“The Mighty Jim McCarty”, as his friend Ted Nugent calls him, is one of the great legendary blues rock guitarists of the rock era. He hit the top of the charts as a teenager playing with Mitch Ryder and the Detroit Wheels on “Devil With The Blue Dress/Good Golly Miss Molly”. He’s gone on to play with a Who’s Who including Buddy Miles, Cactus (with Carmine Appice and Tim Bogert of Vanilla Fudge fame), Mystery Train and others. He recorded with Jimi Hendrix and Bob Seger. We talk about his life in rock and roll, and we do a Songfest.
My featured song in this episode is “The One I’m Not Supposed To See” from the album East Side Sessions by my band Project Grand Slam. Spotify link HERE.

SPECIAL EPISODE - “Tree Of Life” Again
1 RecommendationsIn 2018, in the immediate aftermath of yet another senseless, hate driven mass shooting at the Tree Of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA, I got fed up with the gun violence that plagues our country and I wrote “Tree Of Life”. It’s a somber, mournful plea to find “a better way” to deal with gun violence. When I started this podcast in 2021 one of the first episodes I put out featured this song after yet another mass shooting. Now here we are in 2022 and the carnage continues, this past week in Buffalo, NY and 7 other cities. There have already been 198 mass shootings in the U.S. this year! This is insane. The politicians continue to do nothing. As my song says, “we must find a better way - today”. Please contact your politicians and demand a solution to this terrible problem.
