"The Acid Queen" - The Who

I'm not crazy about the song. It's OK but nothing special, but I love these two lines: She's living in L. A. with my best old ex-friend Ray Guy, she said she knew well and sometimes hated Clever songwriting. Operator (That's Not the Way It Feels) - Jim Croce

3? why not more? How about 4? How about 25 or 6 to 4? I never get tired of Terry Kath's guitar work on this one. Not just in the solo but in the backing call/response parts behind the vocals too. Besides that, the entire band was in top form as well, 25 or 6 to 4 - Chicago

"New Day For You" - Basia

The Attack Of The Giant Ants - Blondie

Those were terrible Craig : translation: I loved them. * * * I broke up with my girlfriend of 5 years because I found out she was a communist... I should have known, there were red flags everywhere.

IMO Carlos takes Peter Green's fine song and elevates it to an even higher level. If this was the only guitar solo Carlos ever played it would still make him one of my favorites. We play this song (or used to before COVID grounded us) and in most songs I ad-lib the solo. I try to play this as close to Carlos' version as I can, but since he is a much better guitarist than I am, I play it on the wind synthesizer (I suspect I play sax and wind synth better than Carlos <wink/grin>). Black Magic Woman - Santana

I think he's OK. Some songs good, some boring. But here is one that I really like. It's a decently crafted song, Neil does a good job, and both the arrangement and backing musicians are brilliant IMO. Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show - Neil Diamond

My wife also plays guitar. If I want a new guitar she knows she'll get to play it too! She liked my Parker DF so much, I bought a similar one for her. Different pickup configuration, so we can trade guitars with each other. The only problem with that is there is nobody to help me control my GAS. I have to be responsible not to overspend myself. But then, since I got my Parker, I haven't had any GAS. I can look at other guitars, admire their beauty, but am perfectly happy with my custom shop Parker 522NN (NN for Notes Norton).

A Million Dreams - Pink

Behind The Rain - Gato Barbieri

Society's Child - Janis Ian

Smoke From A Distant Fire - Sanford Townsend Band I played this in a cover band many years ago. Not a bad pop song.

The girl in the middle of the tennis court is named Annette. groan.

A book just fell on my head... ... I only have my shelf to blame

You Can't Sit Down - Philip Upchurch (before words were invented)

Mornin' - Al Jarreau I know I've posted this one before, but I really, really like it. Written by Al Jarreau, David Foster and Jay Graydon, it's nicely crafted, well performed (vocals and instrumentals) and when Al reaches the climax at 2:37 it really lifts me up.

I had help. They put the steering wheel on the wrong side of the car ? What is more difficult is driving in much of the Caribbean, Bermuda, and The Bahamas where most of the cars have the steering wheel on the US side of the car, but they drive on the UK side of the road. I did 5 weeks in Australia in a Camper van in 2018. The white one behind the Rolls. It had a bed that could be converted into a dinner table and benches (it stayed a bed), a small fridge, stove, microwave, and sink. No toilet, but the facilities in Australia are convenient and very clean. Great vacation. I found the Australian people to be friendly, cheerful and much more civilized that my own countrymen and women. In the 5 weeks I was there, I didn't meet one sourpuss. Everyone I greeted was ready to talk. Example: I stepped out of the van in a grocery store parking lot, an Australian guy asked about it, and by almost an hour later there were a group of Australians around us having a delightful conversion about quite a variety of subjects. Fortunately we got there before the devastating fires. N N

Angel of the Morning - Merrilee Rush & The Turnabouts The original hit and IMO still the best version (even if the trombone is slightly out of tune)

You have a point. But then, it's difficult to make it worse than the original. ? I did find it interesting, although I won't be putting it on a playlist. Wibbles, you might like this cover better People Get Ready - Eva Cassidy

You can't be Welsh. I can read what you post. When driving on vacation in the UK, everything in England and Scotland was legible, but as soon as I got into Wales, the road signs had an extreme shortage of vowels.

"Dancing Queen" - Post Modern Juke Box A most unusual cover...
