Welcome to the One Hit Wonders series on Rock & Roll Flashback!  Back in Rock and Roll Flashback podcast episode numbers 33 and 34 I discussed the development of Psychedelic Rock music in the 1960's and 1970's.  Today's podcast episode will focus on four psychedelic rock songs released during the late 1960's that I would characterize as one hit wonders.  These four songs by four different bands featured some of the studio experimentation, distortion effects, and trippy lyrics that were being incorporated in the emerging psychedelic rock genre in the late 1960's. We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.

Welcome to another edition of Rock and Roll Flashback!  This episode is going to be highly personal, featuring songs that I wrote for my family and demo recorded.  Honestly, unless you knew Sally Lehman or personally know me, this podcast may not be of interest to you.  At any rate, I'm Jumpin' John, and the story of my life revolves around the wonderful relationship that I had with the love of my life:  Sally Lehman McDermott.  Sally was my everything.  She was my best friend, my soul mate, my confidant, my beacon of light, my true love.  Had I never met her, I would neither have enjoyed our fifty years together, nor the lives of our daughters or of our granddaughters.  Music has the mysterious power to trigger deep emotions and re-awaken memories.  The My Musical Memories series here on Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts explores the various ways that music was an integral part of my life with Sally.  I'm calling today's podcast, Songs For Sally & Family.  It is Part 6 of the My Musical Memories series on Rock and Roll Flashback podcasts.  Part 6 will focus on some of the hundreds of songs that I wrote for and about my sweet Sally and our daughters.  We welcome your feedback, so please feel free to click on this link and let us know your thoughts and/or suggestions via phone text!All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott.
