Friday Night Music-Summertime

Friday, July 25, 2008

The Seasons right. I think I managed to find a version in which Brian Wilson actually appears. Check out the girls in the background. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9_ZPBhG47Y[/youtube]

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]

Friday Night Music-Blood, Sweat and Tears

Friday, July 11, 2008

Every week it gets harder to dig into the old memory hole to come up with a different group. Luckily, I grew up in the 60’s and the supply of great music seems endless. Nonetheless, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rjMB0JotHM[/youtube]

Friday Night Music-Blues Project

Friday, June 27, 2008

Every week it gets harder to dredge up a different artist or group. Luckily there’s lots of good stuff out there. This week someone sent me an email and mentioned Seatrain, which I saw in concert a couple of times while I was in college. For some reason, maybe it was the fact that they […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, June 20, 2008

I thought about posting this once before, but held back. This is a song that had a hugely profound impact when it was released, more than any single Dylan song. It’s become a bit of a cliche, I guess. The words don’t necessarily relate to today’s events, but the title does. Maybe this is just […]

Friday Night Music-The Doors

Friday, June 13, 2008

I don’t think I’ve done them yet, and they’re certainly in the pantheon. And there’s a Connecticut connection. Wasn’t there that little incident in Connecticut? Actual footage below the main attraction.

Friday Night Music-Bo Diddley

Friday, June 6, 2008

I have to confess that I have no recollection of Bo Diddley. He may have peaked on the charts before my time, which certainly proves he was a rock pioneer. But since he died this week, I thought I’d scout around and find some of his stuff. First, something I never knew, but found out […]

Friday Night Music-Everly Brothers

Friday, May 30, 2008

If I have any obsessive compulsive readers, they may have noticed that there was no Friday night music two weeks ago (or was it three?). I had prepared this post, but apparently never hit the publish button, so it remained, unbeknownst to me, in among the drafts, those orphaned pieces of writing that didn’t make […]
