Raise a little HELL

As I head off to my 4:20... an hour late...  and while I'm looking for that happy hour beer... here's my Thursday song....  this was a good party song back in the day...  yea..I know I'm dating myself with the picture of the 45.... deal with it...

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Live at Montreux 1985 Full Concert (Remaster 96kHz....

Just seems like a good set for this Thursday.

Chuck Barris song...

Written by Chuck Barris who recently died.... Palisades Park..... not a good song...  but one note worthy comment... the song was produced with a heavy echo and mid-rangey tone... because... it was thought at the time to sound better through one speaker AM radios...
I would say .. ENJOY... but that might be asking too much...   nevertheless.....

Thursday Anthem - Tubthumping!

CHUCK BERRY - father of Rock and Roll

Here's a good one... shows him jamming with two guys he influenced a lot....

R.I.P.   Mr. Chuck Berry...

R.I.P. CHUCK BERRY - LIVE 1972 Rocking Horse at BBC Theatre

One of the biggest influences of Rock and Roll. A Legend.

Wait for it, there is a little bit of dead space at the beginning, but it gets right into a great concert.

Gaelic Pop for Tuesday of Irish Week.

House of Pain to Kick Off the Week of Irish!

Often overlooked due to the popularity of their only true hit, "Jump Around" I still appreciate these ditties from House of Pain. Top of the Morning to Ya!
My favorite lines:
"You see I'm Irish, but I'm not a Leprechaun"
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".

Been listening to these guys... so groovy. Enjoy.
