12/1/2022 “The Kinks Are the Village Green Preservation Society” is the 1968 album where you’ll find this pop song. Ever run into an old friend and realize you have nothing to talk about anymore, and certainly nothing in common? Critics hail it as one of Ray Davies best compositions.

11/24/2022 Eva Narcissus Boyd is also the artist that performed ”The Loco-Motion” in 1962, which was written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. She left us in 2003 due to illness beyond her control. Would you dare do the Turkey Trot in her honor? Give thanks for who and what you have, and remember the less fortunate.
S.O.D. "Picture In a Frame" by Rod Stewart
11/23/22 From his 28th studio album, “Time.” Does releasing your 28th album make you old? Stewart is 77, and still going strong. Many of his songs are about women, and this one is no different although it was written by Tom Waits and Kathleen Brennan.

Playing with a few different groups, some of which she founded, her main stream success came with The Juliana Hatfield Three, a trio she formed In the mid-1990s, which lasted only a few years, and was revisited around 2015. She also has a decent solo career and has done some acting.
