RWL_FLASHBACK FRIDAY #009

Author: Radio Wilder May 16, 2024 Duration: 2:03:41

It was 2020, the year when the world paused. The RadioWilderLive.com crew found rhythm in the quiet - a chance to strum a tune of adventure we’d never played before. We set our sights on the US national parks, with Yellowstone National Park taking the lead.

Two SUVs, packed to the brim with the essentials - food for the soul and fuel for the spirit (and yes, a little liquor for laughter!).

As we rolled into Yellowstone, time slowed down. We weren’t just visitors; we were part of the landscape. Picnic lunches became feasts of freedom, and our cabins at night - sanctuaries of serenity.

In the Badlands of South Dakota, we dined al fresco, the rugged beauty a backdrop to our banquet.

This Flashback Show, aptly named National Park Vacation, echoes the euphoria of those days. “Learning to Fly” by Tom Petty wasn’t just a song; it was our anthem. And “Red, Red Wine”? More than a tune, it was a toast to togetherness, covered beautifully by Neil Diamond and UB40.

“Eight Miles High” by the Byrds soared as high as our spirits, and Jimmy Cliff assured us, “You Can Get It If You Really Want” - and get it, we did. Good News segment spotlighted legends: Jeff Beck, Les Paul, and Sam Cooke.

“Rock On” by T. Rex wasn’t just a song; it was a command, and we obeyed. Celebrations were in order: Tenant Property Protection’s 15th and Ashley Earick’s 17th anniversaries - milestones on our wilder journey.

And a special shout-out to our friends from Denmark on their recent successful tour! And a heartfelt thank you to our listeners, the wilder ones, for tuning in to RadioWilderLive.com and making us a part of your day.


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.
