Early Morning Rain (Live) – Elvis THE KING!!! When Elvis died in 1978, I was 8 and helping my dad shingle the house (I handed shingles from the second story bedroom window – I was yelled at often, especially after I rubbed my eyes and got turpentine in them – I was 8). My dad…
Kiss an Angel Good Morning – Charlie Parker I’ve recently spent a bunch of time on the west coast. In down times, hanging with my brother-in-law, Danny Orear, I asked him what is a “goto” tune when you need strength. I told him to take some time. He didn’t need much, he put this tune…
Helplessly Hoping – Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Just really like this version, I think it’s a nice jam. And who hasn’t felt themselves helplessly hoping now and again?
Let Us Down Easy – Ryan Adams and The Cardinals Really just another tune I find myself really getting into. Mid-tempo…
I Love This Bar – Toby Keith This is for Dad. He left us way to soon (September 5th). I can’t tell you how many bars I’ve been in with dad, since we were little to right up to weeks before he passed. Anyway, over the past few years, we’d be at a bar, typically,…
The Wanderer – Dion Well here’s another for Dad. I had his car for a few months and in it was a cd of “Oldies”. This song was on it. Always liked it because there was a soccer team at the club I played at called “The Wanderers”. They were so cool with their 80’s…
Ride Like the Wind – Christopher Cross Here’s an entry for my brother Micheal. He’s fighting out in Cali and we know he’s strong and will recover. This is a tune that would get him good and worked up as a little kid and still does. I know he’ll be listening to this setlist and…
I Never Asked to be Your Mountain – Beth Orton The title says it all, but… A good little jam. Beth Orton has a real nice Instagram feed. Check it out if you’re on it…
Size of the Moon – Pinehurst This duo is a young crew from New Jersey. They’ve got energy and youth.
Date with Ikea – Pavement That’s right, these guys again. Love the line “…but I know I need to stay…”
Mayonaise – Smashing Pumpkins Anyway, to all those friends who are always there in some way. Doing crazy things friends do — Thanks for it. Here’s a little something from the 90s vault…
Iris – Deconstruction Who? well, more from that 90’s vault. There may only be a handful of people who know of and like these guys. A spinoff from Jane’s Addiction. I think we had listened to them the day the campsite was destroyed at Rooney Fest. At least that’s how I recall that afternoon. A…
Lucky Man – The Verve more 90s…but still feels fresh…
You Got the Silver – The Rolling Stones Yeah ya do…
