John Lennon: 1940-1980–Thirty Years Later

ck — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 01:58:49 +0000

This is another John Lennon tribute post; a kind of sequel to the one I did to commemorate what would’ve been his 70th Birthday. Click the link for my favourite song, “Working Class Hero” and a rare accoustic version of “Imagine”.

I was listening to folks talk at work, in and around town . . . → Read More: John Lennon: 1940-1980–Thirty Years Later

An Episode From An Early 1970s Norman Lear Classic-Saturday Nite

ck — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 03:11:55 +0000

This would be more for Logan’s benefit as Maude came out before he was born. The late Bea Arthur was probably better as Maude than she was as Golden Girls‘ Dorothy Zbornak. As with any show done by Norman Lear in the early ’70s, Maude, a spin off from the classic, All in . . . → Read More: An Episode From An Early 1970s Norman Lear Classic-Saturday Nite

Rogue Reggae-Bob Marley and Peter Tosh-Saturday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:55:02 +0000

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted an edition of nostalgia. Not really sure why, perhaps I’m getting lazy. Summer does that to one.

After what happened to Brunaud Moise earlier this week, getting banned at Laronde, a ‘family values’ Six Flags owned amusement park in Montreal, for sporting a Bob Marley t-shirt emblazoned . . . → Read More: Rogue Reggae-Bob Marley and Peter Tosh-Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Sixties With a Spot of Tea-British Invasion–Saturday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sun, 09 May 2010 02:06:59 +0000

Following this rather interesting debacle of an election result in Britain last Thursday night, I thought it fitting to do tonight’s edition of Saturday Nite Nostalgia with the British Invasion; a rock n’ roll movement that exclusively belonged to the Americans until the mid-1960s.

Officially, The Beatles kicked it off on February 7, . . . → Read More: Sixties With a Spot of Tea-British Invasion–Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Jimmy Page–The Early Years & The Yardbirds–Saturday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 01:44:22 +0000

Jimmy Page is considered to be one of the most influential guitarists of all time. He’s right up there with greats like Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix.

He is best known for his work as lead guitarist for Led Zeppelin, and The Yardbirds in the 60s where both Clapton and Beck . . . → Read More: Jimmy Page–The Early Years & The Yardbirds–Saturday Nite Nostalgia

SSM Musical Selections to Commemorate Mr. & Mrs. Disfunctional…Saturday Nite Nostalgia–On Friday!

ck — Sat, 10 Apr 2010 02:12:32 +0000

I would ordinarily do nostalgia on Saturdays and who knows? I just may do another one tomorrow as I had planned another Janis Joplin evening with some more stories and songs about the Pearl, herself.

Funny how best laid plans go to pot. I was going to post as to why Iggy’s screaming . . . → Read More: SSM Musical Selections to Commemorate Mr. & Mrs. Disfunctional…Saturday Nite Nostalgia–On Friday!

Anyone Remember Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett? Saturday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 02:20:39 +0000

I was looking for some old Eric Clapton classics on Youtube for a future Clapton tribute for Saturday Nite Nostalgia and came across a few videos of Delaney and Bonnie and Friends. I was thinking to myself, unless one is a baby boomer and/or someone who followed Eric Clapton and/or others such as . . . → Read More: Anyone Remember Delaney and Bonnie Bramlett?

Happy St-Paddy’s Day–From Sister Sage’s Musings

ck — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:59:29 +0000

Funny how I always consider the Sunday when the St-Paddy’s day parade is held here in Montreal. Yes, I spent the afternoon getting soaked.

However, today is the official day, so I shall play a couple of oldies here. Balbulican over at Stageleft has commemorated the occasion with some good ol’ Irish music, . . . → Read More: Happy St-Paddy’s Day–From Sister Sage’s Musings

Saturday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sun, 21 Feb 2010 02:34:32 +0000

It is rare I do both a Saturday Nite Nostalgia and a Saturday Nite Funnies on the same nite. In fact, this is the only time I’ve don this.

Given that rumour of Gordon Lightfoot’s ‘death’ was proven shortly afterward to be false and all the drama that came about . All this . . . → Read More: Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Saturday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 23:38:58 +0000

This evening, a treat for the baby boomers and perhaps some gen-xers raised on the best of the psychedelic ’60s.

Those who are Gen-Y; it may take getting used to, given what is available to you these days, but I hope you like it.

Yes, it’s The Jefferson Airplane, and not their big . . . → Read More: Saturday Nite Nostalgia

Friday Nite Nostalgia

ck — Sat, 09 Jan 2010 03:25:50 +0000

I know, usually reserved for Saturdays, but, I’m still working on a piece which will only be published tomorrow. So, what the hell! Perhaps tomorrow I can have comedy here.

Bon Jovi is probably one of perhaps very few bands past 1980 that I like and whatever I like past 1980, I can . . . → Read More: Friday Nite Nostalgia
