The end of an era. 68 episodes (66 regular shows + 2 bonus) and I walk away on my terms. It's been a wild ride. I have no regrets. If you were a listener, a follower, shared an episode, or just liked one of my posts, I thank you. The show was listened to thousands of times and I consider it to be a huge success. But now I move on to new and exciting creative projects. Please enjoy my final broadcast of The ABC's of Rock. It's been a blast.

Coming at ya with a brand new episode! Representing the letter G, alt-rock sensation GARBAGE!

I also have an announcement to share with everyone that I teased on the last episode. Unfortunately, I will be stepping away from the ABC's of Rock. It's been an amazing ride, but for many reasons that I get into on this weeks shows it is time for me to move on. We still have one more kick ass episode to wrap up the show next week, so stay tuned!

Brand new episode just released. I tackle the entire spectrum of New Wave on this weeks show. Quite the endeavor.

Brand new episode is here! This week in response to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame snubbing so many worthy bands and musicians for the umpteenth year in a row, I've taken the liberty of acknowledging 10 of those artists who would definitely be in MY Hall of Fame if I were running the things.

This is also a call to action on you! Let me hear from my pack of loyal listeners what artists who you would nominate into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame that have been egregiously left out.
