April 22 - Surprised it took this long

There are lots of iconic songs and bands in this world. Last night’s tribute to Prince is a prime example. So many good songs from that uber-talented artist over his storied career. Sad he’a not around anymore.

Another iconic band came out of Sweden in the 70s

Agnetha Fältskog, Björn Ulvaeus, Benny Andersson, and Anni-Frid Lyngstad

Yes. ABBA

And this is one of their best known songs

“Take A Chance On Me”

April 21 - another radio mix

Startng around 5 AM I was in and out of consciousness and had a few songs bopping around

Started with thus current tune

Novocaine by The Unlikely Candidates


Followed by this classic from Herb Alpert, who Lisa and I saw last year. Great show

“A Taste Of Honey”



This stuck around for a while to be replaced with the final song (which I don’t love btw)

“Live In The Moment” by Portugal the Man

April 20 - I beg your pardon

Wow. Where has the time gone?. April 20 already. How fricking long have we been sheltering in place now? This is definitely the longest it’s  been since I’ve been on an airplane in the past 12 years and isn't letting up for at least another two weeks. Weird.

Had a multitude of songs pop in and out today, But this tune from my early youth won the spot of sticking in my head.

“(I Never Promised You A) Rose Garden” by Lynn Anderson

April 18 - Michael was a cute kid

Welcome to the weekend. The days continue to blur as we adjust to what seems to be the new normal

The first noticeable song playing this morning was an instrumental or sorts. The theme song to the Dick Van Dyke show. (People - including me - think my Dad resembles DVD).  Did you know there were three versions of Rob Petrie’s entrance into the house? See below. Might need to watch it more than once to see the differences clearly, but in the first one he tumbles over the ottoman, in the second he misses it completely and in the third he misses but still stumbles



But I digress. Shortly into my waking, Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael showed up with this classic. Lisa and I were on a cruise once that Tito was on. never actually saw him other than on stage, never mind met him, but.......

“I Want You Back” by the Jackson 5

April 17 - late comer

Totally missed yesterday. Not sure why.

I woke up today around 6. No discernible known music in my head. Maybe a brain induced harmony of some sort, but nothing recognizable until Ed and the boys showed up

“I Alone” by Live

Here is the official video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=FNrQOUtXYOo (hit the link. Youtube embedded wouldn't pull the video for some reason)
