julesberry Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Our local classic rock station is doing a chronological history of Rock n Roll starting with Sgt. Pepper and ending with the Joshua Tree. The year - 1972 - they just played Go all the Way. Goosebumps. I've requested it in the past and it was played, but it's not in their regular rotation. I was wondering if it would be included and am amazed that I was fortunate to even be tuned in when they played it.It's gotta be an omen !!!!!!!!

raspathens Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I know what you mean Julesberry - 102.9 FM in Atlanta, another classic rock station, plays the heck out of Raspberries/Carmen. Just last week they had Eric and the Boss go head to head in one of these lunch-time voting contests where the theme of the songs are similar. I have a feeling that there are a lot of fans out there in all walks of life ready to support this music if given the chance. I worry that the window of opportunity may be passing. Baby steps never work, not for anything. I know that's easy for me to say just sitting here in my office without knowing much of what's going on, but that's how I feel. There needs to be some kind of brazen but non-offensive stunt to coincide with the DVD/CD's release. I'm serious this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 In that case --- I will have to tune into that more often. Time to stop listening to 'the river' so much then.Appearances on the Leno/Letterman circuit will help out!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al K Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 This is GREAT info! I'm gonna start a thread asking you to let me know of your local stations that play the berries - we'll work with Ryko to make sure they get serviced with the new CD, the press release, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raspyrock Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 raspathens: I listened tp 102.9 for a while in the car yesterday & it came in kinda fuzzy ( late-night was clear ) so I don't think there in Atlanta + they seem to be touting themselves as a North Georgia Radio station -- which includes a lot of us in north metro anyway. Ah hell --- lets use a search engine --- the global link ( w/ secondary dead link ): http://www.rockhawk.com/Georgia.htm -- specific link for Majic 102.9 FM : http://www.accessnorthga.com/majic/ That may help Al a bit too!!

julesberry Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Follow Up:Hi Marilynn, I'm enjoying following the chronological Rock n Roll History. I'm especially glad you included the Raspberries in 1972 yesterday. Just wanted to let you know that Raspberries have a new Live CD/DVD coming out the end of this month. It was recorded at their 2005 reunion tour concert at the HOB in L.A which we were fortunate to be at that sold out show ! They Still Rock !!! Just thought I'd let you know as you mentioned that you were a big fan too when I e-mailed in a request for Go All the Way and you were kind enough to play it for me.Best Regards, Julie Dear Julie,You’ll be happy to know that I had that Raspberries song TOTALLY CRANKED here in the ‘KLH studio!!! OMG, I was soooooo in love with Eric Carmen back when that album came out..and I still listen to it all the time as I have a ton of Raspberries in my iPod!Thank you so much for taking the time to write and let me know about the CD/DVD…and I will definitely be looking for that on Amazon. And – you don’t even wanna know how jealous I am that you got to see them in LA in 05. Wow! Thanks for being a part of the ‘KLH Chronological journey….enjoy the ride!!

raspathens Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm sitting with the family for lunch yesterday at Phillip's Seafood. Phillip's is located on the pier at Caesars' in Atlantic City. The place is packed. At 12:50 p.m. the room fills with the sound of NGFILA. Perfect. It's followed by America's Daisey Jane. Great way to end our trip to the shore.

Raspyrock Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Clearly I haven't been to AC in a while -- I didn't know they had a Phillip's Seafood in AC -- I always go to 'em in Ocean City, Md. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspathens Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yea Raspy, they do. One warning : Don't order a cosmo at the bar on an empty stomach while waiting for a table. It's giant and potent and dangerous. After lunch the girls went shopping and I wandered into the casino with my 15 year old son. Needless to say, we were kicked out. My son then got on his cell to tell all of his friends that he had been "kicked out of a casino". My wife drove us to the airport AND from Atlanta back to Athens last night. Jeez I feel stupid.

Raspyrock Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'm sure this was a badge of honor for your son!!The mom may feel different. Is the age 18 or 21 there in AC?? My stepson loves cards (poker) and when we were up to my folks in VA. he kinda caught on to canasta a little bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raspathens Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 It's 21. You'll have to tell him to wait a few years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
