I posted my first song of the day in February. I haven't kept to a
daily schedule but have managed to post 196 different songs of the day.
I try to keep it diverse but have posted multiple songs by the
following artists:
leading the way with 3 songs is Marshall
Crenshaw, although one of the entries was a double selection and the
third was included as part of the "Julie" set that I ran during the
summer.
The following artists had 2 selections each:
Al Green
Billy Bragg and Wilco
Billy Price
Cheap Trick
Fountains of Wayne
Graham Parker
the Graverobbers
Johnny Cash
the New Pornographers
Paul Kelly
Paul Thorn
the Pretenders
Randy Travis (double selection)
the Rhodes Tavern Troubadors
the Smithereens
Van Morrison
I reviewed the list of songs today and you know what? I liked every one of them. Hope that you all enjoyed some of them also.
Be
sure to buy cd's or legal downloads of the music you like and also
support live music by attending a show sometime, even at the local
coffee house.
Eldorado Cafe by Billy Price and the Keystone Rhythm Band
In honor of my new year's eve plans to see the Billy Price Band at the Ram's Head Tavern tonight. Also, its my autistic son's current favorite song.
You Shook Me All Night Long by AC DC
This is simply one of the greatest songs EVER!!
Here's a set of modern Christmas songs:
Gotta Get Up by Trout Fishing In America
Fairy Tale of New Your by the Pogues and Kirsty McCall
Christmas in St. Paul by Last Train Home
Merry Christmas!
2000 Miles by the Pretenders
I don't know if this is actually a "Christmas" song, but it does mention Christmas and is a nice song, so it is today's selection.
Reasons I Cheat by Randy Travis
On the Other Hand by Randy Travis
Warning, if you absolutely can't stand country music, stay away. I've been listening to my Christmas music which includes a Randy Travis album. So I've selected my 2 favorite Randy Travis songs, both great and both "cheatin' songs". I love the point/counterpoint of the songs on the classic theme of infidelity. Plus, Randy's got a nice voice even if you don't like "that kind" of music.
Dan Folgelberg died this weekend at the age of 56. I remember liking his album "Souvenirs" a lot when I was in high school. This was my favorite song from the album. It had a skip in the record and even now when I hear it, I hear that skip in my mind.
Part of the Plan by Dan Folgelberg
Don't You Just Know It by Huey "Piano" Smith and the Clowns
Another oldie. This one is from 1958 and is good!
Heebie Jeebies by Little Richard
Enough '70s crap. Something even older. The concert that I would have love to attended would be Little Richard in some Southern roadhouse circa 1954. Those guys must have rocked!
We Gotta Get You a Woman by Todd Rundgren. More 70s music. Everyone likes this song, even with the infamous sexist remark in it.
