Stay safe Wibbles. Batten down the hatches. Perhaps a little libation down the hatch too.

"Over The Rainbow" - Eva Cassidy My wife just turned me on to her. Amazing talent on both guitar and vocals. How could she have stayed hidden from me for so long?

We just learned "Fun Fun Fun" for a regular audience member. We play once a week on a deck at a marina on a lagoon across from a state park. The location brings out a lot of beach, tropical, and other "summer songs" from the snowbirds who are vacationing down here. And they are fun to play. The song is Fun Fun Fun but with the two of us, we don't have all the harmonies so I put some of the parts on the synthesizer and included it in my backing track (I make my own backing tracks for my duo) "Fun Fun Fun" - The Beach Boys

Nothing wrong with a repeat. "Peppermint Twist" - Joey Dee and the Starliters. (IMO no need for a video) Many years ago I played at The Peppermint Lounge in Miami, FL. It was a big deal at the time. I wasn't legal at the time, but the band leader was and I guess that's all that counted. They wouldn't serve me drinks though.

"The Warmth Of The Sun" - The Beach Boys A lot of their lyrics are corny by today's standards, but their harmony singing was top-notch by any standard.

Fresh Garbage - Spirit

Happy Birthday 2 U !!!! And I wish you 67 more. Notes

We are a perverted society when natural body functions are something to be ashamed of. Face it, s*** happens. Create a need, release a product to satisfy that need, and you corporate stocks shall rise. Insights and incites by Notes

"Up The Ladder To The Roof" - The Supremes (Without Diana Ross, sound-alike Jean Terrel did a nice job.) I did some gigging at Motown in the late 1960s so I have a warm spot of Motown in it's Detroit days.

Ain't That A Bitch - Johnny "Guitar" Watson 1970s funk at it's finest, and Mr. Watson could sing and play guitar well - and with a sense of humor.

"Kind Of Blue" (full album) - Miles Davis

Tommy Gun - The Clash

I've got tickets to see this symphony performed, I think it's Rachmaninoff's best symphony and not performed often enough. I have it on CD but I'm checking out other conductor's interpretations of it. Symphony #1 - Sergei Rachmaninoff

"Shotgun" - Jr. Walker and the All-Stars
