If I had a box just for wishes and dreams that had never come true -
Sitting on this barstool talking like a damn fool. Got the twelve o'clock news blues and I've given up hope on the afternoon soaps and a bottle of cold brew.

It was a very good year for city girls who lived up the stair with all that perfumed hair and it came undone. It's the time of the season where love runs high. In this time give it to me easy.

Time has come today; young hearts can go their way. Can't put it off another day. I don't care what others say. Go ahead baby go ahead, go ahead and light up the town. Baby, do anything your little heart desires. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.

It's astounding, time is fleeting; madness takes its toll. Sometimes you picture me. I'm walking too far ahead - you're calling to me I can't hear. Confusion never stops, closing walls and ticking clocks. Come back and take you home, I could not stop - that you now know.

No time for a gentle rain.  No time for my watch and chain. Seasons come and seasons go but our love will never die. Let me hold you darlin' so you won't cry. 

Let me know all the songs and srtists if you have time to figure it out...

Rikki Don't Lose that Number(1974) by Steely Dan

We hear you're leaving, that's OK I thought our little wild time had just begun I guess you kind of scared yourself, you turn and run

Songs Everybody Should Know

“Rikki Don’t Lose That Number” by Steely Dan (1974)

Welcome to the funky bohemia that is Steely Dan. Building a complex musical web around lyrics that run the gamut about anything from love to bandits, to greed, lust, and glory and back again.  The jazz-infused mosaic of life is almost parody-like. A thinking man’s funk, Steely Dan delivers a diverse, rich sound while taking you to some of the weirdest places you could ever go – and yet they seem familiar in some strange way…

Way out on Muscle Shoals Beach they are listening to a little Southern Rock

Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers

Stevie Nicks - Edge of Seventeen

Just like the white winged dove, sings a song sounds like she’s singing Oooh...Baby...Ooh...Baby...Oooh

Pick of the Week

“The Edge of Seventeen” by Stevie Nicks (1981)

Her voice is one of the most instantly recognizable female voices in pop music. With her platform boots, her top hat, and shawls, she developed a ‘mystic’ persona. She could have easily been the inspiration for ‘the Witches of Eastwich’. She sang lead on “Dreams” from the phenomenal Fleetwood Mac ‘Rumors’ album;
the only single to go to number one on that album. Other classic songs ‘Mac’ with the Nick’s stamp on them are “Landslide”, and “Silver Springs”.

Jackson Browne--Doctor My Eyes

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years and the slow parade of fears without crying. Now I want to understand.

70’s Song of the week

“Doctor My Eyes” by Jackson Browne (1970)

The first time I really paid attention to the Jackson Browne “Running on Empty” album I was at a friend’s place; actually his older sister’s.  We were playing charades. I couldn’t believe we were playing charades – it seems pretty lame to me; I already had a pretty healthy cynicism about me in my teens. What had caught my attention though was the Jackson Browne album on the stereo. When it was my turn to demonstrate something and my clue was’ Deep Purple’ I was kind of useless

Classics IV - " Spooky " 1968

Love is kinka crazy with a spooky little girl like you. You always keep me guessin’. I never seem to know what you are thinkin’.

Hip to be Square

“Stormy” by the Classics IV (1968)

This is the story of a band few know the name of, but because they have been covered so often many have heard.

The British invasion was in high swing in mid sixties in the U.S. when this southern band formed in Jacksonville Florida. Doing covers of instrumentals (like the Ventures surf music), they were soon asked to sing. Dennis Yost the “stand-up” drummer as he was called started singing and drumming. The band, originally called the “Classics” was so named because of the brand name on his drum kit.
