Drummer Dr. Ed Roth found a way to connect his music with everyone, like no one else before. The Bridgeport/Saginaw area musician studied music at Western Michigan University. And while he can't claim a gold or platinum album in his Michigan Music History, he can claim that he studies the music and how it connects to the minds of individuals, at every stage of life.

His detailed work dives into the musical dopamine from birth to hospice/end of life, covering what connects and why. Music is so important to everyone, as you will hear, that we are "all born musicians." This very special two-part series is as humorous as it is important and integral to life as we know it, and why music is the natural drug. Dig into Part 1 now!

Army Veteran, Bluesman, Soul singer, jam Brother, Greg Nagy from Davison wears many hats in the Michigan music scene. Found in many different configurations as a guitarist/vocalist/songwriter, Nagy is kindhearted, open to being in the moments, and heavy on being real in his music. Nagy knows the legends, assists the new generation and is blazing his own path as a dominant Billboard chart topping blues artist.

Also moonlighting with Larry McCray's touring band, Nagy came to prominence in the legendary band Root Doctor. His stories from his earliest days and shows, award ceremonies, right through to his brand new album The Real You (heard on all important blues stations everywhere!) gives testimony to why Greg is your favorite player's favorite player. You won't quit listening or laughing. Here is Part two, Greg takes conversation to new heights with his ideas on pop music, Grateful Dead, Steely Dan, Dick Wagner, Ray Goodman working with Motorcity Josh, Thornetta Davis, Larry McCray and fanboying Albert King. A MUST LISTEN for the ages...

Where has the time gone?!!

We began coming straight out of the Covid closures in the back of Alan Garcia's garage podcast studio in Essexville in February of 2021. Now we fire up in our new comfy confines of the Bay City Historical Museum Second Floor where the Michigan Rock and Roll Legends displays can be witnessed. When we first moved to the Museum, you could hear us trying areas, tables, spaces. Now we have our own 'couch relaxed' room, boom mic'd and offering even more quality as our MMHP989 brand continues to expand by word of mouth from music lover to music lover, musician to musician, fan to DJ, author to Podcaster. We are 118 episodes deep according to Apple Podcasting--sounds about right!

Because of YOU listeners and our first class guests, we are getting requests from more music legends now to help tell their story and be featured on our show. As we roll into year four, we plan to expand the horizons and look at our show from other angles. The best is yet to come!

In our four year catch up, Dr. J dishes out the details behind our new first class operation, discusses state of the state of the amazing Michigan Rock Hall (have you visited it yet?), we talk about our joy of the show and how its reached beyond the state of Michigan, and we get a deep dive into an artist whom has passed away from Saginaw, songwriter Bob Buchanan who wrote the great Hickory Wind with the late Gram Parsons while on a train, members of the International Submarine Band. Told only as Sir Fred can, bruises and all! We are lucky to have this outlet for this story--so stick around for it. Sit back and celebrate our Fourth Anniversary with the MMHP989!
