Monday July 13 2020 – I can’t recall a time when I was told I couldn’t play something that had already been released to the public via streaming sites or YouTube. But that’s exactly what’s happening with some good friends of mine.
Bonnie and Taylor Sims are both Bonnie & the Clydes and a side project called Everybody Loves an Outlaw. An ELAO song called “I See Red” hit twelve million spins on Spotify. Add in the 2+ million plays on YouTube and you have a verified hit. BUT … radio cannot play it. So I cannot play it. BUT – I can share it. Here only. Not on the show. Not until I’m told I can by the label. In the meantime, here’s a new video from Bonnie & Taylor doing the hit “solo.”
Another new release is also sitting in my catalog that I can’t play on the radio, but can share here. “All the Misery Money Can Buy” is the latest from my pals in Gasoline Lollipops. It’s available wherever you get your music. And it’s the best thing they’ve done to date. The new album, recorded in Louisiana, is due out September 11.

In these “Uncertain Times,” please help 
Not only was Cass standing behind a Plexiglas panel, she also had to wear a mask to sing. That was a bit overkill IMO. There was easily twenty-five feet between the stage and the closest booths. That said, big ups to the staff at Dazzle for making it a special evening for the small crowd in attendance.
