What Is Your Song of the Day?

[Doctor Jack]

For some reason, I've wanted to discuss music with you fine folks for a long time. Lets do it. Share with us your song of the day.

I'll go with My Sweet Lord by George Harrison. Why? Because its a damn fine song

1. If You're Ready

[WinkyDink]

3. I just saw Mavis! And she ROCKED! (Opened for a mediocre Bob Dylan.)

[TexasBushwhacker]

7. He wanted to marry her

Asked her father for her hand and everything.

[WinkyDink]

38. Get the heck out!

[TexasBushwhacker]

40. I shit you not!

Back in the early 60s. Here's an interview with Mavis.

https://www.bostonglobe.com/arts/music/2016/06/28/mavis-staples-reflects-luck-love-and-marriage-proposal-from-bob-dylan/zvXHRTerjIl6tlpdXpopaO/story.html

"We were doing a TV show in New York for ABC, and we were all standing outside, and his manager said to him, “I want you to meet the Staple Singers.” And Bob said, “I know them; I’ve been listening to them since I was 12 years old.”

We talked; he talked a lot to my brother. After that day, he told my father he wanted to marry me."

[hibbing]

28. I saw her open for him too, in June

I thought Bob was actually really good at the one I went. I wasn't real happy with the standards he is singing, but he sang a lot of songs off Tempest, which I think has some good songs. Early Roman Kings was rocking, Pay in Blood, he did a few classics and his voice was great the night I saw him on a hot summer night outside in a beautiful setting. Like I said, not a fan of the standards, but the man does what he wants to do. This one was 10 times better than the last one I saw when I told myself as much as I love the guy, I'm not going to go see him again. That is the story of his shows for a long time, hit or miss. He's 75 and still touring all over the damn world, crazy.

But Mavis was fun and had a great set!


Peace

2. i love music threads

my song of the day "Honey and Smoke" by Neko Case, k.d. lang, and Laura Veirs. why? cause those voices....

[pinboy3niner]

4. That makes me think of this one...

It was on the jukebox at a diner I occasionally hung out at in Arlington, Virginia.

[astral]

5. Anna Aaron

I am banning my self from Youtube for the next 7 days bc I just burned up most of my data. So no links : (
In fact I havent gone there to see her yet, but found her as a featured singer to a band called Eric Truffaz Quartet.

check out, for instance
Sea Monsters
King of the Dogs
Where Are You David

I just find her amazing.
Will learn more.

[Doctor Jack]

6. Something much newer for me today

Believe by Mumford and Sons. I don't really care for the rest of that album, since I liked their old folk rock style but this song is really good.

[pinboy3niner]

8. Today it's Glenn Yarbrough, R.I.P.

Here's one of his I haven't seen posted yet...

Like Denny Doherty of The Mamas and the Papas, Yarbrough had a honey voice that was lost too soon.

[Doctor Jack]

9. Seems like most of us have an old fashioned taste in music

Not that its wrong. Just an observation.

[TexasBushwhacker]

10. Learn to Fly

This video just makes me happy.

And while we're at it, here's Everlong.

[Doctor Jack]

11. Learn to Fly is part of my daily rotation right now

That, along with the entire In Your Honor album.

[pinboy3niner]

13. You know you're old when you don't even have a "daily rotation," lol

I don't count the CD changer in my car, which is usually loaded with oldies compilations.

[Doctor Jack]

14. I got a new car recently and it only has CD and no AUX port

I hate it so much

Pulling out actual discs and changing them every 40 minutes or so. Such a hassle. I feel like its 2007 again.

[pinboy3niner]

15. My 16-year-old Escort has a 6-disc changer

That's so much music that they put the changer in the trunk, lol!

[discntnt_irny_srcsm]

24. Excuse the intrusion but try one of these:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1ZZ3F31224

Bluetooth car FM transmitter Car Music Player Fm Transmitter with Dual USB Charging, card reading + AUX input



I have one in my car and it works well.

[whistler162]

12. Well since I was listening to CNN off and on all day

with the Trumpites yammering.... The Four Aces "Cuckoo Bird In The Pickle Tree".

[Ahpook]

16. At the moment :)

[Astraea]

17. Sara, by

Fleetwood Mac

[twogunsid]

18. Drive-By Truckers - What It Means

[hermetic]

19. Went to a funeral yesterday

When they brought the casket into the church they played this song. I thought it was wonderful. The guy loved old rock songs. RIP, Darrell.

[Lars39]

20. RJD2s Ghostwriter

Seemed to grab my obsessive music gene for a while.

[Doctor Jack]

21. When I first read that, I thought you were posting the original ghostbusters theme song

Well, if that the kind of stuff you're in to...

[Lars39]

22. Heh, hadn't heard that in a while.

I'm all over the place music-wise.

[Brother Buzz]

23. Henry Thomas - Bulldoze Blues (1928)

Just 'cause I love the quills. Nobody could play them like Thomas, not even Canned Heat.

[Doctor Jack]

25. Let's go with Queen today

Save Me

I'm absolutely exhausted after this last week, which for me, means I am a bit introspective and dramatic, so this fits perfectly.

[UTUSN]

26. You asked for it (hating to be so shallow: ) Akells, "Private School" - forgive, they're Canadian!1

[some guy]

27. I don't know how one

determines their song of the day?

Since I am listening to the JB box set Beckology, I guess I will go with this Yardbirds version of Train Kept a Rollin'

33. R.E.M. - Crush with Eyeliner

On repeat today. Clever video, with cameos of the band. From 1994.

[dembotoz]

34. still want one of those hats

[Doctor Jack]

35. Resolve Foo Fighters

You people have very different musical taste than I do. That is what I've learned

[axlpose]

[tinymontgomery]

37. Moody Blues Question

[True Dough]

39. I've had this ear worm for the past few days now

Not trying to extract it either. Happy to hear it over and over again.

[betsuni]

42. Too Much Information

I saw a story about Wikileaks called "Too Much Information" and then of course I had to go find The Police.

[LWolf]

43. That is certainly a damned fine song.

My song of the day? How do I pick? I listened to a bunch. I'll pick two; the two I wanted to hear more than once today.

[LisaM]

46. Ahhh..."Brothers in Arms", what a song.

I never really watched 'Miami Vice' but my sister did and when I played the song for her, her ears pricked up. After that I checked out some of the music played near the end of MV.

[LWolf]

49. It's a great song.

Of course, I'm a Mark Knopfler fan so I'd think so.

[lpbk2713]

44. I played this last night.

Don't know what made me think of it.

[LisaM]

47. I have many friends who love Harry Chapin but...

to me, his lyrics sound so contrived. "Where you going to, my Lady Blue?" That would make me jump out of the cab!

[Doctor Jack]

45. Warning by Incubus

I forgot about this band for the longest time but I was digging through my old CDs today and found a few albums today. Might need to go back into my regular rotation.

[Bryan]

48. The Stone Roses, "Shoot You Down"

[megahertz]

50. I'm On Fire - Dwight Twilley Band

From 1975.

[pfitz59]

[pfitz59]

52. This one is for all the Trump supporters

[megahertz]

[Doctor Jack]

55. In the Clear by the Foo Fighters

I like this synthpunk band from Germany.
