Rock and Roll Baby!!

I LOVE music!! We haven't had TV for weeks and I don't miss it one bit. We hooked up the stereo and I get into my unpacking groove.

I love all kinds of music. I enjoy the old school country music- Waylon, Willie, Johnny, Merle, Conway, etc.  I also listen quite a bit to contemporary Christian music. Especially since Todd is the drummer for our church worship band. 

If I had to choose though, I would have to say that Rock n Roll has my heart.  

Todd and I both love to see live music and we go to many concerts. It's so great to be there and hear a band live and rock out with other fellow fans.  I love all the generations of rock, from the 60's on up to today.  

Do you listen to rock? I know many of you do.  Do you have a favorite band? 

Its only Rock n Roll- Rolling Stones

Shook me all night long- ACDC

Little Suzi- Tesla

I love Rock n ROll- Joan Jett

Have a great day yall!!

Edgar Allan Poe to Rock n Roll

Good morning and Happy Wednesday Yall!!!   I am already feeling so much better after 2 days of meds. Now i just have the yucky cough but i have pills for that too.  yay!
So when i was a kid (1976- i was 8), my mom had an album of Alan Parsons Project and the name of the album was Project Tales of Mystery and Imagination Edgar Allan Poe.  The album was so cool because it was like a book and it had pictures with the lyrics.   Truth is by hearing EAP's poems put to music, i became a young fan of Poe and remain a huge fan of his work today.
Some of the songs were instrumental and were long songs like 16 bminutes long on the B side of the album.  One of the songs made it to radio and got lots of air time.
that song was (The System of) Doctor Tarr and Professor Fether 
Here it is

My favorite is The Raven .  I love the tempo being slow and then fast and then slow.  How cool is it to sing the chorus Nevermore Nevermore Nevermore Never!!
Here it is :

 I will share with yall a few more songs later but i gotta run for now.   Are any of you familiar with this album and the songs? What did you think about them? I was a weird kid what can i say! My parents were hippies.

A week from today i will be heading to South Dakota and into cooler weather. Yippee!  Have a great day my friends.

R for Rock n Roll

I love music- i'm kinda obsessed with music- I have to listen to music everyday!!

Here are some songs from bands starting with R:

Rolling Stones.  I've seen them 3 times already in concert and they were amazing. They are actually coming back to Dallas in June and Todd cant decide if he wants to go or not. 

 

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Rob Thomas (lead singer of Matchbox Twenty and solo artist)

R.E.M

 The Ramones

There are so many like REO Speedwagon, Rise Against, Rob Zombie but yall get the idea.
I'm closing with 2 more:

Todd's favorite band ever  RUSH. He's seen them in concert countless times and has all their music.  I saw them a few years ago for the first time in Houston.

and lastly I cant NOT mention Robert Plant ( lead singer of Led Zeppelin).  He's too cool!

 

Some of the songs are kinda mellow but their rock all the same.

Have a wonderful day!!
