    Speaking of the Who, how about “Getting in Tune’ From ‘Who’s Next’?

    • Jerem69

      That and “Mobile” always worked for me.

        There you go Jeremy, those are my two favorites from a hit packed album.

    Thanks for the Van Morison. My sweet wife forced our son to dance with her until I finished brushing my teeth. He looked truly miserable. Now, that’s romance!

    I thought of a couple of goodies for next week:

    Aerosmith’s “Movin’ Out” or “Seasons of Whither.”

    Supertramp, I like “Rudy” and “School” but they may be too long. Pick something??

    George Thorogood’s “Gearjammer.”

    Beatles’ “Her Majesty.”

    The Tubes’ “White Punks on Dope”

    I’d send links but the tyke’s on our computer and this phone won’t let me do that without reloading this page.

    Rocketh out,
    Jeremy

    • Thom

      ‘Seasons of Wither’ from ‘Get your wings’ is a great tune, but that is my faviorite album from Aerosmith. Also, ‘Lord of the Thighs’, ‘S.O.S.’, Train Kept a Rolling’….the whole thing….

    Nice sounds as usual! Maybe a little Circus Devils for next week? I remain partial to the Sgt. Disco disc(quite some time ago you played “George Took a Shovel” from this) and would like to suggest one of these tracks…
    “French Horn Litigation”
    “Zig Zag”
    “Lance the Boiling Son”
    “In Madonna’s Gazebo”

    Having played Englebert Humperdink, not the composer of light opera, how about something from Englebert Humperdink, the composer of light opera?

    Oh, and thanks for introducing me to Soul Coughing. I now finally know why my cousin’s daughter has such an odd name. I just checked: they named her from that album, though they misspelled it. The album name was taken from Suzanne Vega’s daughter’s name, though they misspelled it. Kind of meta in a way.
