Show Notes

As a little boy, Rocky Birely sat at the feet of his father as he performed. Fast forward to adulthood and Rocky is leading the band that his father began in the early 1960s - the Ray Birely Orchestra - while keeping the spirit of his father and the music he loved alive. With his personal stories of Glenn Miller, Doris Day, Hank Mancini and even Art Garfunkel, Rocky talks about his musical journey from big band to Motown and everything in-between.
