I always enjoyed the music to this one, the lyrics not so much. Glenn Frey was an awesome musician.

Sometimes I'll hear a song on the radio, makes me want to hear it again. That's what motivates me to post stuff.

Looking forward to: Peaches, The Presidents of the United States of America (seriously) @JAC

[Spikedriver]

A bit long, but if you like a good old fashioned bluesy guitar jam, it doesn't get much better than this one...

 

[Spikedriver]

A great one from the Greatest One...

Every time I hear this song it reminds me of Science class in the 6th grade in Louisiana
A girl in my class brought in a small working liquor still as her science project.
It was in production and was creating her family recipe that 3 generations of her family made.
She had a sample bottle of their recipe and we all drank it after school.
She got a good grade for her project and it went home with her on the school bus at the end of the day.
Empty bottle and all.

It was an elementary/middle school/high school all in one. I remember that some middle schoolers rode dirt bikes to school and high schoolers had rifles in rifle racks in their pickup trucks in the dirt parking lot. No one ever got shot and no one ever stole a rifle from anyone else.
I also remember the PE coach handed out lickings with a large wooden paddle after school for any kids sent to him for bad behavior by any teacher during the day.

Joe Cocker
With a little help from my friends


I saw Joe Cocker once at a very small venue just off of an Army base. I was surprised he would play a venue like that.
If you have ever seen him live you will never forget it!
You know that he is putting everything into the singing. He seems almost spastic.
At one point at the end of a song the lights went down and so did Joe. Then two guys run out on stage and lift him up and the lights come back on and he starts the next song like nothing happened.

That likely is Leon Russell there in the top hat playing to Joe Cocker. Yep, JC was spastic. Was that the Mad Dogs and Englishmen Tour?
Roger Miller was seriously silly. In the Summertime. It is so weird to hear songs that I heard when I was little and never heard them since, until this whack a do thread.

I read the comments where one guy said he gave his kids one of his old roger miller albums because they got a record player but didn't have any records. He said later his 7 year old came around the corner singing do whaca do whacca do

 

[Patchouli]

My daughter is quite the critic, and she says yes on Roger Miller. Remember how popular Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra were a few years back with kids young enough to be their great grandchildren?
