Band On the Run – Paul McCartney & Wings Paul McCartney loved to create multi-dimensional songs – this is a good one – band on the run – we heard is so often in the back seat of the car. It now plays on hockey trips, crabbing setlists, and now the xmas download. I was…
Everything I Own – Bread Some 1970’s syrup – I would have loved to be in the band meeting where they came up with their name – Bread. So ’70s. Anyway – our friends Sheila and Susan got married this year – I had texted Sheila suggesting this tune on the playlist during cocktail hour. …
Half A Person – The Smiths In high school everyone liked these guys. I never listened to them and having never knew their sound – automatically hated them. Makes sense – right? Well I like to think I’ve grown up – just a little. They are a very talented band. I said it. In writing.
Borderline – Madonna This was heard continuously from Dana and Helene’s room from its release in 1984. Helene was a huge “material girl” – the outfits – huge hair – and the personality. She is my Irish twin – born in March of 1969 and me arriving in April of 1970. She has always been…
Driver 8 – R.E.M. So – My sister Dana bought this “tape” for me for Christmas in 1985. I was 15. She was 13, had babysitting money, and to this day, always generous. She is so much like Mom – they share alot – including the ability for death march shopping trips – and you…
Wasteland – Dead Man Winter Just discovered these guys this year – in the nick of time – because they were a find that helped get through so many moments…I like all their work and they are part of another group Trampled By Turtles. Check ’em all out if you haven’t. If you have –…
Swingin’ – Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Lost Tom Petty this fall. I had been listening to this tune after we lost mom. Couldn’t not think of her strength – not only battling cancer – but in everything she ever did. She’s given us a lifetime of examples. Life if so worth living and sharing…
I Like the Way You Walk – The Donkeys These guys are a recent discovery and I find myself loving there catalog. This was the first song I heard from them. It recalls a period of time during spring semester of 1991. I would position myself to see someone walking back from class. We’d just…
The Story – Dolly Parton This is Dolly Parton covering Brandi Carslile. I can’t say enough about it and the sentiment. It is certainly a tune Jana loves. I know I’d be lost without her…
Northern Skies – Nick Drake Well – what more can I say – Jana loves this tune – so do I. Hope you all enjoy it.
Pure – Ian Broudie this tune came out in 1989. It is the Lightening Seeds (aka Ian Broudie). Back then, I didn’t like it for many reasons – thought it sounded like he ripped off New Order among others – I had lots of reasons. Turns out he is a music producer and worked with…
So here it goes. This one was difficult. For many reasons. How best to talk about someone so influential and thoughtful. This setlist doesn’t come close to describing Jeff’s very deep musical insights. Like those setlists of the past years, it tries to say “I’m thinking of y’all”. And I am thinking of you all.…
Waitress in the Sky – The Replacements So irreverent. Bad Asses, poking fun and everything. Then there is an element that can I hear this tune at a Ramble with Tommy T singing accompanied by Mike and Jeff.
Get Together – Lowell Levinger Always like this tune, then heard this version. I like it so much more. Sounds like a ramble, complete with mando.
Into the Mystic (Live) – Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit Love this tune. Love Isbell and the 400 unit. What more is there, eh?
