I want to see if I can figure out how to do this. :)

Edit: okay that was easy :D

I don't know what you've done.:confused:

I remember Mary back in the Swinging Sixties - those were the days. :blush:
The days when heavy metal worked on farms or in quarries. When guitars were made of wood but the men were made of steel.

Nurse - Is it bedtime yet?

That one was before my time, but always loved that song, I used to listen to a lot of oldies like that one. I do like the old time rock n roll, (as Bob Seger said) and a lot of other stuff also. :)

I know I first saw this one first posted here somewhere, I had never heard it before.

All the ones you posted are great. But, Smooth is a great one. Love Santana's guitar and such a sexy vid.

As a child I didn't know that music was divided into genres. My father's family all played the fiddle and some of them also another instrument. As youngsters we would write down the words of songs from the wireless in cheap notebooks and sing them around the house. There were all sorts from traditional folk music to the latest popular music and classical, it made no difference to us, it was all music. At school in the fifties we had an excellent music teacher who got us to bring in our pop records and he dissected them for us. We were listening to the beat and the words but he would, for example, pick up a violin and play what the violins were playing in the background. Remember, in those days singers often had a full orchestra behind the vocals.
That attitude that I learned at a young age has served me well through the years. For example, I can watch a football match with any two teams unincumbered by partisan leanings, I have followed Formula One for many years with pleasure in every race because I don't support a specific driver or team.

After reading back that which I have just written I think I find myself becoming a fan of me!:blush:

I remember when I was playing with my GI Joe's as a kid, my older brother's listening to the Beatle's, The Monkey's, and the Beach Boys. I remember one of the first albums I liked was REO Speedwagon's Riding the storm out, I did not like their later albums.

Here is another old tune I like, there is a live version but the sound is better on this one.

Gordy Lightfoot! I remember him well, he's older than me, not only still alive but still working!
I've just spent a little time in Spotify prodding my memories of his work, brought back some memories.
If you like that style, do you know of Stan Rogers? If not, look up "Between the Breaks", there are some of his maritime based songs on it worth listening to and in a similar vane to Gordy's "Edmund Fitzgerald"

Thanks, Kas, you cheered me up immensely. :toast:

Yeah I do like that one, back when we had a oldies station here, many years ago I saw him live on new years eve. I think it was at the Adam's mark hotel here in Indy, I even got to talk to them after the show. I know I had several beers in me at the time, so the memory is a bit vague. I will look up Stan Rodgers, it does not ring a bell though. I am kind of just going down memory lane here myself, I have not really been listening to much music lately. I think I will just try to keep this up I guess. :|

Edit: I realized today that this was wrong, the guy I saw was Gary Puckett.

"Young Girl" makes me slightly suspicious of my younger self. I was in Hong Kong when that was a big hit and it always reminds me of a beautiful 16 year old girl in a white swimsuit - that's enough!

Young girl, Woman Woman, and This Girl Is A Woman Now, are my favorite's of his. :)
