Interesting band. They do a lot of covers, but they shy away from the big hits.

Yeah. Landslide right now.

Mandolin is kind of a cross between guitar and banjo. Strikes me somewhat the way harmonica does. Harmonica always gets to me.

Mandolin is also a kitchen gadget made for slicing vegetables (as well as the fingers of a musician). The musical instrument, not so much. 😂
 
I just keyed up Madonna’s album Ray of Light. Playing it loud enough because I have no neighbor’s and so I can hear it while I swim laps for 30 minutes.

She has quite a few upbeat tempo songs that are in my exercise play list. But today the full album
 


SOFT ROCK

----------

I mentioned Nicolette Larson back in post #61. She was fantastic that night, although it was the Ozark Mountain Daredevils I actually went to see.

Hoped they would play this song from their classic LP "Men From Earth," but they didn't.

I still can:

I LOVE the piano dropped octave at the beginning and again later on again @ 0:57 and 2:10. Sounds for all the worth like dripping, melting water to my ear.

Two other really good songs from MFE:

I think this was from Chicago Nine (IX). I'm nearly certain this album was recorded at the Caribou Ranch studio north and west of Nederland CO. Nearly as certain Elton John recorded his "Greatest Hits" there too. Unfortunately the CR studio burned to the ground a few years later.


and live:

This is a song which demands you hear the very first note, IMO. Love this guitar intro.

Sounds completely different--this is Annie Lennox--but I so hear a couple of bars of background horns (Chicago type horns ^) beginning @2:18, but really coming in @3:48 and again @4:48. "I love me my horns sections," I guess.

Back to video for this one. See the little firecracker @28:00-32:00.

Remember (I hope) that you have to push the slider along (to the right) and to the 28 minute mark in this case


My niece was about the same age then, and was a competitive dancer, but she says this little gal is a cut above all the rest.

Bragging on my niece (thanks for the platform): She's currently studying for the MCAT. Intense.

The "Look Of Love--"Dusty Springfield.

Good grief. I might not stop until I've played every song or tune YouTube has to offer. Still awake.

As far as this video goes, it's from the James Bond (spoof) Casino Royale (1967). Panned by the critics, but widely sought after to play in by the entertainment elite then: David Niven, Peter Sellers, Ursula Andres, Joanna Pettet, Woody Allen (the arch-villian), Jean Paul Belmondo ("ooch"), Orson Welles, John Huston. Debora Kerr, Barbara Bouchet...and a host of others.

And the first film by a beautiful lady credited as "Jackie Bisset." Rowwrrrr!

But anyway...it's Dusty Springfield singing "The Look Of Love" we have here. The Voice.

I was going to call and raise you an "Eddie Van Halen"...but then I thought about David Lee Roth...

...so I think I'll just call:

[But then too...bonus points for me. This video also has trains.]


Says it right there ^ "I got too much energy to switch off my mind...and not enough to get myself organized."

And this is decaf.
