April 30 - Windshield wipers slap in time

Well, here we are at the end of the month. I missed one day, not sure why, and had only one day with no real discernible music, so a relatively successful run.

Today’s song has been solo all morning. Nothing diluting it and still in my head as I type.  I have to admit, I was not a fan of this singer in my youth when this song was popular. I really didn't get her vibe, but man, this chick can belt out. A similar sad tale to Amy Winehouse. A great voice lost too early.

“Me and Bobby McGee” by Janis Joplin

April 29 - I never meant to cause you any trouble

Woke up a bit earlier this morning and things were more subdued. Got a few meetings today and that was on my mind, but there it was in the background..... oooooooh ooh ooh ooh... ooooh ooh ooh ohh


“Purple Rain” by Prince

April 28 - battle of the tunes

Today started off strong with the eventual winner, but at one point, there were four very different songs vying for the top position. Fat Lip from Sum 41 again, then Rosanna by Toto, and Once In a Lifetime by the Talking Heads

The winner for today?

“Used To Like” by Neon Trees

April 27 - Hold me closer Tony Danza

Another Monday, another week of shelter in place. This is getting old.

Actually had two songs vying to become the final song of the morning to day and they couldnt have been much different

First is an alternative pop punk kind of screw you tune by a band who I believe is a one hit wonder (at least to me)

“Fat Lip” by Sum 41

The other is one of those songs everybody knows with the running joke that the singer is saying Tony Danza, which of course he is not. Its actually right there in the title

“Tiny Dancer” by Elton John

April 26 - you met another...

Growing up in the 70s, there were a few traditions. One of them was watching the bumbling country folk variety show named after the sound of a donkey braying.

Yea I watched Hee Haw. So did you. Admit it.

Most shows, this short tune showed up, and became a favorite. The posting says this was the first version shown

“Pfft, You Were Gone” by Archie Campbell

April 25 - More bell bottoms

Not surprising, since I grew up in the 70s and 80s, but another hit from the 70s earwormed its way in this morning. 

Shining Star by 🌍 💨 and 🔥 

April 24 - It means no worries..

Here’s one I wouldn't expect.. I remember a few songs floating in and out,  but can’t remember what they were specifically. Then Timon and Pumbaa show up. Who doesn’t love those two guys

It’s a trouble free philosophy..........
