Birthday Party 2017 - Video Playlist
Jay-String-ers,
Thank you for being at my party. The worst part is that it is over before it really begins. Here is the playlist I had that just a fraction of the videos play through. It is pretty rockin'. Enjoy.

Talk About it Being Friday!!
I found this sketch that I wanted to share but wanted to tie in the name, "Let's Talk About Something More Interesting" somehow to music. So, here you go... a good start to the end of the week.
Let's Give Them Something to Talk About

"boys would be gone without warmth from a woman's good, good heart"
Seems fitting considering the exposure of predatory men, lately.
She puts the color inside of my world
But, she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe It's got nothing to do with me
Daughters
I know a girlShe puts the color inside of my world
But, she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change
And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe It's got nothing to do with me
Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Oh, you see that skin?
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made
It's the same she's been standing in
Since the day she saw him walking away
Now she's left cleaning up the mess he made
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Boys, you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soldier on
But boys would be gone without warmth from
A woman's good, good heart
On behalf of every man
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and weight of her world
Looking out for every girl
You are the God and weight of her world
So fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Rock N Roll Hall of Fame Nominee Time - Vote for The Cars!
For about three years I have been voting for the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame nominations. Mostly because I am ticked off that The Cars have not been inducted yet when so many other newer bands have made it in. Here is where you can vote.
And here are the reasons why they should be inducted, starting with "Just What I Needed" :

Two of my favorite vampire flicks of my childhood. This Salem's Lot scene scared me for years.

Walter Becker Died Sunday.... When I lived on Maui I used to sit on the balcony of the cabin I stayed at...look out west watching the sunset over Moloka'i and listen to Donald Fagen and Walter Becker rehearse in the studio nearby....

and
"Freak it, Funk it, Backseat, Trunk it!"
Of course, there's nothing better than another H.o.P. video introduced by Irish funny man, Dennis Leary back when MTV had videos. "Shamrocks and Shenanigans".

Most famous for his What a Wonderful World cover... but I like this one
and HAPA.... which mean s whitey or foreigner in Hawaii
in the beginning he is saying "the smell of the pikake flower is picked up by a gentle breeze and carried to my nose... and that reminds me of you"

Oscar Nominated - Sting - Empty Chair
Well, of course, the Sting concert was freakin' amazing. It was like he was in my living room, we were so close. We both said how much we just would like to hang out with him, so personable, so cool.
He ended his encore as he started it, alone on a chair with a guitar. He ended with this song from a documentary movie up for an Oscar, (along with this song). It is about the reporter that was beheaded by ISIS, James Foley.
It has been on my mind as I have been researching so many aspects of our nation's military history, but is fitting for anyone.

We Must Fight For Our Right!
First time I encountered this one was on Guitar Hero. Killer solo section that was a bear to pass. Never saw the video until now. KICK ASS! Spaghetti Western, Buck Rogers, Battlestar Galactica, and Kung Fu all rolled into one bad ass rock song video. Watching again, I see references to Planet of the Apes and Lone Ranger too. Anyone see anything else?

Kaz with Chuck Rainey
Here is a very close friend Kaz playing with Chuck Rainey in Japan... you've heard Chuck on albums from Steely Dan to Aretha, Joe Walsh, Herbie Hancock... and a billion others...
Kaz passed away 18 months ago... he was a very good friend for a long time... and one of the most soulful players I've seen... He did a great version of Joe Cocker You are so beautiful for our first dance at our wedding.. then went right in to Why don't we all go get stoned...
Kaz, your missed !!

"If you ever go to Houston, boy, you better walk right"
Huddie William "Lead Belly" Ledbetter's Angola Prison tune derived from an American slave folklore song pays the typical correctional facility and crime-twisted tribute to the host of this year's Stooper Bowl, Houston, Texas.
May the Atlanta Falcons be that "Midnight Special" come Sunday.

Check this....
OK.. maybe not the best song to have in the blog.... Michaal Phillips playing the National Anthem on the sax... but listen to what he does at about 1:15 in to it.... he holds this monster note for over 20 seconds... its called circular breathing... watch the video.. he keeps air going out of his mouth while he breathes in through his nose... very difficult...
The Prophet Song
One of my most favorite Queen songs of all time. I could not find a Freddie Mercury concert with this song that I felt did the recorded version justice, but I did find this tribute band, The Queen Extravaganza that NAILS IT! So here we go, from Zombies to Prophets:
And in my search, I found this great little documentary on the story behind the song, which I have always wondered about listening to the harmonies blaring in my ear drums in stereo, imagining a choir standing all around me.
