Roy Orbison => LEGEND

http://www.youtube.com/watch If you love Roy Orbison or rock n’ roll, you just have to watch the above YouTube video about Roy Orbison from The Roy Orbison Preservation Society. Words fail.

“Born On the Bayou”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/creedence-clearwater-revisited/20th-century-masters-the-best-of-creedence-clearwater-revisited/born-on-the-bayou-live/TRkV7JjJ5z5wlzc Creedance Clearwater Revival! Great 60’s sound out of California (not Louisiana as some of us had once thought during the day). John Fogerty: The man created some fantastic music. Some of Creedance’s lyrics come to mind: “… so far away from me” – “I ain’t no senator’s son”. Creedance was an essential element inContinue reading ““Born On the Bayou””

http://www.pandora.com/artist/electric-light-orchestra/xanadu-soundtrack/all-over-the-world/TRtlnVmJtlZ6x24 All Over The World! “Everybody’s got the word.” Rockin’ melody with a great falsetto whiff (I can’t even whistle parts of this tune, much less sing it). Stupendously ingenious, syncopated rhythm and foot-stompin’ beat. Tell me ELO can’t BIG TIME lay it down! Jeff Lynne, baby! => => => ELO ROCKS !!! 🌈 {wokeContinue reading ““Everybody’s Got The Word””

“She’s My Baby”

Another “baby” song: “She’s My Baby” by The Traveling Wilburys. Make sure you watch the YouTube video version of this song (ref. below link). The below song link sometimes pulls up the video; sometimes it pulls up the non-video version (still picture). Wrestle around with YouTube (Google) until you get the full video version ofContinue reading ““She’s My Baby””

“Don’t Worry Baby”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/the-beach-boys/shut-down-vol-2-mono-and-stereo-remaster/dont-worry-baby-mono/TRVvf2v4cn92wzk The Beach Boys always caught a lot of grief – even back in the day. They were never avant-guarde enough. But ala Ricky Nelson, that kind of criticism is TOTALLY AND FOREVER UNDESERVED! Laugh if you want to, but The Beach Boys are one of my very favorite groups of all time. I loveContinue reading ““Don’t Worry Baby””

“Be My Baby”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/the-ronettes/be-my-baby-the-very-best-of-the-ronettes/be-my-baby/TRPtmVcPX92JhZP I love this song: “Be My Baby.” The Ronettes rocked!

“Then He Kissed Me”

http://www.pandora.com/artist/the-crystals/the-crystals/then-he-kissed-me/TRzldn5m4JvgJtw So many great songs. So little time… http://www.pandora.com/beach-boys/summer-days-summer-nights-2001-remaster/then-i-kissed-her/TRlZ5PmzxmXfXjq?shareImp=true&part=ug&corr=12487407

ELO – Yeah, Baby!!!

http://www.pandora.com/artist/electric-light-orchestra/a-new-world-record/telephone-line/TRbdj7mndqbl3XJ Love Jeff Lynne. In my opinion, one of the greatest rock and rollers of ALL TIME! ELO music is just so sweet… so extraordinarily delicious! Can’t seem to get away from the Traveling Wilbury musicians. I can listen to those guys all day. To me, those people were the absolute apex of early rockContinue reading “ELO – Yeah, Baby!!!”

Roy Orbison Forever!

Here’s three other great pieces featuring the Big ‘O’. Orbison’s early-on habit of sometimes integrating an orchestral background into his music added tremendous depth and power to his rock and roll => great musical direction. Early music… or his later music. It’s all good with Roy. In terms of late music, Roy Orbison with TheContinue reading “Roy Orbison Forever!”

My First Blog Post

Above picture credit: nasa/Hubble Focus hard on navigating the troubled seas of now. Don’t worry-wart the past. Don’t worry-wart the future. JCT I have chosen to write a blog rather than write a personal journal. I don’t know if this was a wise choice or not. I know this will seem peculiar, but (to me)Continue reading “My First Blog Post”
