So screw politics. Time enough for that later.
I have a lot to be thankful for, and I am, but I won't bore you with it right now.
But I did have a great Thanksgiving Day. It was just Mrs. Right and me, as usual and just as the way we like it. Then we got up at 4 am for Black Friday because, well hell, I forget why? Do remember buying lots of stuff.
After a few hours we returned. I gave serious thought about taking a long nap, but remembered I had some work to do. And now I'm sitting at my computer working on a couple of projects. You see, I didn't have to go to work today....but I did have to get some work done. See the difference? Me neither.
How about some music? Anyway, started playing some old songs that have been helping me keep it together today and I thought..what the hell...I'll share with you.
Got some songs from the
1960s when there was lots of different music on AM radio. Why? Only a few rock stations around. Well, I remember WQAM in Miami that programmed some terrific music. Here's some of the songs I heard back in the day, courtesy of YouTube:
Needles and Pins by
The SearchersNeon Rainbow by
The BoxtopsSunshine of Your Love by
The Cream (and they were too)
Soul Deep also by
The Boxtops (an underrated group that I listened to a lot)
Paint It Black by
The Rolling StonesWe Ain't Got Nothin' Yet by the
Blues Magoos
Time Has Come Today by the
Chambers BrothersWho'll Stop the Rain? by
Creedence Clearwater RevivalParanoid by
Black SabbathYep, we old boomers could rock back then. You know, when the dinosaurs roamed.

For the hell of it, how about some music from the
1980s...there actually was some good stuff then.
Remember when MTV used to have, you know, actual music? Think very hard. Well, here's a couple of very different songs with the same title that showcased some of the best of 80s rock:
Midnight Blue by
Melissa Manchester (actually from the 70s but also had success in 80s)
followed by
Midnight Blue by
Lou Gramm
