Friday Night Music-The Kinks

Friday, September 19, 2008

Harmony not quite so sweet as in the past, but that’s okay.

Friday Night Music-Cream

Friday, July 18, 2008

Thanks to a commenter for suggesting this. It lightened my workload tonight, and you can’t go wrong with Cream. From their Farewell Concert, 1968 edition. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r6e5Yhkx3UM[/youtube]
