Friday Night Music-Pat Benatar

A search of my past blog posts indicates I haven’t put up a Pat Benatar video, unless I did so on my old blog. One of the mysteries of youtube is the fact that some artists are well represented, while with others there’s slim pickings. There’s only one decent video of Hit Me With Your […]

Friday Night Music-Pink Floyd

Money

Come drinking

Almost forgot, but don’t you forget. Drinking Liberally, tomorrow night at 6:30. The Bulkeley House in New London, on Bank Street. We’re hoping to have a big crowd. We’ll certainly have plenty to talk about, which, if truth be told, we do more liberally than drink. There’s the past election, in which we can wallow, […]

Dancing in the Streets

Marching Song

Friday Night Music-Alejandro Escovedo

A Liberal Drinker told me about this fellow, and sent me some links, for which I am very grateful, since it’s getting harder and harder to come up with new artists to feature. I’ll readily admit I never heard of the guy before, but he’s pretty good, and I like the fact that he appears […]

Friday Night Music-Bela Fleck

I can’t begin to even categorize this guy, but his music is great. A couple of examples: Big Country: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FXHOyqHzupk[/youtube] A Moment So Close: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFwrJ1rd_xQ[/youtube]
