Friday Night Music-Early Edition

Friday, August 13, 2010

Since I probably won’t have internet access again today, this is going up early. Originally I intended to find a good version of Moonlight in Vermont, but the only actual video I could find (as opposed to music with a picture of the artist) was by Frank Sinatra. I realize he was immensely talented, but […]

Friday Night Music-A Summer Song

Friday, August 6, 2010

I am somewhat embarrassed to admit that Chad and Jeremy were among my very favorite acts at the start of the British Invasion. I well remember being greatly disappointed when they backed out of headlining a “Big D Big Show” at the Bushnell in 1965 or thereabouts. I bought all their albums. What can I […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, July 30, 2010

I try not to repeat myself on this feature, which is getting harder and harder. I checked, and, surprisingly, I haven’t put up Jefferson Airplane/Starship before, at least not since I moved from .Mac to WordPress lo those many years ago. A couple of decent clips of some of their best songs, White Rabbit: And […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, July 23, 2010

Have I already done Linda Ronstadt? I should keep a list. Well, she deserves an encore if I have, since she’s one of the few rock stars who could also actually, really, sing. Here’s a couple of songs from 1977 performances, Desperado and Blue Bayou: And one more for good measure, since I’m a big […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, July 16, 2010

I actually marked this song down as a possible last week. It didn’t quite fit in with the summertime theme for last Friday, but it came to mind while I was coming up for titles. I decided that it was a go for this week since, at least the title, pretty much sums up my […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, July 9, 2010

It’s hot out there. Watch them all, or sample. Summertime, first Janis, then Ella. You need to be a certain age to remember this one: Mungo Jerry, In the Summertime. No live versions from the Lovin’ Spoonful, but Joe Cocker does a great job on Summer in the City. And finally, it really is Too […]

Friday Night Fourth of July Music-And More!

Friday, July 2, 2010

This goes up early, since we have company coming. This being the Fourth of July Weekend, it’s only appropriate that we feature our National Anthem, in this case memorably performed by Marvin Gaye: Now, if you think Marvin drew that out a bit, he can’t hold a candle to the late Bleeding Gums Murphy, who […]

Friday Night Music and a bit of mindless blather

Friday, June 25, 2010

I listened to this song a lot back in the day. At least, I distinctly recall the song starting, but by the time it ended – well, all I can say is that my memory is fuzzy. I can’t imagine why. Roundabout by Yes. On a more political note, I have, for the most part, […]

Early 70s, and at least somewhat appropriate for Father’s Day, Danny’s Song, by Loggins and Messina

Friday Night Music-Cab Calloway

Friday, June 4, 2010

I came upon this while free associating on youtube, and I set it aside for some future time, which time has now arrived. Reefer Man:
