Ipod Tuesday

Today was the 33rd anniversary of the wedding day of my first marriage. I celebrated by mowing the yard. As stated before, I really like mowing my own yard, over the whine of the lawn mower, THIS is where I hatch my plans to take over the world, you can see how far I have gotten. Anyway, had the old Ipod charged and ready to go. With weedeating and some general maintanence in the yard, I was out for about one hour and twenty minutes, here is what came up as I shuffled my way back to...wherever.

We started with..
Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey - Paul McCartney...one of my faves from him
Unchained-Van Halen...underrated Fair Warning disc
Dragonfly-Mahogany Rush..from IV a very fine release from 1976
In From The Storm-Hendrix..nuff said
The Fool and Me-Robin Trower..another Raley Hall of Fame album
I Just Want To Celebrate-Rare Earth...great song for 4th of July eve
Across The Border-ELO..was there a better album than "Out of The Blue"? maybe, maybe not
Shouldn't Have Took More Than You Gave-Dave Mason...see previous post
Trademark-Eric Johnson...Ah Via Musicom was my favorite release of 1991
Stone Cold Crazy-Queen...heavy metal Queen 2:16 of pure rock and roll
Workin For MCA-Skynyrd...one of their best, loved this band
Last Of The Singin Cowboys-Marshall Tucker..maybe my favorite song of theirs
Rocket In My Pocket-Little Feat...great live tune
Fools-Deep Purple..from Fireball when I was 15, this was my favorite album
Accidents will Happen-Elvis Costello...I hated this guy till I got older
All Things Must Pass-George Harrison...miss this dude a lot
The E Street Shuffle-Bruce...before he was famous
You-Bonnie Raitt...gets me every time.
Do You Want To Dance?-Jim Messina..one of the best albums to make love to..not that I would know or anything

Not a bad playlist, huh? Think I could run my own station? Nah...

Oh dear, I have everyone of those songs. I found you blog trying to help a friend of mine find who actually wrote " Warm and Tender Love", an old Dave Mason tune. Your own bit of cyberspace is very nicely done. Have a picture of where I live for you skyline collection. Iain iainy1@gmail.com

Unchained-Van Halen...underrated Fair Warning disc

Fair Warning is the absolute zenith of Van Halen. They've never been better than that, and they never will be. They've sadly become a punchline now but everytime I listen to that (and Women And Children First)? I sit and stare at the speakers and wonder where the hell it all went wrong...

Just an FYI - listening to anything in headphones while mowing or weed eating is a dangerous practice. Personal stereos with headphones can be damaging to hearing to begin with and when you add in turning up the volume to compensate for the mower or weed eater noise you are doing some real damage to your hearing.

Other than that - nice music mix!

Thanks for the concern, after having spent over thirty years under haedphones, not much hearing is left. It's always August and cicada season in my head. Thanks for reading.
