I Wanna Rock ‘n’ Roll All Night….

Well, maybe. Kinda. Sorta. Does waiting for midnight on New Year’s Eve count? I really, really like my sleep, people…..

But I still love rock’n’roll. If you do as well, readers, then check out the great songs. You may not “wanna rock’n’roll all night,” but you will enjoy these tunes. Who doesn’t like good old-fashioned rock’n’roll?! 😀

Catch ya later!

Hit the Road!

2020 has not been a hard year for celebrities. Among those lost, Charlie Daniels will be sorely missed by all, whether they are country music fans or not. While his song is last on the list, that does not mean he is last in this author’s mind. Last place in a collection of almost any sort tends to be the place of honor, and this time is no exception.

Rest easy, Mr. Daniels. We will miss you.

Enjoy the music, readers!

More Oldies But Goodies

Here are some more “oldies but goodies” for you to enjoy, readers! Is it just me, or is this stuff better than a lot of the newer music being produced by a lot of companies today?

Don’t get me wrong – I like several new artists very, very much. But they’re few and far between; music like this just strikes a better chord with me. (Pun intended, more or less.) There’s just something about these songs that makes them superior to a lot of the new noise being created now, in my opinion.

Anyway, here are some “retro” tunes to brighten your day, readers. Enjoy!

Oldies But Goodies

Here are some more tunes to get you rockin’ and rollin’, readers! Call me a nostalgist or a retroist or a whatever-you-wish, there is no way to beat those oldies but goodies. Rap’s got nothing on these songs which charm and inspire, lifting minds to the higher things in life even though some of them aren’t exactly perfect.

So take some time to “listen to the music,” readers, and may these songs bring many smiles to your faces in the future!

Sing a Spell

I am not a musical person. I could not play an instrument to save my life – which may be the reason why I enjoy listening to music so much. There are several songs I can pick out by the introductory notes. Although it may take me a while to recall the name of the song, I will recognize it on some level and be able to start singing it – sometimes long after the song is over.

For your aural pleasure, readers, stop and enjoy some of the music below. Maybe you’ll be able to sing these songs later on, too. 😉
