Friday Night Music-Randy redux

Friday, April 30, 2010

Okay, I know I’ve done him before, but I’m a Randy Newman fanatic, and anyway, this has more than a a passing relevance to current events.

Friday Night Music-Sam Cooke

Friday, April 23, 2010

Several years ago I spent a good part of an evening trying to find Sam Cooke videos. They didn’t exist, at least not on youtube, except for music only videos, which are not allowed on this feature. I think I settled for Fats Domino, but I noted on the post that I had been frustrated […]

Friday Night Music-The Duke

Friday, April 16, 2010

This song was a recent oldie when I got my first transistor radio. A seminal work. Gene Chandler doing Duke of Earl. I love this video. The man loves his work.

Friday Night Music

Friday, April 2, 2010

This being Good Friday I was once again toying with the idea of posting “Always Look on the Bright Side of Life” from The Life of Brian. However, starting with that song, I began playing the links on youtube. I can’t begin to reconstruct the stream of consciousness that led me to this, but I […]

Friday Night Music-Anniversary Edition

Friday, March 19, 2010

Today is the 32nd anniversary of my marriage to one of the most saint like persons on earth. She has had to be, to put up with me. So, this song’s for her. Hard to believe Elton John was ever so young.

Friday, March 12, 2010

Friday Night Music

Friday, March 5, 2010

It’s that time again. I do feel like I’m cheating, since I haven’t done much actual blogging this week, so I really should be dispensing incisive commentary, but as I said in my last post, the world of politics is getting too depressing for mere words, even if those words are strung together by a […]

Friday Night Music-Richard Julian

Friday, February 26, 2010

I first heard about Richard Julian in an article in the Times. He played with Norah Jones, but the article, as I recall it, was about his own work and how good it was. I took a chance and ordered two of his CDs and enjoyed them a lot. Here he is with Good Life:

Friday Night Music, John Mellencamp

Friday, February 19, 2010

Okay, so last night there was discussion on the Olbermann show about the possibility of drafting Indiana native John Mellencamp to run for the Senate against probable Republican Candidate and corrupt lobbyist Dan Coats. It probably won’t go anywhere, considering the process forced on the Indiana Democrats by DINO Evan Bayh. Personally, I think he’d […]
