I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

The VCR and the DVD there was a none of that crap back in 1970

We didn’t know about a World Wide Web
Was a whole different game being played back when I was a kid

Wanna get down in a cool way
Picture yourself on a beautiful day
Big bell bottoms and groovy long hair
Just walkin’ in style with a portable CD player
No, you would listen to the music on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio

I’d be in bed with the radio on
I would listen to it all night long
Just to hear my favorite song
You’d have to wait but you could hear it on the AM radio
Yeah, you could hear the music on a AM radio
I can still hear Mama say, “Boy turn the radio down”

spurred on by a silly radio bit

… with the dj wanting listeners to call in with what they’d consider the best/ultimate/quintessential St.Valentine’s Day song; sums up the broad scope criteria of the shtick. So it made me think … and pretty sure some of ya would love to Slide It In … lol. And while that’s a good’un, gonna have to romantically go with Gaye … sing it with me y’all … come on come on come on come on come on baby stop beatin’ ’round the bush … damn, am just see my title boo-boo. Yep, def should read spurs on, lol. Giddy-up!! 😈

I bring my song into the world and I sing it everywhere

music holds the secret to know it can make you whole
it’s not just a game of notes it’s the sounds inside your soul
magic of the melody runs through you like a stream
the notes they play flow through your head like a dream
like a dream like a dream

I sing this song for the common man for the people in despair
I bring my song into the world and I sing it everywhere
the simple truth lies waiting here for everyone to share
so hold on and I will take you there
hold on and I will take you there

hold on hold on to your dreams
hold on even though it seems
everyone around you has their little schemes
listen to your heart and hold on to your dreams

can’t you feel the magic feel it everywhere
can’t you hear the music there’s something in the air
there’s a celebration deep within a song
celebrate this feeling you know it can’t be wrong

Robert Lamm original uncut piano solo version

… the much much better version btw, but due of its obscurity  … rarely heard, if at all … what you hear on the radio is the shortened version starting with horns blaring … editing the best part … the piano intro … and that’s a shame …

Does Anybody Really Know What Time It Is?

ok ok, last one … least for awhile

… I promise!! As if I have to even begin to apologize/explain myself to y’all … yet here I am. Bear with me gang, your loyalty will be rewarded. Been on a music diggin’ kick lately (can ya tell, lol?) , other blog posts haven’t been there recently for a variety of reasons, and if I ain’t happy, ain’t pushing Publish … lots of trash-tossing lately folks.. Heard this today on my Psychedelic Sunday with Andy Frost … GREAT GREAT song by Three Dog Night … and with Christmas and the holidays upon us … and the song’s feelgoodfestiveness felt throughout … figured one more for the road … as it were, wouldn’t hurt. So please listen and enjoy (btw, Happy Holidays y’all). No need to worry, concern your pretty little heads with what appears to be a danistrulytheman absence … ’cause I’m sayin’ it ain’t so … will be back with a vengeance, BIGGER and better than ever … with plenty of verbal assaults strategically strewn about, lol. Ya can’t keep a good man down …

slipping away sitting on a pillow. dress up tonight why be lonely … celebrate celebrate dance to the music
