Classic Rock YES! ( and others..) What are you listening to right now?

[Carl Kuck]

What? No Moody Blues? I'll fix that...


Cheryl and I got to see them at the Del Mar Fair a couple of years ago... Awesome! (IIRC, "Ride My See-Saw" was used in the soundtrack of a surf movie to great effect.)

That brings back some memories, don't have time to say more because I have to "Go Now"

Are you sure you shouldn't stay now?

Moodys deserve at least a whole album.


I only saw them once in 1974 but they were great! The electric light Orchestra opened.

I've seen them twice. Jones Beach mid 80s.. A couple years ago at the community theater up the street.

Listen to that album and On the Threshold of a Dream very often when skiing. Love all old Moody Blues albums 1967-1972.

Need an SRV fix? Absolute BEAST mode here, hard to believe he's been gone almost 30 years now:

RIP Robert Hunter of the Grateful Dead. I'm not that knowledgeable about the Dead, but enjoy them as a casual listener. Was he the next most important member after Jerry Garcia?
Had a college roommate that played the Working Man's Dead album incessantly when it first came out. Love this tune from it, Robert Hunter lyricist:
(Oops, just read that Hunter never really performed much with the band, strictly lyricist for a number of great tunes.)

The Rolling Stones track One Hit (To The Body) on their 1986 Dirty Works album, arguably at the peak of their careers. The closest Jagger then age 43 comes to actually dancing on any of their commercial music videos. In the video his dancing is somewhat hidden by doing so with momentary clips. On my current MP3 player most played list, it is the third song and is one I'll bump ski to.

A month ago I did attend their concert here at Levi Stadium and had a terrific time. They opened with Jumpin' Jack Flash with Jagger showing why he is still considered the best dancer of any classic rock front men.

I started up Pandora to listen to some music while I did PT and the last thing I heard was apparently Warren Zevon - Excitable Boy. Then in juxtaposition, I started with Warren - Life'll Kill Ya.

There is an unsung rockabilly guitar god from my native Virginia that I really enjoy listening to from time to time. His name is Cliff Gallup (1930-1988). He's primarily known for a rather small catalog of 35 tunes he played lead guitar on during a short recording career with Gene Vincent and the Blue Caps in 1956 and 1957.
The song Catman features some of his stunning early rockabilly guitar work. The accompanying video features a stunning young pin-up gal:
