Ramdom Music Fridays

I hoped and prayed this was true.

Everyone of Johnny's songs were a love song. We saw him in concert at the O'Keefe Centre (now the Meridian Hall) in Toronto. It was so quiet during his songs but when he finish each songs the audience would rise as one for a standing ovation. Civility ended with groups such as the Clash whose fans destroyed hundreds of seats.
Back then the O'Keefe Centre was (surprise) subsidized by the O'Keefe family of O'Keefe brewery fame. They wished everyone to experience the arts so the last 1/4 or so of the centre's seating was dedicated to $1 seats. Even the great seats we got were only $5. Yes, it was an honor system which seem to work. Of course the $1 seats were to the rear of the hall which is immense.

It's Random Friday, so some Free Beer for all, and a darn good song too:

Another O'Keefe Centre concert with Henry Mancini. This is favorite of Mrs. SVC. As you may surmise I lean to the themes from Peter Gunn and The Pink Panther.

 

[CL82]

Maybe this would fit better for Monday but...

It's Friday, so back in high school we were always looking forward to...

 

[TerpWomenFan]

Not sure which is more fun, the song or the video. They had $100,000 to make the video. And they spent a considerable amount of that $100,000 on alcohol.

Always reminds me of summer.

Steal My Sunshine - Len

I've always thought this was a great song.

A little Friday tip of the hat to ZZ Top and the late Dusty Hill:

 

[Mdoggie]

Absolutely great version!

 

[EasyEd]

I remember going out to bars on Friday nights to hear a band that a guy from work was in. This song always seemed to energize the crowd:

That intro baseline!

 

[LwrcasefaN]

This man could party all by himself.

 

[LwrcasefaN]

Can you imagine a basketball player with this footwork! lol

 

[Ozimoto]

Here's another good weekend prep song from my high school days.

Ah, the days of "glam rock."

 

[Scud49]

Football season is here, and the UCONN ladies will soon play, so its a "Happy Time".

 

[Scud49]

George Harrison, his Apple Scruffs song, and a great video of the Beatles over the years:

 

[Bigboote]

This is a wicked cool song that kind of came out of nowhere for me. It's from Arjen Lucassen, who's known for his metal bands, but this is kind of dreamy progressive rock.

 

[Bigboote]

This is a gorgeous song from the first Gentle Giant album:

 

[Conndog]

Well since Friday is the beginning of the weekend, how about this one?

Love this song! Underrated band

 

[EasyEd]

When the weekend is here I think girls just want to have fun

 

[Scud49]

Michael Dinner, from I believe his one and only album entitled "The Great Pretender".

The song is Jamaica, just a delifghful island tune with those wonderful steel drums throughout:
