The Beach Boys - a comp of my favorites stretching from "Surfer Girl" to "Just Once in My Life"

The Youngbloods / Jesse Colin Young - a comp of my favorites from them

“Ride the Wind” is so under appreciated and probably little known but it’s one heck of a song.

76F / 79% RH / 14 mph - all in all, a pretty nice day

My buddy from work smoked a tri-tip and texted me to come over and drink beers and watch the game... so we adjourned to the patio and watched from there while we burned a couple smokes with a few beers.

Turned on the iTunes and introduced him and his wife to a few different genres. AC/DC... Live Wire (live from Atlantic recording studios in NYC), Alabama and Allison Moorer (his wife likes country and hadn't heard either), Bruce Hornsby and the Range (his 8 year old daughter is learning piano), Eagles, Elton John, Boz Scaggs... and they were like... dude!

Yeah... musicians... that can sing... and play instruments and stuff. They're both mid 30's. I think we have some converts.

Rod Stewart & the Faces - my “expanded” version of “Coast to Coast - Overtures and Beginners”

Added a few cuts from the Detroit show from the same tour.

78F / 79% RH / 12 mph - rainy night

An all-time favorite that I haven’t played in awhile....

J. Geils Band - Full House

“Are you ready to get down? Are you ready for some rock ‘n roll?”

Thanks Spotify!

76F / 97% RH / 9 mph - was pretty sticky and humid earlier, then the rain cooled things down

"Serves you right to suffer baby, serves you right, Your gonna live alone"

J. Geils-Serves You Right To Suffer

https://youtu.be/jRdRLnKhZlg

I love this song...my ex wife hated the blues, she called it my "feeling sorry for myself music"....anyway whenever we were "disagreeing" I'd put this on and crank it up to "11"...it's funny, because after that I couldn't hear her at all....I could see her lips flapping away, but I couldn't hear anything but some good music
It was prophetic too...she now "Lives Alone"

Elvis Costello - comp disc of favorites from 1977 to 1984

Always preferred “angry” Elvis over the later iterations.

77F / 78% RH / 6 mph - nice day
5265. Author: PalamaDate: Fri, 11/30/2018, 2:48AM EST
Neil Young - Live Rust

I’ve watched the DVD a couple of times but always wished I could have attended a show from this tour.

77F / 84% RH / 4 mph - felt like a Summer day today

Guitar lovers paradise:

Santana McLaughlin - September 1, 1973 - Chicago Amphitheater, Chicago, IL

They ended their tour 5 days later in Hawaii. I often times wish the 18 year old me could have appreciated it as much as the old, grumpy guy that I turned into. d'oh!

73F / 96% RH / 5 mph - lousy weather day

The Kinks - Lola Versus Powerman and the Moneygoround, Part One

Dunno when I last listened to the whole album but guessing 45+ years at the very least. Some of those youthful activities I participated in make it hard to recall details. Whistle

Eagles - 1st album and Desperado

They’re in town tonight but I’ve always preferred the original lineup to the one with Joe Walsh. And no Glenn Frey? No thanks.

75F / 84% RH / 13 mph - generally a pretty warm day, much cooler now

Vince Guaraldi Trio - A Charlie Brown Christmas (2012 Remastered and expanded version)

A Top 10 Deserted Island pick.

75F / 65% RH / 21 mph - off and on wet day, not so bad tonight except for the wind
5279. Author: dstiegerDate: Sun, 12/9/2018, 9:51AM EST
Pandora - Burning Spear Radio. Almost same as Bob Marley station....still mostly roots reggae, but a bit less of the Marley clan, and a little more of some lesser known artists and sub-genres
5280. Author: PalamaDate: Mon, 12/10/2018, 3:00AM EST
Jeff Beck - Truth

That Jeff guy is pretty good....the raspy guy on vocals could be alright after a few voice lessons.

74F / 84% RH / 13 mph - wet a good part of the day
5281. Author: PalamaDate: Tue, 12/11/2018, 2:38AM EST
Duane Allman - An Anthology

One of my all-time favorite guitarist. Such a shame he passed away so young.

75F / 87% RH / 23 mph - crazy weather day
5282. Author: PalamaDate: Wed, 12/12/2018, 2:48AM EST
Weather Report - Heavy Weather

Missed seeing them in 1977 when they played at the Waikiki Shell. Went to see Little Feat instead but Jaco came up after their show and sat in on the encore - “Teenage Nervous Breakdown”.

77F / 76% RH / 18 mph - windy, sometimes rainy, sometimes beautiful day
5283. Author: dstiegerDate: Thu, 12/13/2018, 4:03PM EST
Maynard Ferguson - Primal Scream

Had totally forgotten about MF for many years. He brought his band to my small hometown in '76 and I'd never heard anyone play a trumpet like that before...and few since
5284. Author: PalamaDate: Fri, 12/14/2018, 3:01AM EST
Jimi Hendrix - Electric Ladyland

I remember buying a used copy from a “hippie” shpo back in 1970, shortly before Jimi’s death. A few years later as a perk of working in a record store, I swapped my worn out, scratchy records for new copies. The old set was returned by a “customer” because it “skipped”. Liar

75F / 78% RH / 9 mph - moderately breezy but sunny day
5285. Author: PalamaDate: Sat, 12/15/2018, 3:51AM EST
David Bowie - Let’s Dance

My favorite Bowie album...helps to have the relatively unknown Stevie Ray Vaughan on guitar.

76F / 71% RH / 10 mph - beautiful day
5286. Author: PalamaDate: Tue, 12/18/2018, 2:18AM EST
Elton John - Rock of the Fillmore Westies - Nov. 1970 - Fillmore West, San Francisco, CA

Some "old" Elton when it was just a trio - Elton, Nigel Olsson and Dee Murray

74F / 68% RH / 7 mph - brrrrrrr!
5287. Author: PalamaDate: Wed, 12/19/2018, 2:39AM EST
Leo Kottke - 6- and 12-String Guitar

First heard this as a 20 year old in 1975. My appreciation for solo acoustic guitar changed that day.

71F / 89% RH / 25 mph - baby it’s cold outside
5288. Author: BuckwheatDate: Wed, 12/19/2018, 8:33AM EST

Interesting. Hadn't heard of this. Misread your post the other day and thought Rock of the Westies, which I enjoyed at the time of releases and even more once it became apparent it would be the last studio album from him that I could like.
Love most everything he did around 70, so I'll have to give it a listen

Let me know if you can’t find it, I’ll burn a copy for you...or in this technology age, send the .shn or .flac files to you.

Eric Clapton - Eric Clapton Christmas

Sometimes it’s better to stay retired....

My favorite solo JM album from the ‘70s.

77F / 78% RH / 6 mph - mostly overcast, some drizzles
5294. Author: PalamaDate: Mon, 12/24/2018, 2:33AM EST
Jackson Browne - Late For the Sky

Probably my favorite JB album.

76F / 76% RH / 9 mph (...but it’s gotta be twice that...) - lazy day, didn’t get much done other than grocery shopping and watching football
5295. Author: PalamaDate: Tue, 12/25/2018, 3:17AM EST

Still an all-time album for me.

This the same?

Great recording....Border Song is a highlight...always like Rod's version of Country Comfort better, but this is a great piece...the medley is sort of weird/all over the place, but it does give Dee and Nigel a nice showcase

Swervedriver -- on the recommendation of Rick Beato (if you are a fan of music and haven't watched his 'What makes the song great' videos, check them out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usRmxyGruWI ...I never knew there was a cello in Jeremy...lol)

Will compare and get back to you.

Edit: 2018-12-31 - The version I have is slightly longer in the beginning but after listening to the opening cut a couple of times, believe it is the same recording.

Beatles - Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band

Got this for Christmas when I was 12. Iirc, this was my first Beatles album, had some of their 45s but no LPs until then.

76F / 81% RH / 14 mph - overcast, somewhat windy and a little chilly by Hawaii standards
