Special Guests: Mike and Cassie Peel of Rarity Rock Radio

Rarity Rock Radio in Tuscon, AZ

Multi-Genre Virtual Residency

https://rarityrockradio.com

Their mission is to exposure their listeners to under the radar rock from the past and present. The idea for the station was born after seeing an Ian Hunter show at The Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. Mike and Cassie said they were always inspired to find new music – doing lots of crate digging and getting to see many shows when living in LA for 10 years. Casssie worked at a radio station in California and they both worked in a radio station in Tuscon.

They will play our song Rejuvenate daily, 3 times per day. From February 14 through February 20th.

“We hope that people are inspired by our ineptitude.”

Notes:

1. This song is harmonically very simple but the challenge is that the lengths of each line are determined by the lyrics so the verses have uneven amounts of measures per line. The verse chords are noted with the amount of measures to play the chord in parentheses.

There’s an interesting congruence in that, Mike and Cassie brought up Asbury Park, NJ as being at the root of their station and, the final product of Rejuvenate has a “wall of sound” quality that reminds me of Springsteen at times.

The intention of the band was that everyone would be treated well and fairly.

Dan talks about his influences. Heavy Metal, Death Metal, Frank Zappa, Classic Jazz, Miles Davis, Wayne Shorter. Dan and Keith attended Bard College together.

My influence is The Beatles because I listened to them at an early age and all the harmonic, melodic and rhythmic sensibilities are ingrained.
