But Seriously Folks... Farewell and thanks to Aerosmith, and a sincere tribute to Sir John Mayall. It's APEisode 33

You Should Know This Song

We're back at it, but with a little less silliness (kind of). We're still APEZ, but we all lost an icon with the passing of John Mayall. We wanted to convey the enormity of his contribution to Rock and Roll. Yes, he was largely a Blues and Jazz musician. However, the number of R&R musicians to pass through his bands is staggering. We even have a special playlist just for this APEisode here.
We open with some nestkeeping, mentioning recent items of note. The retirement of Aerosmith, and what they've meant to us and to Rock music. New music from Flock of Seagulls, and Reid's definitely APEZworthy Beatles Endeavor.
Then, we ask your indulgence as we attempt to honor one of the TRUE legends of music in John Mayall. No challenges, very little of the usual sarcasm and attempts at wittiness. Just a heartfelt shot at sharing the deep impact he had on the lives and careers of many, many musicians. The list is long and lustrous, as was Sir Mayall's career.
So lift a glass, and come join us un toasting the Father of the British Blues, and 'great uncle' to many of Rock and Roll's biggest names. The APEZ get serious for just a minute, and you don't want to miss that. Listen to APEisode 33 now.
