Music: Your flavor of the month?

Now I look at the years gone by,
And wonder at the powers that be.
I don't know why fortune smiles on some
And lets the rest go free
Maybe the time has drawn the faces I recall
But things in this life change very slowly,
If they ever change at all

 

I like everything by the Eagles.

 

For the BLM movement....posted this in another thread but it's for music lovers!

I'm lovin the Zoom recordings now with the lockdowns and lack of live clubs...

 

These ladies do such a lovely meshup of arabic music, hip/hop and electronic music.

 

I work from home and generally enjoy unobtrusive music playing in the background while I work. This song is playing right now. Man, luvs me some GWJ's (R.I.P.) music. Always have He was an early pioneer, and, perhaps, even the proverbial godfather of the smooth jazz genre.

Winelight was one of those early renderings. One (as well as Mister Magic, also posted here) that actually drew me to jazz, itself. The sound quality isn't so good here, but I wanted to post something live of him

 

I always appreciated Wayman Tisdale (R.I.P.) as an NBA basketball player. He was also a polished jazz (lead) bass guitar player.

 

Every time I hear this version of Somewhere....it brings glistening to my eyes. Eva died way too young.

 

Oh shit!...that takes me back. I was a disco dj in the late 70s...had to play the Lipps Inc. version of that song 2-3 times a night....I shit you not.

Not sure what was worse, the music during that horrible period, or the clothes and shoes we wore.....ughhh.

 

Were your clothes worse than my velour leisure suit which I actually paid good money for?

 

Oh hell yeah...polyester double knit shirts and suits were the thing back then...can't count the time's a falling red hot pot seed ruined a shirt of mine.

...which reminds me, I had one of those "day-glo" posters of a huge rat with glazed eyes smoking a joint with a caption that said, "Kenya gimme a Tokyo hash?"




...ahhh....good times.

 

Cool story.



Love the Spoon Lady.

 

I have never been a big fan of this song until I heard Ani DiFranco's live version. She puts the amazing in Amazing Grace.
