I'm back, my friends, with a sonic buffet for your ears to devour. This episode of Dives is jam-packed with Melodic Rock goodness. There are some Rock and Pop. A taste of Heartland. A heaping helping of AOR and we bit of Westcoast. I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you back here for the next new episode in a couple of weeks. 🤘

After a couple of weeks' break, I'm back with a brand-new episode for your ears to enjoy. We're in the 80s, 1983 through 1992 to be exact. I've included just about every genre of Melodic Rock for this show. AOR, Hard Rock, Pop, Hi-Tech, and WestCoast are all represented. I had a ton of fun curating this one, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed creating it. I'll see you in two weeks for the next DeepDives, my friends. 🤘

I'm back with a brand new episode of DeepDives for your ears to enjoy. Before the show starts properly, I pay tribute to The Prince of Darkness, Ozzy Osbourne, who passed away today at 76. He's shown up on more than a few occasions here on Dives & he will be missed. Afterwards, it's on to the show I had planned for you...filled with AOR, Melodic Rock, Westcoast, Synthwave & Pop. I hope you enjoy & I'll be back in a coup...

After a couple of episodes in some different waters I've sailed us back to a much more familiar diving hole, 1980's Melodic Rock and AOR. 1983 through 1992 to be specific. This episode is filled with songs I've not played in years along with several you haven't heard at all on a Dive. Sit back, enjoy a cold one and enjoy some of the best music on God's good earth. I'll see you next week, my friends. 🤘

Last week we lost one of my musical heroes, Brian Wilson. Ever since I put to bed last week's Live Dive, I've been listening to Brian's music pretty much nonstop. I thought I'd wait to put out a tribute show celebrating Brian's music, but my ears and heart just wouldn't let me. So, it's with a heavy heart equally full of sadness for the loss and gratitude for the music he left behind that I curated this episode. I decided to focus ...

Here's my latest escape. For this episode of DeepDives I've collected some of my favorite live songs pulled from decades of concerts both common and quite hard to find. I've taken great care in sequencing these songs as to flow in and out of each other creating (hopefully) a most enjoyable listening experience. Look for a tribute to the late great, Brian Wilson at the top of the show. Also look for a special episode of Dives next m...

As the start of summer is just around the corner later this month I thought now would be a good time to put out the sequel to January's Cold Ones Dive. All the songs revolve around the theme of 'Heat". 🔥 All the usual DeepDives formats are in here spanning the years 1979 through 2022. I hope you enjoy, my friends and I'll see you back here next week for a brand new episode for your ears to enjoy. 🤘

My friends, here's this week's offering. A 1982 through 1995 Dive featuring AOR, Melodic Rock, Hard Rock, Hi-Tech & a smidge of WestCoast. This was a fun episode to put together. I added a few songs that might not necessarily be all that deep but they sure aren't ones you'll hear on the radio that's for sure. I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you back here next week for a brand new  DeepDives. I'm thinking about a "Hot Ones" episo...

This is the corrected version of this week's show. I played the wrong, Living In A Box, song and that mistake was driving me nuts. 😁 

After a week spent playing WestCoast I was chomping at the bit to transition into some Hi-Tech. This episode has a little bit of Hi-tech everything, all between the years 1984 through 1994. Hi-Tech AOR, Melodic Rock, Classic Rock, Pop & R&B. These are the salad years of Hi-Tech, and everyone...

After a week spent playing WestCoast I was chomping at the bit to transition into some Hi-Tech. This episode has a little bit of Hi-tech everything, all between the years 1984 through 1994. Hi-Tech AOR, Melodic Rock, Classic Rock, Pop & R&B. These are the salad years of Hi-Tech, and everyone was dipping a toe into its sounds. You're going to be surprised at some of the artists you'll find in this week's show. My friends, I ...

Here's another round of some of my favorite WestCoast songs spanning the last six decades, from 1977 through to just a couple of weeks ago. Some might say they don't make music like this anymore. I hope with this episode I'll be able to prove those folks wrong. Enjoy, my friends and I'll see you next week for another Dive for your ears to enjoy. 🤘

I'm back with a Ladies's Night episode of DeapDives for your ears to enjoy. 🎶 This week every song features a lady's name in the title. Most of the time it's the only word in the title. For specialty themed shows I typically relax the song and artist paramotors and this episode was no exception. These are mostly artists that have made plenty of Dives appearances in previous episodes but as the usual I've added plenty of surprises ...

Enjoy my friends. Here's the third part in an unintentional three-part series exploring the harder side of Dives. Last week I had a cataract removed from my left eye. Next week the right eye gets its turn. I'm not getting older, I'm just getting better. 😁 While this week I'm able to bring to you a new show, next week we'll be dark Rest assured I'll be working on the following weeks show. See you in two weeks' time, everyone. 🤘

Here's another Dive off the waters of Polished AOR & Melodic Rock. This week we're keeping it between the navigational buoys of 1982 and 1992. Once again, while the guitars may not be dialed up to eleven, they are just a tad more raucous than even the last week's excursion. My friends, I hope you enjoy, and I'll see you in seven days! 🤘

After taking an unexpected week off I'm back with a new episode for your ears to enjoy. Good lord willing, and the creek she don't rise, that will be the last break for the foreseeable future. I've had enough surprises for 2025. 🤣 This week's Dive has the guitars cranked up, if not to eleven, then at least a moderate eight, with AOR and Melodic Rock spanning the years, 1980 through 1994. I'll see you next week, my friends with a b...

Hello, my friends. This week was so busy for me I wasn't able to put together a proper show. However, I do want to to have something for your ears to enjoy. Here is an episode from August of, 2021.

I WILL be back with a fresh episode ...

Here is this weeks, "Good Acoustics" DeepDives. This episode is filled with Dives artists turning down the amps, for the most part, and letting roll with some awesome melodies that, in this format, truly get the chance to shine. I hope you enjoy this slight change of pace and I'll be back next week with the guitars cranked up to, eleven. 🤘
