View this in your browser. Today: Surrender to a Cheap Trick My friend and guitar teacher Keith Hartel returns today to delve into the work of Rick Nielsen of Cheap Trick. We'll learn how to play Surrender and a bit of I Want You To Want Me. As usual, the conversation with Keith goes all over, and includes mentions of the following topics, musicians and bands: AC/DC Aerosmith Ace Frehley Badfinger Cheap Trick Chicken Picking Cream Gibson Les Paul Gibson SG James Burton Jeff Beck Jimi Hendrix Jimmy Page Joe Perry KISS Led Zeppelin Link Wray Lita Ford Live at Leeds Marc Bolan Mick Ronson Orange Amps Paul Stanley Pete Townshend Peter Criss Plush Amps Power Chords Power Pop Ross The Boss The Beatles The Kinks The Move The Raspberries The Rolling Stones The Who Tony Iommi T. Rex Tyrannosaurus Rex Van Halen Vinyl on HBO This was my favorite lesson yet and I hope you enjoy it eve if you don't play guitar. I'm sure Keith will be back before much longer. If you'd like to take lessons with Keith, contact him at the Guitar Bar in Hoboken or hit him up on Facebook. Play "Surrender" along at home, kids! Last Week: Kaz Underworld Last week's show features my interview with Kaz about his long career and new book Underworld: From Hoboken To Hollywood. Thanks again to WORD Jersey City for hosting us! (BTW, I did point out to them I'm not the Savior and they did put a space between CHRIS and T on the sign above.) If you listened to the podcast you may have heard Kaz mention the short Underworld cartoons for which I provided the voice of Snuff. Find them online here and see one of my favorites, below. Watch the Underworld cartoon "Boobs", above. Looking back, it's been a great thirty years. The Marathon is ON! The Annual WFMU Fundraising Marathon is now in full effect.

I'd like to go out with a nice, strong showing not just for Aerial View but for Bowling For Truth, The Nightmare Lounge, Communication Breakdown, this See You Next Tue! newsletter and my thirty year contribution to the greatest platform for radio innovation this planet has ever seen. I wouldn't have a career in radio without my experience at WFMU and as I keep saying, so much in my life has begun with the station that "frequently modulates but never vacillates".
