I wanted to let you all know who don’t follow me on Twitter that last night right before I was to “publish” this show, the transformer blew I mean literally exploded and I lost power. So, better late than never..enjoy the show and again…sorry for the delay.

As we wrap up the last week of Classic Rock month here at Sound Check, we couldn’t have gone out with a stronger show. This show rivals Episode 92 in many ways. It is filled with surprises and great Classic cuts. I say that enjoy doing these recordings, and some are admittedly better than others…but this one was great to listen to while under the headphones. The tracks are Classic, the guitars are screaming, and the instrumentals were catchy.

I acknowledge in the show that I appreciate the feedback, and anyone that puts effort into entertaining people loves feedback. I want to thank everyone for the kind words from the last 4 weeks worth of shows and especially, @MariAdkins and @Spiffy who said that they were truly looking forward to this weeks show. I was too…and it is here.

I have mentioned that we are headed to 80′s music for 2 weeks, so get me your requests for Episode 94 on 7/6/09. The calendar of release dates and what is coming up is on the sidebar.

If you want to email me for advertising on the show or have a request, please do at ck@check12check12.com You can also find me on Twitter @CK67.

Episode 92 was by far the most exciting show to put together since I changed format and went to a Twitter/Facebook/email request format to make up the show. This week all that effort seemed to shine through and with a record number of people requesting songs to make up the show, I am sure that you will be pleased if you are even the slightest fan of Classic Rock. Many thanks go out to the response to the Thursday status message on Facebook and also to some followers at Twitter too.

When I look at what people like, I always think that maybe someone that is listening to the show will like a new/old Classic. I have found that to be the case this week. If you have that happen to you, let me know and what you liked about the artist/song that you heard. The requests came in and were in multiples from many people and I appreciate that. This mix is one that as soon as I saw it, I knew that it would be a hit. Thank you again to all that contributed to Episode 92.

For the people on Twitter that assisted in the mix this week, I thank you. Also I would like to tell my readers that if you are looking for quality people to follow, check out these folks on Twitter: @thepete, @MariAdkins, @spiffy and @Dizzygirl

To make a request to my Twitter page I am @ck67 and here is my Facebook link. If I don’t know who you are, please send me a message with “Sound Check” in it so I know you are a fan of the show.

If you want to inquire about advertising on the show, or would like to request a song for the next mix you can email me at my Sound Check Email.

Enjoy this one, because I know I did when I produced it!

Where do I start?

I was looking at the feedback from the past few shows since the format of Sound Check had changed and I am pleased to bring a “different” type of podcast to you the listener. This show is based around my love for Classic Rock and sharing in the songs that you request for the play list. We have featured the “double troubles” in the show and the “triple threats” and have seen artists like Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and The Who, just to name a few.

This week, I would say that this play list will take you from the upper 70′s to the 60′s and round trip a few times. If you like Classic Rock in any way, their is something in here for you. The one thing that I like about this show being developed by the followers at Twitter and Facebook is that we are introduced sometimes to music that we have never heard. What can be better that a play list that has great music in it, out for your consumption and a way to hear new cuts? It can’t be better than that.  All I ask is for you to listen to the show, tell a friend that may like this music and then make sure you add us to your Itunes so that Sound Check with CK lands in your podcast category each and every week. (just select “get all episodes”)

Remember, June is Classic Rock month and I am taking your requests via my Twitter account, Facebook  and also if you want to add them in the comments to any post will work too. If you have a request and a story that you want to share you can email me at ck@check12check12.com or just call the studio line and leave a message at 339-200-8050.

I want to thank the following people for making Episode 91 happen. For out Twitter followers (and I would follow them all) -@thepete, @dizzygirl, @siskita, @allicette. On Facebook, I would like to thank Mary Helen for a great Springsteen track this week, as well as Sarah B. for her C/S/N/Y requests as well.

If you are looking for the “Jay The Pal” official site, CLICK HERE! Rock on Jay!

Once again, if you want to get a song on the play list for the show via Twitter, send me an (@) message to @CK67 on Twitter, and on Facebook, you can find me HERE.

This was a great episode that is loaded with a lot of music. Please comment on the show and leave feedback.

Cheers,

When putting together this weeks requests, all I could think of was Hendrix/Woodstock, love, peace, sex and being free. A lot of what is in this mix defines those days.

I have to say, this week I am impressed yet again with the outpouring of support for the new format. Also the feedback has been great and it’s much appreciated.

This is the “Show that is controlled by you.” All you have to do to be part is have the ability to hit me up on Twitter, Facebook, the Facebook Group “Sound Check with CK“, or on the studio line at 339-200-8050 and leave your Classic Rock request and maybe even why they are special to you.

The contributors to this weeks show are the following people on Twitter: Dizzygirl, WesOxford, EricEmerick, JaythePal, Allicette, and from Facebook-Philip Trask, JG and Lisa Morse. The songs that make up this show are amazing, and created a mix that one may want to listen to over and over again. Don’t forget, we are FREE on Itunes and also available to download right from this post.

For more on my puppet friend…Jay the Pal….and evidently a huge Queen fan, CLICK HERE.

If I could ask one thing of all the people that listen to this podcast…just one small thing…it would be to tell someone about Sound Check…and turn them on and get them involved. I look forward to your comments on Episode 90 “Caution: Side effect may include…”

When I was putting this mix together, I was thinking of the years in the past. Times when I was growing up, listening to music and what I would have loved to be driving in.

These are some of the songs what come to mind when I wish I had a classic car  to cruise in. I was lucky to have many friends with classic cars and I have so many memories of listening to the songs of the 60′s and 70′s over the roar of loud exhausts. Their is no going back now, so enjoy the mix and the ones that will be here in the weeks to come. 

Remember you can send your request for future mixes to me at Twitter (LINK—> @CK67, or by emailing me at ck@check12check12.com

I have opened up the Studio Line at (339) 200-8050 for you to leave a voice mail for your favorite Classic Rock song and why…maybe we’ll play it out on the show? You never know! 

I also would like to thank Lisa M. and JG at Facebook for their requests this week and also the following people at Twitter. I would recommend following all these great people. Again, thank you for the request and keep the songs coming and tell your friends to follow me @CK67 on Twitter.
