My apologies if you were anticipating Christmas music. You’re on your own if that’s the case. This should help drown out the vile sounds of Jingle Bell Rock.

Joan did a good job but I like Paul better.Joan did a good job but I like Paul better.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that this is a Christmas song. It’s very political and it rocks. I was amazed when I found out it was Billy Joel because I thought he had depleted his arsenal.
Greetings from Portland!! Actually, this ought to be called “Strolling around Jamison Square Park.” 🙂
Love the off beat of this song.

Yeah, the lyrics are a little heavy… I just like the strange tempo.

Jethro Tull – Living in the Past – Live 1976
Silly question time. For me I have always had two kinds of music. One was power music, songs that lit my fire. And the other kind was Heart music. Songs that touched my heart on various levels. Anything else was fun music, just sort of tickled the fancy a bit.
Is this weird?
I don’t think it’s weird.
Does it feel weird?
No.
Hit enter too soon.
No, it’s not weird. Depends on my mood as to what goes in my ear to fill my head.
That’s an answer to Hooda’s question.
One from power
One from heart
One from fun
Now I understand your, above, statement:
Harbor Lights is definitely a heart song.
One of my favorites as well…
Echo & The Bunnymen – Do It Clean
Alan Parsons Project The Raven
Alan Parsons – The Eagle will rise again
Alan Parsons Project – Sirius/Eye In The Sky
Aztec Camera – Jump
Y’all sure petered out fast. Pffttt…

The mean streets of 14th & Glisan?

No cigar…
hmmm teasing me with Clinton clues
One of my guilty pleasures
One of my Mom’s favorite entertainers (quite by accident).
My sister wanted a Neil Young record for her birthday – Mom could only remember the name Neil.
She presented Neil Diamond to my sister who got the saddest look on her face.
Mom listened to N. Diamond and instantly loved the man!
(yes, Maggie did get to pick up her Neil Young record)
(congratulations on getting the video to post, nwog)
aw shucks Ebb. With you, and Zooey prodding my plodding we all share my success’s.
Speaking of Boz this is one of my alltime favorite blues collaborations. It’s long, but Duane Allmans guitar solo always leaves me stunned to the wall.
Link Wray – Rumble (Full Version/Live)
Robert Gordon with Link Wray-flying saucers rock n’ roll
