STUFF WE NEVER GET AROUND TO FEATURING!




How many of us have put off stuff we know we need to do? The answer is EVERYONE! Well, Tim and I are no different than anyone else. I have some house projects that are half done. My bathroom tile is almost done. I just need to grout it and replace the trim and baseboard. And that's only one project! I won't bore you with the rest of the honey-do's!!! Know what I'm sayin??? I'm sure Tim has numerous things he needs to do around his house, too! And so it goes.

Well, the same thing happens to me and Tim when it comes to CoolVibe tunes. Between the two of us, we  have tons of oldies tunes that we've been meaning to bring to your attention on the CoolVibe program, but we never get around to featuring them. For example, I came across an old doo wop song from an obscure group from the latter part of the 1950s and I have to tell you...I think it's one of the greatest doo wop songs I've ever heard. And I never get around to playing it primarily because I can't find any information on the group! What a ridiculous excuse for not featuring a song. I guarantee you'd love the song. And that's just one song! Tim and I have found many songs where we find very little info about the artist. That's just the way it is. Some groups get together and record a couple of songs and then POOF! Gone!

My New Years resolution is to get those tunes on the Vicksburg Chrysler CoolVibe Show. Maybe Tim and I can do a special segment with maybe a week of Tim's oldies songs that he never gets around to featuring and then I'll do the same....FIVE SONGS DENNIS HAS BEEN MEANING TO PLAY BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT!!!

There! I put in writing!!! Okay, that's it! I'll tell Tim to get them ready regardless of whether we find info on the artist or not!!! Just a couple of other things. I promise they will be really cool tunes...songs you may very well recall once you hear them! I promise they'll all pass the "Dennis and Tim" Test!!! You know about that test don't you? It's gotta be either really good...and if it's not, it's gotta bring back some great memories!!! That's what it's all about, right???

You know maybe, just maybe YOU have some rare oldies tunes. Don't hesitate to reply to any of these posts with some obscure oldies tune of your liking. We will do everything we can to get that song on the air with Kudos to you!!!

The Great Oldies Tunes You May Have Missed!



Greetings CoolVibe Fans and Happy New Year!


I confess. I absolutely LOVE unearthing songs from the Oldies era (50s, 60s thru mid 70s). Especially ones  that I think most people simply missed (like the one above). There are truly some great old songs out there. For example, a while back, we featured a great song from British blues man, John Mayall titled "Room To Move". In my circles back in the 70s, it was a fairly popular song. The album sold quite well but it wasn't a widely known song, but that's understandable because it was never released as a single. Hey, let me tell you something. That's OUR loss! Room To Move is a great tune and regardless of whether you remember hearing it back in the 70s, take it from me, you'd love hearing it - even if you never heard it before.

See what I mean? There is practically an unlimited supply of great oldies music that you may have missed - and that's okay! Tim and I have wide and varied taste in our generation's music and we're delighted to dig them up and play them for you! Tim has an uncanny way of finding rarely heard oldies tunes from the 50s and 60's while I'm equally versed in 60s music and have a slight upper hand finding those rare 70's tunes. So don't be surprised when the next time you tune into the Vicksburg Chrysler CoolVibe, you hear a song you've never heard before. We do the work and you can enjoy the songs, wherever you are! Have a great old tune you haven't heard in a long time? Even if all you can recall is a part of the song or maybe a part of the lyrics, let us know. right here or you can email us at, coolvibe101@gmail.com. We consider it a clue. We'll do everything we can to solve the mystery!
