RWL_FLASHBACK FRIDAY #014

Author: Radio Wilder June 20, 2024 Duration: 1:54:28

Join us this week on RadioWilderLive.com as we dive into a journey to Bowling Green that was thwarted by the unpredictable year of 2020. Yet, as I tuned in, memories flooded back of my enduring bond with Ty Grimes.

Picture this: Ty and I, perennial truants, savoring beers by the Rio Grande’s edge in El Paso, Texas. Ty, already a drummer at heart, and I, just embarking on my musical voyage. Ty’s prophecy was simple: ‘I am going to play drums for my whole life, while you, my friend, will strum a while before steering into the business world.’ And that’s the tune our lives danced to. Ty’s rhythm graced stages with legendary artists, while I found my cadence in the corporate realm.

In our latest episode, Ty recounts his gigs with Ricky Nelson in Hawaii, where ‘Travelin’ Man’ echoed through the sands of Waikiki, earning standing ovations mid-performance – the epitome of rock ‘n’ roll bliss!

But there’s more! We’re spinning tracks from the Spin Doctors to the electrifying Emma Franklin (Aretha Fraklin's sister), AC/DC to Fall Out Boys, and the mystical All Them Witches to U2. Not to mention the iconic Alvin Lee and the legendary Jimi Hendrix. And if Nighthawks, Earl King, or The Maharajas are new to your playlist, prepare for a treat – they’re fantastic!

So, make your weekend memorable and climb aboard the Wilder Wagon at RadioWilderLive.com. We’re excited to share this ride with you!


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.
