RWL_FLASHBACK FRIDAY #014

Join us this week on RadioWilderLive.com as we dive into a journey to Bowling Green that was thwarted by the unpredictable year of 2020. Yet, as I tuned in, memories flooded back of my enduring bond with Ty Grimes. Picture this: Ty and I, perennial truants, savoring beers by the Rio Grande’s edge in El Paso, Texas. Ty, already a drummer at heart, and I, just embarking on my musical voyage. Ty’s prophecy was simple: ‘I am going to play drums for my whole life, while you, my friend, will strum a while before steering into the business world.’ And that’s the tune our lives danced to. Ty’s rhythm graced stages with legendary artists, while I found my cadence in the corporate realm. In our latest episode, Ty recounts his gigs with Ricky Nelson in Hawaii, where ‘Travelin’ Man’ echoed through the sands of Waikiki, earning standing ovations mid-performance – the epitome of rock ‘n’ roll bliss! But there’s more! We’re spinning tracks from the Spin Doctors to the electrifying Emma Franklin (Aretha Fraklin's sister), AC/DC to Fall Out Boys, and the mystical All Them Witches to U2. Not to mention the iconic Alvin Lee and the legendary Jimi Hendrix. And if Nighthawks, Earl King, or The Maharajas are new to your playlist, prepare for a treat – they’re fantastic! So, make your weekend memorable and climb aboard the Wilder Wagon at RadioWilderLive.com. We’re excited to share this ride with you!
