Happy

Song Lyric Sunday: Poison, Wine, Ho Hey

This week the theme for Song Lyric Sunday, as set out by Jim in Going Unplugged, is to play an acoustic rock song. Taking my definition of acoustic instruments to mean anything that existed before electricity, I’m playing you two songs today that I absolutely love, which are markedly different in nature and style. I could have gone for many of the ‘unplugged’ variety, where rock songs are…

Mixed Music Bag and Song Lyric Sunday

TUNAGE ARTICLE After reading some music posts this morning, I realized I have the opportunity to combine Glyn’s and Jim’s challenges. Let’s get at it… Here is my response to Glyn’s Mixed Music Bag In 1998, I was on assignment in Wisconsin, and during my downtime, I attended several music festivals. One night, the fellows and I were captured by a funky bassline. We followed the sound, expecting…

Hey Jude

“Hey Jude” is a ballad Paul McCartney wrote for John Lennon’s son, Julian. It was a reminder for him to open up his heart and let the blended family grow. The Beatles’ ballad was originally titled “Hey Jules” to more directly address Julian, but McCartney later changed the song to “Hey Jude” to fit the sonic direction. This 1968 classic became a number-one hit on the US Billboard Hot 100 for nine…

Song Lyric Sunday: Two Bites of An Apple

For this week, Jim is inviting us to play something ‘recorded at Apple Records.’ You can see what he says in his post here. Apple Records is a record label founded by the Beatles in 1968 as a division of Apple Corps Ltd. which was initially intended as a creative outlet for the Beatles, both as a group and individually. They expanded this idea to include a selection of other artists that they had…

Song Lyric Sunday - King Diamond's Abigail

TUNAGE – SLS This post has been over 30 years in the making. Let me explain with a little back story. So, in 1987, a guy I knew in high school suggested three albums. Over a period of several months, this guy and I had drunken conversations about heavy metal. During this time, I knew hardly anything about the genre beyond the typical bands everyone listened to at the time, Van Halen, Motley…

I'm over you now, I'm at home in the clouds,

and towering over your head
