Todd Rundgren - A Dream Goes On Forever

Heard this on my walk this morning. It had me thinking about how it's ok to hold on to your dreams. I don't think I can ever let mine go.

I don't think I want to.

A million old soldiers will fade away

But a dream goes on forever

Im left standing here, Ive got nothing to say

All is silent within my dream

A thousand true loves will live and die

But a dream lives on forever

The days and the years will go streaking by

But the time has stopped in my dream

We all have our everyday hopes and fears

And youll find no exception in me

But that doesnt get me through a sea of tears

Over lifes biggest tragedy

Youre so long ago and so far away

But my dream lives on forever

I guess I believe that Ill see you one day

For without it there is no dream

Youre so far away and so long ago

But my dream goes on forever

And how much I loved you youll never know

til you join me within my dream

busy busy leelee

sorry listeners, I've been hectic lately. Many songs rattling around in my head and no time to post.

thanks for checking on me..I'll get something on here soon..

HUGS!!

Bill Haley and The Comets - Shake, Rattle and Roll

It's Friday and seems to me, tonight would be a great night for a sock-hop. Now of course we know that I am too young to have actually attended a 1950's sock-hop..but I think it would have been a blast.

Put on your poodle skirt or your madras shirt and have a go at this oldie but goodie!

David Bowie - Heroes - From The Concert For New York

The Band - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down

In honor of my recent trip through Dixie...this is from The Last Waltz..easily one of the best concert films ever made..I mean Scorsese..c'mon...

Warren Zevon - Werewolves Of London

Ahhhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

And a request for Phos, another favorite..turn it up loud:

Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe, from Monterey Pop Festival 1967

I recently ordered the CD of the Monerey Pop Festival from the summer of 1967..it's an excellent show. How great is Jimi...really...I only wish I could have seen him myself, in person. At least we have this FANTASTIC video..ROCK ON!

David Bowie - Starman

Argent - God Gave Rock And Roll To You

Saw the Zombie's last night and didn't realize that Argent morphed out of them. I love to learn new stuff about Rock & Roll.

It's Summertime, Summertime, sum..sum.. Summertime...Summertiiiiiiiiiiiime

I thought I'd play some of my favorite summer songs..I have a hunch they are your favs too.

Sly and the Family Stone - Hot Fun In The Summertime

Mungo Jerry - In The Summertime

The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer In The City







The Beach Boys - All Summer Long






Have fun and don't forget your sunscreen!

ELP - Emerson, Lake & Palmer

I got into progressive electronic rock music early in the 70's, I always dug the big sounds that were orchestrated. Headphone music for sure. I'm still a big fan.

I had the wonderful opportunity to see ELP in concert down at Princeton college in like 1979. I went with a really tall, cute guy whose name now escapes me. I remember though, he was an airplane mechanic at Teterborough Airport in NJ and he had a lava lamp in his apartment in Lodi..gee, you would think I'd remember his name....but alas, I don't. Funny how I remember the lava lamp though..lol what can I say??

Friday Sing-a-long - Don McLean - American Pie

Do you NEED the lyrics...oh I think not.

Lee Michaels - Do You Know What I Mean

I heard THIS one on the way home from work....try to tell me you don't love it...cause I won't believe you.

YUM!!

Otis Redding & Carla Thomas - Knock On Wood

I Love soul music, I especially love it from the late 60's -early 70's. This is a great rendition of a great song recorded in 1967.. I just can't NOT dance when I hear this...c'mon,get up, get out of that chair..and dance

Enjoy!!

Friday Sing-a-long - Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Queen - Bohemian Rhapsody

Is this the real life-

Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see-
Im just a poor boy,i need no sympathy-
Because Im easy come,easy go,
A little high,little low,
Anyway the wind blows,doesnt really matter to me,
To me

Mama,just killed a man,
Put a gun against his head,
Pulled my trigger,now hes dead,
Mama,life had just begun,
But now Ive gone and thrown it all away-
Mama ooo,
Didnt mean to make you cry-
If Im not back again this time tomorrow-
Carry on,carry on,as if nothing really matters-

Too late,my time has come,
Sends shivers down my spine-
Bodys aching all the time,
Goodbye everybody-Ive got to go-
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth-
Mama ooo- (any way the wind blows)
I dont want to die,
I sometimes wish Id never been born at all-

I see a little silhouetto of a man,
Scaramouche,scaramouche will you do the fandango-
Thunderbolt and lightning-very very frightening me-
Galileo,galileo,
Galileo galileo
Galileo figaro-magnifico-
But Im just a poor boy and nobody loves me-
Hes just a poor boy from a poor family-
Spare him his life from this monstrosity-
Easy come easy go-,will you let me go-
Bismillah! no-,we will not let you go-let him go-
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let him go
Bismillah! we will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go-let me go
Will not let you go let me go
No,no,no,no,no,no,no-
Mama mia,mama mia,mama mia let me go-
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me,for me,for me-

So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye-
So you think you can love me and leave me to die-
Oh baby-cant do this to me baby-
Just gotta get out-just gotta get right outta here-

Nothing really matters,
Anyone can see,
Nothing really matters-,nothing really matters to me,

Any way the wind blows....
