What are you listening to right now?

[Rosemary]

We just dragged out my old No Nukes concert album. Nicolette Larsen - "It's Gonna Take A Lot of Love..."

 

[Voosh]

On a Nick Lowe kick here tonight. Too many great tunes to mention. Check him out.

I believe he has a new album coming out.

Oh what the heck... Last night a "Green Giant" commercial comes on. My wife asks "Wasn't there a rock tune about him?" Yep. It stuck in my mind and I'll bore you with it.

Warning: This vid has military and guns in it. I simply state that because I get dinged for bringing up those topics sometimes. And yes, Fred, I will vote for Obama in 2012.

Love the tune (anything by Shania rocks.) Love the folks in the vid. Some great buds that are some of the best. PJs, Coast Guard and firefighters are at the top of my list as heroes. IMHO.

From the comments about this clip: "I chose the song for its irony - Pararescuemen are said to have the hardest job in the military." And, they do it very well with no real recognition. "That others may live"

Soooo classic!


Also reminds me that traffic is a lot easier going "up north" this week.

 

[Voosh]

Since baseball was mentioned...

I get these moments. "Serge" was our guitar player when we were young punks on the bar and studio scene. This song always made us laugh. We played it often just to confuse the dancing bar crowds. RIP Serge.

Aqualung. I remember that fondly from the early 70's.

Stevie Ray Vaughn: "In Step" during the morning commute.


Always makes me sad. What a tragedy so soon after he turned his life around.

 

[Voosh]

Dennis,

I can listen to anything by Stevie Ray, anytime. Always will.


Over the years kids and grandkids have asked why we take the long back routes up north. We always say that its cooler. This tune, "Take A Back Road" by Rodney Atkins makes the point better than I ever could.

I actually know some of the roads in that vid. Scary coincidence? Nope. Just done a lot of cruising. Rodney Atkins is an interesting fellow. Read his bio.

Lots of Jeeps in that vid. My favorite was a GC Limited that we had with all the "wood cutting" trimmings and, of course, a beefed up engine. I always loved when the "Wrangler folks" always said "I didn't know a froo-froo Jeep could do that." Had a great sound system, too. Could do welllll over a hundred and got through mud and snow easily. Pulled a number of others out of crud. Very comfortable, too. Doesn't seem like they make 'em that way now. Sigh.


Always. At least for us. Put some gravel, sand and mud in your tires.

"Take the Long Way Home"...Supertramp. We saw Stevie Ray with Eric Clapton in 1988. Wonderful.

 

[Voosh]

That must've been one heck of a show.

 

[Rosemary]

It was. Hartford CT. I was eight and a half months pregnant.
The baby plays bass and saxophone. Funny.

 

[Voosh]

:up: :up: :up: :up: :up:

 

[Rosemary]

It was a BEAUTIFUL concert. Opening act Buckwheat Zydeco.

 

[Voosh]

Buckwheat is sooo cool.

BTW. (maybe a trick question because I know a lot of French and Finnish families "up north") What's "buckwheat" in francais? ...

 

[Voosh]

Not the coolest vid of SRV (RIP) or Clapton together. But, it was recorded here, live, in the Detroit area.

A couple months before SRV left us.

Big Band-Tommy Dorsey OPUS ONE!

Well, not now but last night, this guy narrating Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf for our little chamber orchestra IRIS. T-A-L-E-N-T
