Music History on this day...

In 1958, Dickey Doo & the Don'ts peaked at No. 46 with "Flip Top Box."

In 1967, Canned Heat performed at the Monterey (Calif.) Pop Festival, leading to a contract with Liberty Records.

In 1968, Janis Joplin, Steve Miller, and Santana played a benefit at San Francisco's Fillmore Auditorium. Proceeds from the gig went toward keeping the Matrix Club, another San Francisco venue, open.

In 1975, Don Robey, the entrepreneur whose Peacock label was home to Little Richard and Bobby "Blue" Bland, died at age 71.

In 1976, "The Jacksons," a summer variety show, began its network run on CBS-TV.

In 1978, the movie musical "Grease," with Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, premiered. The soundtrack produced two No. 1 singles, "Grease" (by Frankie Valli) and "You're the One That I Want" (by John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John).

In 1982, Pretenders guitarist James Honeyman-Scott died following a period of cocaine and heroin addiction.

And in 1982, in Tulsa, Okla., Donnie Van Zant of Southern rockers .38 Special was arrested onstage after drinking in public.

In 1985, the U.S. No. 1 Billboard Pop Hit was "Heaven," by Bryan Adams.

In 1987, lawyers for Jerry Garcia gave the Ben & Jerry ice cream company permission to market the flavor called Cherry Garcia.

Also in 1987, Michael Jackson increased his offer for the bones of John Merrick, aka the Elephant Man. He was again refused.

In 1988, Pink Floyd played Berlin. In East Berlin, 2,000 fans gathered at the wall to listen to the concert.

In 1989, Smokey Robinson released his own line of perfume called Smoke. It's marketed as "the most sensual woman's perfume."

In 1990, the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black" went to No. 1 in the Netherlands 24 years after it was first released.

In 1993, the U.S. Postal Service released a set of seven stamps featuring rock and blues legends. The featured performers are Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, Clyde McPhatter, Otis Redding, Ritchie Valens, Dinah Washington and Elvis Presley. A separate Presley stamp was also issued earlier in the year.

In 1994, Kristen Pfaff was found dead in her bathtub with syringes and other suspected drug paraphernalia nearby. The 26-year-old was the bass player for Hole, the band of Kurt Cobain's widow, Courtney Love.

In 1995, Pearl Jam kicked off their first tour without the involvement of Ticketmaster. The Seattle band had accused the company of monopolizing the ticket industry. Instead, tickets are sold through a mail-order service.

In 1997, Alan Jackson made a little history by becoming the first artist ever to win six times as male vocalist of the year in the TNN/Music City News Country Awards.

In 1998, members of Live donated part of the proceeds from their show in Asbury Park, N.J., to a casualty of June 13, 1998's Tibetan Freedom Concert in Washington, D.C. The rock band helped fund a skin graft operation for concertgoer Lysa Selfon, 25, who was critically injured by a lightning bolt. Like Live, law student Selfon hails from Lancaster County, Pa.

Also in 1998, recording Academy chief Michael Greene announced that after two turbulent years in New York, the Grammy Awards are to return to Los Angeles.

And in 1998, longtime Nashville manager Jack McFadden died at home of liver cirrhosis. He was 71. McFadden managed Buck Owens for 30 years and launched Billy Ray Cyrus' career after every Nashville label turned Cyrus down.

In 1999, Phil Collins got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

In 2002, Elvis Presley reappeared on the U.K. singles chart for the first time since shortly after his death in 1977, thereby breaking a quarter-century-long stalemate with the Beatles for the most chart-topping singles in British history. The remix of his 1968 track "A Little Less Conversation," credited to Elvis Vs. JXL and the first remix of any Presley recording sanctioned by his estate, hits the top with first week sales of nearly 250,000 copies.

In 2003, Toto apologized to keyboardist David Paich after claiming he was sitting out of their summer tour to get a sex change operation. Paich was actually tending to a sick family member. Guitarist Steve Lukather said he was sorry the joke got out of control.

I'd like to compliment the great Guitar and sounds done, on some of the recently posted songs.

A few weeks back Eddie Van Halen appeared on the Howard Stern Show and said he didn't rule out a reunion with David Lee Roth. I think we'd all like to see that, but if the guys are going to do it, it better be soon because I'm not sure how many people are going to care. Now before someone starts saying "I love them" or "it would be huge" let me say that I too would love to see a Classic VH reunion, but I think that time is not on this band's side at the moment. Its news to the die hard fans, but maybe not to the rest of the world The fact is, when Eddie made these comments it wasn't big news that hit all the papers. We've been teased with a Roth-VH reunion for years and everytime nothing comes of it. Anyway, I'll be watching to see what

A two-hour trip to a time when music mattered
There is no argument that the music of the late ‘60’s and early 70’s, what is most commonly called Classic Rock, is the most important music ever made to its listeners.


Most of these baby boomers have had a life-long love affair with their music and it does not look like it is going to die down soon.


Back before CD’s and digital music most of those albums were listened to on stereo record players.


All of those great albums contained an average of 10 to 12 songs per album. If you are old enough to remember then you will know that most people did not constantly lift and drop the needle onto their favorite album cuts. Every time you dropped the needle, you ran the risk of damaging the disk. Therefore most people put the needle down on an album side and let it play all the way through, thus becoming familiar with all the songs on the album. Most classic rock stations today will play only one or two songs from those albums leaving the majority of music on them un-played and unheard by the audience.


When you hear these songs again it is like running into a dear old friend you haven’t seen for 20 years. It is a treat. The reaction is almost always the same, a big smile.


The Deep End with Nick Michaels is a program that not only gives voice to these great songs but also give context to them through the use of sound and narration. This program feels like it is taking you back to that time. Audiences respond to it the way you respond to running into that dear old friend. After a few minutes with that friend, it is as if no time has passed between you. The warmth of that feeling is what this show is all about.


Don’t think of it as a album of photographic memories, its not, this show is a time machine that actually takes you back to the feeling of the times. This is done through the use of the future tense for past events. It sounds as if we are back in time about to live it all again!

To the lost and beloved Famomous music,me and my Family prays and hugs for the true master of music.

On my thoughts,he will never be forgoten,he wrote many pages of music in my fellowship,as he said it was free to all to copy.

He was a very smart man..............

He loved his music,as we'll as we had many conversations regarding it.

He will be very missed,as we'll as a very polite and extremly very intellegent soul spirited person.

It hurts me very deeply to be not able to talk to him,seeing how we for years we had a great passion for music,and i know he loved it,i don't know if quoted would be a good word now,but he will and always be known as a great person in my eyes,and that comes from the Universe of me and my family and friends.



They will be with you my friend.

This was his favorite icon

I hope for a minute of silence on behalf a very good friend.
