Friday Night Music

Friday, June 1, 2018

Not the usual this Friday night. Nothing from the 60’s. Quite a few years ago my son and I went to see *Me and My Girl* at the Weston Theater in Vermont. We enjoyed it immensely. In my humble opinion the showstopper song is The Lambeth Walk. I listened to the Broadway soundtrack a few […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, May 18, 2018

This is posted a bit early, it not actually being Friday night at the moment, because I’ll be in Hartford later casting my vote for Chris Murphy at the convention.  I will freely admit that I am woefully ignorant about current music, though what I’ve heard doesn’t impress, but on occasion I’ve followed up on […]

Friday Night Music-A dynamic duo

Friday, May 11, 2018

It really is fun wandering around youtube looking for music. I never knew these two guys played together. George Harrison and Paul Simon, one song penned by each.

Friday Night Music

Friday, May 4, 2018

Last week we were on the road, so I didn’t post any music, but we’re back, so here goes. When this song came out I listened to it over and over, and to this day I don’t think a lot of the verses make a whole lot of thematic sense. There’s lots of allusions, and […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, April 20, 2018

I suppose there are some that might call this a bit schmaltzy, but I think it’s a great song, and John Denver tended to be underrated. He and Mama Cass team up here to sing at an event encouraging young people to register to vote, and what she has to say sounds pretty timely, except […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, April 13, 2018

For several years I posted a music video every Friday. The rules were that it had to be something I liked, and it had to be a non lip synced actual concert version. After a while I stopped, because, quite frankly, it was getting harder and harder to find good stuff that I hadn’t put […]

Friday Night Music Returns!

Friday, September 8, 2017

This used to be a regular feature, but it got harder and harder to find music that I 1) was familiar with and liked, and 2) was a live performance and not just music with an album cover as the video. Anyway, I doubt that I’ll be doing this every week, but today, while I […]

Trump’s Foreign Policy

Friday, April 14, 2017

I’m a big Randy Newman fan, but inasmuch as Trump tends to go with the last thing he’s heard, it might not be a good idea for him to listen to this one. On the other hand, given the thumbs up so many of pundits (looking at you, Fareed) gave him for bombing Syria, maybe […]

Friday Night Music Briefly returns

Friday, October 14, 2016

After all, he won the Nobel Prize. I don’t know if he deserved it, but he didn’t not deserve it, if you know what I mean. It’s not all that easy to find acceptable videos of Dylan doing his own music, especially from the early days. I had to reject what I could find of […]
