Wow… over 2,000 responses on last week’s post! 🎸🔥

One of you said it must’ve been the rock 'n' roll story that lit the fire. A real one. And that got me thinking...

What if?

What if things had gone just a little differently for my band, Sonny Farlow and the Resurrection?

🎤 We were set to open for Paul Revere and the Raiders at the Ruidoso Convention Center; TV stars with gold records like Kicks, Hungry, and Indian Reservation. But ticket sales were slow... and the show got canned.

🎸 Next up: Opening for Gary Lewis and the Playboys at Liberty Hall in El Paso. They were #1 with This Diamond Ring, and I was pumped, my younger brother Philip was finally gonna see me play. But… they asked for union cards. We didn’t have any. No card, no gig.

🌉 And then, the big one. Fillmore West. Yes, THAT Fillmore West in San Francisco, where Hendrix, Joplin, The Doors, and so many legends played. We were booked. Ready. Signed. Then two of our guys backed out. One joined the Navy, the other had kids and a day job. Just like that… the dream show was off.

It’s wild to look back and think… what might have been?

But I’m still here, still rocking, and still grateful to share these stories with all of you.

Keep the music—and the memories—alive. 🎶✨

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.
