Post a cover version of a song you prefer over the original. This one pops to mind for me - David Bromberg's version of Mr BoJangles. The original was written and first recorded by Jerry Jeff Walker.

Good stuff:

Just perfection - dropping it in over 3 defenders:

Good Paige career re-cap video, it just posted on Twitter:

How about one more music thread before the season. Let's make it "your personal fav's" - special tunes/special artists in any genre you've always liked. Bob Marley is one of those artists I've always loved, he's had many great tunes such as "Is This Love":

Haha - Amari doesn't hold back! :D

Let's try the theme of anything old: old memories, old love, old places, etc. Steely Dan - My Old School:

Well, it's the very first day of fall, so let's post some songs with titles or lyrics that touch on this wonderful time of year. One of my biggest fav's - Van the Man's "Autumn Song":

We've touched on a number of musical areas thus far this off-season, so perhaps it's time to touch on one we haven't - some good jazz flavored stuff. I love this mellow one by the Meters:

Saw this in my YouTube feed tonight. UCONN is well represented, but I say what's a list of "The Best" without some controversy? Let's hear it. :)

In her Egyptian uni, getting ready, FIBA U19 World Cup games, July 15-23:

I have a lot of them, and Steely Dan is right up there:

You push play or drop the needle down onto the vinyl - and Bam - you know right away it's not a Sappy-ish lovey song. The Door's "Break on Through" - it's just that kinda song: :D

The Allman Brothers - song is Blue Sky. "Don't fly Mr Bluebird, I'm just walking down the road"

I'll start it off with this one, I'm no fan of Led Zeppelin, but I do like the song "When the Levee Breaks", originally done by Memphis Minnie back in 1929:

Over the off season, I'd be very happy if Ayanna can learn to employ some good up-fakes like this one from Larry Bird - the defender is totally neutralized. My sense is she has all the power and athleticism, just gotta add some craftiness to her game:

My Top 5: 1. Beatles 2. Crosby, Still, Nash, & Young 3. Steely Dan 4. Van Morrison 5. Santana I'll start with Santana - I'll Be Waiting, such a beautiful, joyous song:

Maybe we can bring some attention to a few buried, beautiful, gems from over the years....maybe decades? I'll kick it off with this one from Dire Straits:

Can be in the title or in the lyrics. Buffalo Springfield - from one of their very first albums:

She spills on a few UCONN "secrets".

I'm not surprised, if anyone could ever deal positively with a serious ACL injury, it's Kia Nurse:

Boy, I've had a lot of this feeling today....

The Flying Burrito Brothers - Four Days of Rain:

Poco - Heart of the Night:

I remember John Lennon said he was tired of music critics hyper analyzing the Beatles songs, so he wrote "I Am the Walrus" and told friends "Let them analyze this one"

Dee Clark - Raindrops

I'll kick it off with a great Quicksilver song:

Can be solo artists, song writers, lead singers of groups, notable guitar players, any genre, any time period. Let's give these fantastic ladies some love and the credit they deserve. I'll lead it off with Bonnie Raitt:

I think we could have some fun and enjoyment with this theme once again. This will be round 3 for us, as I've done a couple others in past years. Post an old tune that was a favorite, or one that's obscure and out of the mainstream, or finally, perhaps one that was pretty well known, but has...

George Harrison - Beware of Darkness:

According to this, 4 of the top 5 are the ladies, with Paige and Azzi holding down spots #1 and #5:

All right, we seem to be in a bit of an understandable funk right now over injuries, transfers, sliding rankings, and some key losses. So what song(s) best describe what you're feeling about things in general at this time? The title of this great Stones song sums it nicely for me:

We got time for one more?? I think so, just barely though. And this is it from me, I swear...! Can be referenced in the lyrics or in the title. Here's one from '67:
