Old School Musicianship… Rock and Roll.. Jazz… Blues… Big Band even…

Don't let this come between us.

Of course not! I don't care if you don't like them, like what you want. I just think calling them a cover band is like calling Mark Twain a newspaper writer. But you want to hate them? Hate away!!

Oh no, I like their work much better after they found drugs and the Dali Lama

I've always found the Beatles an enigma to see a cover band rise to superstardom early on like they did.

But while doing that, they destroyed R&R I mean Yellow Submarine, etc. etc. etc!

I don't hate them I just think they copied from every American R&R group to make the kids who didn't know any better buy their stuff. That's one person's opinion. I know they are loved and sometimes worshiped. I just kid with Rj and Brenda about them!

Oh dear LORD!!!! That's when they destroyed R&R! Have to go I'll leave the rest to you guys! TTFN

Okay - I'm totally done discussing that band. I'm far more curious what rest and relaxation have to do with it.

I love this style of songs when Elvis did them.

Elvis Presley - Santa Claus Is Back In Town

Elvis Presley - King Creole

Christmas Music That Doesn't Suck, Part 2.

@BrendaBear brought up Elvis. Its not really Christmas until we hear from Elvis. TO me "Blue Christmas" is ok. It was a hit because it was approachable for people who felt a bit depressed at Christmas. But Elvis recorded a real country-blues song: Merry Christmas, Baby

Let's see what kind of trouble I can get into this morning.
When I was 13 or around that age, we lived in Baltimore. This was a big hit back then

#2 Satisfied by my man Bob Seager

Always loved his voice.

 

[vastiesmith10]

The third song isn't a Blues song, but I have to play it.
One of music's most under-rated band.

Let it Roll by Little Feet

 

[vastiesmith10]

Has anyone ever heard of these guys? They sound really good (like the Beachboys)
