My bad. I’ve gone and done it this time I simply forgot to do a music night post.
In that vane please post videos that you have not remembered in a long time.
Let’s start our with Memories from Cats.
Oh Shite! Music Night

I Believe in God, But I Hate Religion Part 2
The thought of eternal suffering is a significant motivator for those who are strong in their religious beliefs. It is also conducive to those who push various religious doctrines on their congregants to keep them in line.

Well, since I thought it was Friday –
(easy to lose track of time some times)
How could I ever forget another of my all-time favorite bands that I’ve seen throughout the years at least 5 times, the last time just 3 years ago at an Indian Casino –
Chicago – Feeling Stronger Every Day
And this is one of my favorite songs –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-wHixgp2RE
Saw the original Chicago in 1974 and the opening act was the Pointer Sisters and they were new and excellent, but people booed them off the stage and that was quite sad.
Then another favorite was from that era was this –
Peter Frampton – Do You Feel Like We Do –
Javez, You made me think of this….

I remember these were two of the best bands I saw live (hardcore warning):
Type O Negatice – World Coming Down
httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN_BlF9Vtvw
Some hardcore girls from the late 90’s
Kittie – Spit
httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6MKhqFBCBGg
I almost forgot about Kittie. Awesome.

I grew up playing guitar.
My father played, all my brothers played, and I used to be so envious, so when I was about 4 years old, my dad taught me some songs on the Hawaiian Guitar – I still have my original finger-picks and slide and my goodness, how small were my fingers!
My dad graduated me to acoustic when I was about 5 and 1/2, and this is one of my favorite groups to this day, even though this wasn’t a song we played –
The Ventures – Wipe Out –
This was the very first song that I ever learned as a 4 year old on the Hawaiian Steel String Guitar –
This was the very first song that I learned on an acoustic that also had steel strings and a neck far too wide for a child’s hand, but I did it anyway –
And then I learned this song in the 4th grade –
Don’t you miss Mary?
Wipe Out! Now that brings back memories.
Oh Javez,
I taught myself to play guitar on my oldest brothers steel string fender acoustic.
He later had traded it for a catamaran sail boat.
Those steel strings were beastly on my 12 year old fingertips but I stuck to it.
I got gigs and was in various bands.
Total Bohemian life.
I spent hours of time learning every kind of thing from Beatles (of course) to
Burt Bacharach

If you are going to go Broadway
I love this
In my mind, the best version
Sorry to know that
This is closing down on Broadway

Beautiful.
Okay, if we’re talking favorite albums, go ahead and laugh at me, but I used to love Neil Diamond, before he went Elvis – in fact, the very first date that I was allowed to go on at 15 years old was to a Neil Diamond concert and my gosh, back then, he wore the black and was thin and was so damn sexy and Albert Brooks was the opening comedian and it is an excellent memory.
I still have the ticket stubs stapled to this Neil Diamond album!
LOL
Neil Diamond – Tap Root Manuscript – African Suite
“Brother Loves Traveling Salvation Show” is the first single I remember owning. So don’t feel bad with your admission.
And who doesn’t love Holly Holy – the opening guitar riff is awesome!
Ok you may want to forget this … but we love it at our house
I think Cher once tried to give me a link to this
httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUlw4NT08Ds
The song that says it all for me –
Cat Stevens – Father and Son –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jek6iP6AuAQ
Another one of my favorites –
Simon and Garfunkel – The Only Living Boy in New York –
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IwYQ1Vqf_4
And don’t laugh, but I love this song because of what it says about the moon –
Neil Diamond – Done Too Soon –
I almost forgot what Neil Diamond looked like when he was young.
Own every album and CD once CDs came out up to the Morningside Album.
He lost me when he did the Jonathan Livingston Seagull.
Once in awhile, after a few beers, I’ll play them, and luckily, my husband’s mother and his sisters loved him too back then, and he hates to admit it, but he likes him, too.
Another favorite of mine and both my husband and I love them are Simon and Garfunkel and we own the albums and CDs.
And then there’s Donovan.

I’m lucky that we both share the same love of music, including classical, except where we have a problem is that my husband likes Smashing Pumpkins and I can’t tolerate them!
LOL
Michael Jackson – Billy Jean – one of my all time favorites
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PAJqgeeJf4
Doobie Brothers – What a Fool Believes
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VZ5DfCY6kY
Cyndi Lauper – Time After Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VdQY7BusJNU
Dire Straits – Money For Nothing –
Hey you callin’ me a fool. 😆
Two of my favorite albums from the 90’s by Live and Black Crowes. I forgot the names of the albums to be honest.
Two great rock ballads.
httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsJ4O-nSveg
httpsh://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a76FeV2-Dw
Black Crowes still have a big following, but yeah, Live was excellent, what ever happened to them?
This is one of my favorite songs from the ’90s I re-found listening to satellite radio that I had forgotten.

Is that Midnight?
If so, I just love that song, and it is one of the only ones that I can actually play on the piano
Barbra Streisand did that song superbly.
I don’t remember. 😉
