Here is something I did in the Summer of 2006- a particularly brutal summer, surpassed only by July this year.
This was my First Annual Summer Lollapalooza- and so far the only, lol!
In this first of 4 parts, we begin with as ROCKING a set of music as I have ever opened with.
Then the best song ever about…

All good things must come to an end, although it may be presumptuous of me so say that this Series was a good thing, lol!
That Mr. Jones visual indicates something a bit different in this final episode of our extensive and extended look at Rock & Roll Mister…

The next to last Chapter of my exploration of Rock & Roll Mister Songs.
Not being a sexist about it, there are far more Mr. songs than Miss, Mrs. or Ms. songs combined.
The hardest part of this was choosing from…

An Acoustic Guitar, what could that mean?
It means I am turning the Mister Songs over to the Folk and Folk Rock Folk for this first half of the show.
The usual collection of songs some will know and some won't, a…

Continuing with Booker T & The MG’s on an old show from November 2008.
They had a number of hits in the 60’s.
Bassist Steinberg was replaced by Donald “Duck” Dunn in 1965.
The group had its first hit with Booker T playing his signature Hammond B-3 organ in 1967, and it was used…

An old show from November 2008 as I am on vacation, and I picked it because you cannot tell when it was done- except for one instance where I mentioned Election Day, which it was.
This was the first and only time so far I have ever featured an instrumental band on the show- and I couldn’t have picked a better group than Booker T & The MG’s.
A popular soul band in the 60’s & 70’s, they…

Let's move forward with the Mister songs a bit, even dipping into the 70's.
I'll begin with the tune that in my opinion is THE song that started a whole type of Music- what became known in the mid-60's as Folk Rock.
Not only that, it began the American…

The doctor fixed me.
I can hear people talking to me, my phone ear (the left) is working again, and best of all, I can hear Music...in STEREO!…

Well I am getting those Oldies out of my system, and maybe coincidentally also had my ear fixed, lol!
But there are many hard-core Oldies people I know who think Music changed for the worse- ended even- with the arrival of the Beatles.
I like dipping back now and then for a show or…

Well I warned you.
Something about the Summer brings a yearning for Oldies to me.
This is a departure from the usual Music I play, almost all the songs will be from the 50's and early 60's.…

More of that NEWER Music for most of this 2nd half of Odds & Ends, songs from the last year or two.
The Theme without a Theme, lol!
Beginning with a guy who I'll bet has had more Music released since he died than when he was…

Here's one of those every now and then Odds & Ends Shows I like to do- no Theme!
But every time I sit down and do them, a Theme takes shape.
Apparently I cannot play Music any other way, lol!
In this case, it arose from my being labeled an Oldies…

This is it, the Closer for Building A House With Song.
And I am still blaming that other guy, that Jack guy.
HE did it...I told you...it wasn't me, lol!
The House We Have Built Is Completed And Is Home!
It may have its imperfections, but so do People.
But it is People That Make The House, none of that other small stuff matters.
Plus Home is a place of comfort and safety, a Fortress Of Solitude for us- where we…

While I was listening to the songs I was playing in the first half hour of this show, I thought of a couple of Oldies that might also fit that mini-topic.
So at the break, I ran over and picked out a couple.
They may not be Poets, but they could get their…

I will start this Chapter with a song about something a few people wrote me and suggested we should have.
Hint: it is built to be outside.
Don't really know why we need one, I wouldn't use it, lol!…
