This has been stuck in my head for about a week straight now.
I don’t care. I never get tired of Jackie Wilson.
Two tonight:
And this one-hit wonder’s monster hit in the homeland.
I used to hear this on fuzzy radios, and only when re-encountering it on YouTube did I learn the lyric “Hey little Donna, mmmm still wanna/You said to call you up when I was feeling drunk” ended with “You said to call you up when I was in Tronna.” Same diff, right? Lovely, lovely lyrics. Should’ve had more than one hit.
RIP Larry Coryell.
Yeah. <sigh> If I were a theist of some sort, I’d say he’s gone to join his old partner Alphonse in the great jam session in the sky, maybe with Miles and Joe Zawinul sitting in. I had this album; I’ve listened to Coryell since the early '70s, saw him live with the Eleventh House. It’s the depressing thing about getting old: you get to see all the mighty fall. I was recalling listening to the Tony Williams Lifetime around the same time, then realised that John McLaughlin is the only surviving member of the original lineup: Tony, Jack Bruce, Larry Young - all gone.
This is the song (hah!) I’ve been singing in my head all morning, so I might as well share it here:
Joan Baez covers Sibelius. What’s not to love?
Can’t wait to hear her version of the violin concerto.
This is more of an earworm. I have been working on some German WW2 electrical equipment this week, And this stupid song kept getting stuck in my head. The song was from a cartoon that won a 1943 Academy Award. It is certainly “old school”.
Because I’m tired of the view.
If I ever get married, I want them to play this at my wedding. Organ or not.
Because I’m bawdy, nostalgic and slightly drunk at the moment:
Ha, we did play this at our wedding!
Because, well, because it’s Monday morning…
Just because, well because James Brown. Damn!
Because, well because Carlos, drums and hair.
Jingo close and Soul Sacrifice encore are delicious.
