Five4Friday - 12/5/2014

This week's Five4Friday begins with JJ Grey And Mofro reminding us to preserve
our natural resources with this live version of "Lochloosa" from JJ's live effort "Brighter Days".

In memory of Faces and Small Faces keyboardist Ian McLagan, who passed away this week, 1967's "Itchycoo Park" is next. In 1969 when lead singer/guitarist Steve Marriott left to form Humble Pie, the remaining members changed their name to the Faces when Rod Stewart and Ronnie Wood joined the group.

Grace Potter and The Nocturnals give a rocking beat to Beyonce's "Why Don't You Love Me"... Beyonce' never sounded so good.

Also this week, we lost saxophonist Bobby Keys, who played on classic sessions with The Rolling Stones, Faces, Humble Pie, John Lennon, George Harrison and many more. The Rolling Stones "All Down The Line" from their landmark recording "Exile on Main St." is this week's 4th track.

Finally, David Sanborn's 1992 cover of Joe Cuba's 1966 hit "Bang Bang", which sounds a lot like a Latin groove Dave Matthews Band gets into during live versions of their track "Warehouse". Just try not to dance to this song. - Salud!

New Woodside Lounge

Opened up the new Woodside Lounge yesterday. For those of you who have visited in the past, this room is at the front of the house but many times went unnoticed by visitors as it was closed off and used as storage. The new Woodside Lounge has its own TV, even though it's around the corner from the theater room. It just goes without saying, all lounges must have a TV for sporting events. I believe it's in the building code. Music is served up from the stereo system currently residing in the dining room, but I'm thinking of moving it to the Lounge. Today I went streakin'! Remember, use that sunblock out there. - Salud!

Summer Mix 2007

I probably should give this over the weekend to think about it, because there are three songs not included in this year's Summer Mix that I've been flip-flopping over. The mix just seems very tight and I can't fit the songs in without repeating the "essence," "groove" or beat of another song. I think the mixes for me work best when they flow and take you from one place to another musically without beating you over the head with the same style. Another thing I like to do with the Summer Mix is incorporate the old alongside the new. I hate to put two old songs back to back, or should I say two songs from the same era back to back. Now as you look at my mix you'll see some old songs next to other old songs. I guess it's not a hard and fast rule for me, but I try to at least jump a decade between two old songs. Like last year I kept the sound effects to a minimum, using a mix I created of beach sounds for the opening and a crickets sound effect for ...
