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.
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":
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:
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
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:
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"
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...
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:
