    Often when working on the computer I put on Nitty Gritty Dirt Band’s: 'Will The Circle Be Unbroken” album,
    and when this number comes up, inevitably lean back and enjoy…

    It is Wednesday and my day off and that means a habit I acquired some three decades ago I can continue today due to archives now. So I am listening to a set of hits from 1979 on Ten at Ten. See what you remember? Note "clear and present danger" wasn't used first by Tom Clancy.

    I remember him on Carson…a late night snow day incidence. He was…an acquired taste. Paved the way for Weird Al!

    You certainly have an interesting repertoire

    I'm surprised you missed this one or have you. With a 13 year old son and Filipina wife I can't escape this stuff but I have to say he isn't bad. As for me I am an incredibly smart old man who married a younger Filipina dancer.

    I've always preferred the term 'older man with excellent taste'.

    I'm sorry, they all sound like the Smurfs and they all look like 'Asian' Barbie! I've always had trouble taking any band regardless of nationality etc that came out of the 'Boy/Girl Band manufacturing machine seriously.

    With al lthe music deaths this last 2 weeks this thread has taken a slightly morbid turn, so I thought I'd post something I've been listening to by people who didn't die this week....before getting back to the obits (yep, there's more).

    The Tedeschi/Trucks band is a sort of musical Brady Bunch, but good. Before they married Derek Trucks & Susan Tedeschi were highly respected blues musicians. Trucks, the nephew of Allman Brothers drummer Butch Trucks, formed his own band at age 15 & spent a number of years playing guitar with the Allman Bros as well. Susan Tedeschi is not only a great guitarist, but has a wonderfully soulful voice. In 2001 the couple married, and in 2007 they joined their bands to make one BIG band.

    I saw them live a few years back and they were brilliant. Part way through teh set Tedeschi temporarily lost her voice & left the stage. The band began to jam to fill time. At some point I realized that what they were playing was a Miles Davis tune from his electric period. SO. COOL! I was LOVING it. What blues/soul band suddenly transforms itself into a 70s Miles Davis unit???

    Anyway, they recently recorded a live show where they played the entirety of Derek & the Dominoes Layla & other assorted love songs live. It is great fun. Give it a listen (I think most or all of it is available on youtube).

    Wasn't a country music fan so rarely heard country music in the 70's unless the song could cross over like one from Johnny Cash. So her first song that I heard was Honestly I Love You in 1974 when 20. Actually, for me it was a lot like the bubble gum music at the end of the 60's. Then, as was their habit, the AM stations overplayed the song making me go "not again!" Then Grease came along, which I wouldn't have gone to see, except for Travolta after Saturday Night Fever and before that his stint on Welcome Back Kotter. That was the last I was aware of her since my musical tastes were far removed from her style. May she rest in peace...
