đŸŽ¶ Flashback Time! đŸŽ¶

Saw a post yesterday about 60s/70s heartthrob Bobby Sherman—what a voice! Some of my musician friends used to play in the band that backed him up, including the talented Kenny Smith, one solid bass player.

When I first started playing with Sonny Farlow, we had a month-long trio gig on El Paso’s infamous Dyer Street. Let me tell you—playing as a trio with two seasoned pros like Sonny and Kenny was no joke! I learned a ton, especially how vital it is for bass players and drummers to lock in tight.

We were pulling $90 a night, three nights a week—not bad for the time. One night, the club owner said there’d be a wedding during our Friday night set. Seemed a little odd, but hey, rock n’ roll life, right?

Well... at 10 PM, what looked like a full-on brawl broke out. Turns out the jilted ex showed up—with a knife—and tried to go after the groom! 😳 Luckily, he was subdued, and the wedding still happened. We stuck around and played an extra hour—and the bride tipped us $200 for staying. Not a bad night’s work!

Ahhh, the wild days of rock n’ roll. One more fond memory: I think the club owner liked me—she’d leave a shot of whiskey next to my stool. I was 17. My bandmates were in their 20s. It was a ride.

👉 No knives allowed—but LOTS of music and memories on this week’s Radio Wilder show! Tune in and relive the good times with us. đŸŽžđŸ„ƒ

Tune into Radio Wilder for a raw, personal journey through sound and memory, hosted by former drummer Harry Wilder Sleighel. This isn't a curated playlist or a formal interview show; it's the sonic diary of a life lived in rhythm. Each episode blends music with intimate, off-the-cuff stories drawn directly from over sixty years of a Rock 'n' Roll ethos-a perspective he's still actively living. The podcast feels like a late-night conversation in a backstage green room, where tales of the road, the studio, and the evolution of an artist's spirit flow as freely as the tracks he plays. You'll hear the records that shaped him, the behind-the-scenes moments that defined him, and the ongoing passion that fuels him. It’s this unique fusion of personal narrative and musical selection that naturally builds what listeners call the "Wilder Nation"-a community connected by authentic stories and the timeless power of a great song. Expect a direct, unvarnished, and deeply human connection in every installment, where the line between the artist and the audience dissolves.
