Classic rock talk with The Classic Rock Addict.
At the Summer 2025 Orlando CD and Record Show, I sat down with several record collectors at the event to find out what their favorite record is and some of their best concert memories.
My conversation with retired musician Patrick Frost was wide ranging- a recording with Eric Clapton and Greg Allan, his collection of 7,000 records, his "almost close encounter" with Frank Zappa, performing the Grand Funk song "Closer to Home" for veterans, performing with Tiny Tim, and hanging out with Paul Simon and Gloria Estefan!
ABOUT ME
Hello- I'm Mark Patrick, a self-professed Classic Rock addict… I grew up in the 70s, when some of the greatest rock music ever recorded, was on the radio… and at your local record store! I’ve built an extensive vinyl collection over the past few years of all the classic albums I remember…and I’ve discovered even more during my hundreds of hours digging through rock history. If you’re into record collecting, I’ll guide you to the must-haves for your collection, because, you know, you can’t buy them all. Or, if you're just into classic rock … I’ll share some of the very interesting stories behind the music. Are you ready to rock?!
