Friday Night Music-Blood, Sweat and Tears

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

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

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

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

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

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 […]

Friday Night Music: Life in the Bush of Ghosts

Things have been a bit slow at work lately. As I cruised the net during some down time I came across David Byrne’s blog, from which I followed a few links and discovered that My Life in the Bush of Ghosts, an album he did paired with Brian Eno, is now available in a remastered […]

Friday Night Music-Little Richard

One of the originals. Good Golly Miss Molly: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhybWFjuN2g[/youtube] Next, as a free bonus, something almost completely different. Who would think you could make this song rock? [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtgFVk70yMc[/youtube]

Friday Night Music, Fats Domino

Okay, so I was looking for Sam Cooke, but there’s slim pickings at youtube for one of the greatest rock/soul pioneers. I try to avoid the videos that just consist of music and still pictures, but that’s pretty much all there is on Sam. At least on that Sam. I also discovered that there is […]

Friday Night Music-The Band and Friends
