6/8/2022 Mabel Louise Smith was given the name Big Maybelle due to her incredible voice. The Tennessee born vocalist released 22 albums and 41 singles over the course of 36 years. She began recording songs in 1944 at age 20 with Christine Chatman’s Orchestra. Smith left us way too early at age 47. There were a handful of recordings of this song, and Mabel’s version received the Grammy Hall of Fame Award in 1999 posthumously. ENJOY!!!!
6/7/2022 This Canadian trio was active mainly between 1973 and 1982. They were all about progressive rock, psychedelic, and space rock. The band took their name from a character of the movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still. This 1976 tune is one of their most popular, and was covered by The Carpenters two years later.
6/6/2022 The Flashbulb, Dr Lefty, Human Action Network, Acidwolf, Lucid32. These are just some of the names that this modern jazz/electronic multi instrumentalist works under. He has composed many works during his 29 years in the business, including for TV and film. Mr. Jordan is also big on music piracy, uploading his own music from his own record label to piracy sites. He looks down upon the powers of companies like Amazon and iTunes. This song is a tribute to astronomer and astrophysicist, Carl Sagan.
6/5/2022 The FOALS are an English hard rock band that formed in Oxford, England in 2005. Their 7th studio album is due to be released in June of 2022. During a bullfight, the bull is really the star.
6/4/2022 From the Ohio rock group’s 2003 album, “Earthquake Glue.” If we only had glue that strong. Maybe a leaf magnet as well. That’s a ton of less yardwork.
6/3/2022 Found this 2000 alternative rock song on a list of songs about being lazy. Being lazy should only come in small spurts, and only after being productive. We might get there in our 80s or 90s. Enjoy, and get something done!!
6/2/2022 Any musical group that made it as big as The Beach Boys and other groups in the 60s were pretty much geniuses, most likely with an alter ego. Probably no surfer girls in this audience.
6/1/2022 Getting out of school for the summer was the best. If only this were true of work. Enjoy Spending EVERY SECOND WITH YOUR CHILDREN!!! Music will help you get through the day.
5/31/2022 A well put together song, written by band members James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich. Released in 1989, it tells the story of a World War I soldier in a military hospital after losing, among other things, his limbs. This seems to be Metallica caring about the right thing. War may be the worst thing ever. The Los Angeles-based heavy metal band has been together for 41 years, with four current members and only four past members.
5/30/2022 This song was originally called “Color Pictures of a Marigold,” and was composed by Dave Grohl. It is from the 1992 album, “Pocketwatch.” This was when Grohl was calling his music project, Late!

5/28/2022 These guys were a lot of fun when they were around, that time being from the 60s to the early 80s.

5/23/2022 This released single is from the 2002 album “Under Rug Swept.” Morissette needed only around 20 minutes to write each song. She had not planned on producing the whole album herself, but that’s the way it happened.
5/22/2022 This song has nothing to do with ice cream. The title is merely a small comparison to something a male and female are going through. This happens often the music.
5/21/2022 From their 1975 self-titled debut album. Enjoy!!!
5/20/2022 This song is about the largest construction company that ever existed. They are responsible for building the entire American infrastructure for the Vietnam war. Steve Earle joins Rodney Crowell for this performance.
