Jacki, hope you have a second great Thanksgiving, no reason we can’t celebrate too in the north!

Another gratitude song. To all the teachers and people in our lives growing up we looked up to for guidance and courage, that taught us so much about this world and life, and made us who we are. THANK YOU!

One of my favourite movies of all time. I have the original soundtrack album vinyl my parents bought after we watched this movie in the 60s when it came out.
In 1967, singer Lulu who acted in the movie as one of the students, recorded this song and it became her big #1 charting song in the USA.

Was watching one of my home videos from the 90s driving along in California in one of my road trips, and my friend was along filming the scenery with my camcorder as we drove along. We had the radio playing and this song came on in the background. I watched this home video recently and the song took me back to those happy days, when I had my mom and dad healthy and young. This is an incredible gratitude song that makes me tear up and think of them thankful for giving me the happiest days of my life. I posted this here before, but here it is again.

My favourite Motown song is Locomotion, and Grand Funk Railroad covered a wild rock version of it, and love their live performance of it that I think is hard to beat.

A big stand out live performance I watched I won’t forget is the 4th of July 1980 Beach Boys concert in front of nearly half a million people in front of the Washington Monument. It was right in the middle of the hostage crisis in Iran, and there was a lot of patriotism in the air on that 4th of July, and the Beach Boys were perfection to bring the country together. Something the USA needed to celebrate freedom and joy in a tough period.
This was before internet and youtube, so to see a full live concert like this played on TV was an amazing moment. I was thrilled was to put it mildly.
A decade later at work a good friend of mine to this day, talked about how he came upon a Beach Boys concert in Washington DC while he was doing a year long road trip through the USA, and it turned out he was at that concert. What a small world.
I’ve been to 4 of their concerts and they put on an incredible Fun, Fun, Fun show, from the moment they come on stage to the 3 or 4 encores at the end, it is absolutely delirious.

David
That’s great to hear about Now and Then. MLTs spontaneous and diligent effort that week to get that video out payed off.
Everybody’s Talkin is also doing great showing 75K views in just 2 days, building on the momentum of Now and Then.

Thanks for sharing this David. Why Do Fools Fall In Love is certainly a great song, covered by many big artists later like the Beach Boys.
Your post reminds me of another child prodigy, Michael Jackson. He started writing songs at age 9.

Hi David, it’s a great timeless classic. I highly recommend it.

Hi Tim,
Lynard Skynard is one of the great musician rockers for sure. A lot of brilliant guitar work.
I always enjoyed the Moody Blues, some of their songs like Nights In White Satin are so timeless, and I also liked this one since I first heard it. Another favourite 60s songs. They sound great live.

Hi Tim
Yeah I remember that, and it was the Interior Secretary who said that, and even President Ronald Reagan and the First Lady Nancy chimed in saying they liked the Beach Boys, and the 4th of July concert with the Beach Boys went on. That may have been a subsequent 4th of July concert the year after, but I think the biggest American Rock Band was the most fitting to do that show. The whole band was there including all 3 Wilson brothers Brian, Carl and Dennis. It was their biggest concert they ever did.

Welcome back David. This is a calming and soothing song. I like the music box effect with a clock or metronome in the background. It’s an introspective song, beautiful.

Wow Tim, “Sylvia’s Mother” is so touching and moving. I’ve never heard this one. I can feel that gut wrenching pull of it. I’ve heard of Dr Hook, they had a number of big hits I recall. When You’re In Love with A Beautiful Woman, Sharing the Night Together, Only Sixteen….
The Rolling Stones had some great melancholic ballads like Wild Horses, Angie, and this one:
