on worldwide tv
are just some of the things
this band's will power has
proven to do.

Within Reason biography:
In late 2006, Within Reason released
their first EP titled “Cycle A Smile”.  Just
three short months after releasing their
first album ever, the band started 2007
with a bang.  In January, the ballad
“Hold” received over 50,000 votes online
for Within Reason to appear and
perform live on the hit T.V. show, “One
Tree Hill” to an audience of over 4
million.  Over the next few months the
band shared the stage with many world
known acts such as: Chevelle, Saliva,
Crossfade, 10 Years, Blackstone Cherry,
Days of the New, Plain White T’s, Blues
Traveler, 12 Stones, The Ataris, Pop Evil,
Taproot, Trust Company, Rehab,
amongst others.  By mid-May WR had
been on worldwide T.V. twice and
performed live in front of crowds with
some of the many acts who have
inspired the music they write.  Since
their television debut, the guys are
selling tunes worldwide with a 4 ½ star
rating on iTunes.  With support from their
dedicated fans, the band was voted
“Rock Band of the Year” and “Performer
of the Year”  for the 2008 BAMA Music
Awards. So how do you close out such a
big year and prepare for 2008?  Playing
at the world famous Whiskey A Go Go on
New Years Eve is  how these guys
chose to do it.  So what should we
expect in 2008?  
The single “Favorite Sin” will be featured
on a compilation disc with a segment on
the band in the May 2008 issue of Metal
Edge Magazine.  Five songs on a  new
PC video game titles Motomax  
releasing in June 2008,
In August of 2008 Within Reason went
into the studio with Rick Beato to start a
new record which was release in
February 2009 titled “Bloodshot Life”.
Look for news to be posted weekly as
the guys are out on the road.

Within Reason

Within%20ReasonQuantcast
"For three nights we listened to songs by Sonic Bids artists
from all over the world. On the third night it came down to
Within Reason as being the best band (or artist). This band
really has some good music."
Gary Allen from the Charlie Daniels Band & JJ Cale's band
helped me judge this contest.
