What are you listening to right now?

We were scanning the TV and saw a Time-Life infomercial for some CDs. It was being hosted by two members of America.

Kathy hadn't heard them in years and asks if we have anything by them ... What?? Which album ya wanna hear?

I put on my favorite tune (from my Miami days) off their second album:

Disco ... Hmmm. Still haven't found that live vid of Sister Sledge on the net that someone sent me a couple years ago. But, I did find this tribute to the founders of Chic (Niles Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, both RIP.)

What a gig that would've been to be privileged to be at. Even if standing in back and joining the chorus!


Update: Oops. The live vid of Sister Sledge that I mentioned earlier was pulled from most sites and one of our friends here got his wrists slapped for copyright issues. Weren't me.

And, I hope the Web Police aren't listening, because I have a copy that was sent to friends. Will they take my iPod away in the Gulag? }:( :( :crazy:


And yes, I'm listening to a bunch of Phil Ochs right now.
 
Now that I think about it. Maybe this could be an official/unofficial SBHOnline theme song...

Lyrics:


CHORUS:)
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like birds of a feather
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving love in a family dose

(CHORUS x2)

Living life is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of the world's delights
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in you and the things you do
You won't go wrong
This is our family Jewel

(REPEAT CHORUS TO FADE

I tweaked the words a little to make more relevant

We are dysfunctional cyber family
I got all my posters with me
We are dysfunctional cyber family
Get up ev'rybody and post

Ev'ryone can see we're together
As we walk on by
(FLY!) and we fly just like Winair and SBC
I won't tell no lie
(ALL!) all of the people around us they say
Can they be that close
Just let me state for the record
We're giving jabs and baiting in a family dose

(CHORUS x2)

Posting everyday is fun and we've just begun
To get our share of St Barts delights
(HIGH!) high hopes we have for the future
And our goal's in sight
(WE!) no we don't get depressed
Here's what we call our golden rule
Have faith in low season and the things you do
You won't go wrong
So dont bust our family Jewels
 
Now that I'm done laughing and spitting Coke on the keyboard, how do I clean up this soggy keyboard?


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

When not on St. Barts, multitasking is required. Anything to get the job done and make dreams come true (like being on SBH.)

Rosemary,

I'd love to round up some players and do a vid of MikeR's version. Getting the right folks would cost me pennies I'm saving for the next SBH venture. Someday...
 
We just had a neighborhood sing-a-long around a bonfire. Show tunes, and everything from "I've Been Working on the Railroad" to an earlier offering from today, "Taking Care of Business" by the men of BTO. Our oldest guest requested "Look to the Rainbow" and introduced all of us, for the first time, to Hans, his partner of sixty years. We grilled lamb over the fire and roasted potatoes in the embers. We came inside for dinner in front of the fireplace. Brownies with chocolate sauce for dessert. A chorus of "American Pie," "Day by Day" and "A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square" and everyone said sweet dreams and walked home. It was fun.

and people say winter isn't fun!?

what do they know?
 
One year we were waay up north. Snow deep. We started a huge bonfire. Too big too cook on. Almost "Vaval size." Brought out hot dogs, buns, etc.

Backed one of the vehicles close up to the fire. Opened up doors and rear hatch and cranked up the CD and tape player. Started playing everything we had in our respective collections. Didn't even notice the cold or time. Hot dogs and other goodies that were brought out filled the tummy. Well, the libations were part of the equation.

The sound was reverberating throughout the miles of woods. We only had to walk back about 100 feet to the farmhouse. Biggest complaint the next morning (afternoon) was that we'd have to cut up and split more wood to do it again.

We repeated the same next summer in sweltering heat and humidity. No difference. Weather does not factor in for us. Almost too much fun :)
