Another ‘70s mixed disc. This must have been the electric “companion” to the acoustic disc from yesterday. A couple of Van Morrison cuts, followed by Rod “the Mod” Stewart and then Todd Rundgren. Liking the start, think I’m gonna enjoy the rest.

77F / 84% RH / 15 mph - didn’t do a whole lot today, if it doesn’t rain tomorrow I should do some yard work

Mixed ‘80s disc. Have almost no recollection of making this but so far it’s all stuff that I liked in that decade.

74F / 96% RH / 14 mph - glad the temp is down and the breeze is in the teens, otherwise I’d be sweating like a pig out in the garage

Isaac Hayes - Ultimate Isaac Hayes: Can You Dig It?

This man was much more than “The Theme From ‘Shaft’”.

73F / 93% RH / 13 mph - shoulda done some yard work but was too damn humid

No chit...a compilation of 80s music I liked could probably fit on a ten year old flash drive

That's another no****ter. I listen to Hot Buttered Soul about once a month lately. His imprint was on sooo much more of the Stax catalog than many realize. He almost singlehandedly brought Stax back to life for a few years after certain death.
And you can't overlook his work on South Park, either.

Falco "Puttin' on the Ritz" cause the radio played it this AM.

And if you can sing along without doing the Frankenstein/Peter Boyle on the refrain you're a better man than me!

Slacker...or whatever it's called now...Live X or something recommended I listen to a group I'd never heard of, Chainsmokers. So, I googled them and watched a vid on youtube....wtf???? 2Billion views...and holy bat crap..what garbage....I've always been sort of dismissive of pop, anyway, but I sure have gotten far removed from it...do not bother -- 1.999B views were probably 14 year old girls...I hope

Blood Sweat & Tears 3

Hi de ho and Lucretia McEvil were what most knew from this one, but 40000 Headmen is a great cover, if Sympathy for the Devil was a bit too out there

To be frank (...see what I did there? 🙄 ...), I made the disc for our shop so as I got deeper into it, there were more than a few songs that I would never have included if it were solely for myself. But you’re right, the ‘80s had a bunch of one-hit wonders and forgettable music.

About 12 years ago I “scored” a 256MB flash drive for under $30...thought I would never need that much memory. LOL! [frypan]

“HBS” and “Black Moses” are my favorite albums by the man. Loved the way he took Burt Bacharach songs and “soulified” them.

The Marshall Tucker Band - self-titled first album

Love the guitar solo by Toy Caldwell on “Can’t You See”.

74F / 90% RH / 7 mph - dark clouds over the mountains were threatening but I still managed to wash and wax my car...and then weedwack part of our yard before dinner

The Who - Live at Leeds (40th Anniversary Edition)

I’m so used to the 6-song original release that this w-a-y longer version sounds totally foreign. One of the groups I wished I saw with their original lineup.

73F / 90% RH / 12 mph - another hot and humid day

My favorite 'southern rock' band ....I know I'm in the minority, but I think the better Marshall Tucker eclipses the best Skynyrd or Allman Brothers.

Traffic - Mr. Fantasy

Dear Mister Fantasy play us a tune
Something to make us all happy
Do anything take us out of this gloom
Sing a song, play guitar
Make it snappy
You are the one who can make us all laugh
But doing that you break out in tears
Please don't be sad if it was a straight mind you had
We wouldn't have known you all these years
