Crying In The Night- Buckingham Nicks
The last SOTW collection had two songs with the word "Tears" in the title. I had started compiling songs about crying for a future mix and aborted the idea. Here's one more from that almost mix.

Hold On To Your Hat- Rolling Stones
Pulled "Steel Wheels" out for a spin and a ticket stub from that tour fell out of the sleeve. 23rd row at Shea Stadium cost $28 in 1989, which is about $7 less than what parking costs now. BBJ mentioned not knowing a single note from this fine record, so I suggested he listen to this rocker.

Where The Good Times Are- Beverley
This past Record Store Day saw the release of some unreleased Beverley Martyn sessions from 1966-1967, that featured Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones and Nicky Hopkins. It's a great set of music that I highly recommend. This is the lead track, which might have been the only track that was released at the time.

That's The Way Of The World- Earth, Wind & Fire
A deep conversation with a friend about people, family and friends and the disappointment that comes with the territory, found me saying "That's The Way Of The World" about the whole damn thing. So, I felt like playing this song.

She's Not Mine Anymore- Robert Gordon
I'm playing "Red Hot" as part of a 20 song set for a private party coming up, and I thought about this Marshall Crenshaw penned track that sounds like nothing else by Robert Gordon.

Time Table- Genesis
I'm reading Phil Collins memoir, "Not Dead Yet." Laugh if you must. I am a Genesis fan and Collins is one of the greatest drummers who has ever sat behind a kit. The book is lousy, so far, but at least I get to listen to the music he mentions. This is a great track from "Foxtrot."

Success- Iggy Pop
"Here comes my Chinese rug."  Genius.

Thankful for every post, every mix, and for the continued existence of this blog. I love the thought that goes into it, and the sheer love of music that makes it special. Keep making this depraved, debased, unkind, unworthy thing we call the internet a little better every day, Sal.
Todd Bless You.

@Zippy has eloquently expressed what many believe - that this is one of the finest places to spend time. Thanks, Sal!

Sunday night at 9:28 and the Stones are belting out Hold On to Your Hat. Crikey! Can't remember the last time I took that album off the shelves. So thanks for that & the other unzipped tunes, good stuff. Cheers!

I recently saw Robert Gordon in New Haven at Cafe Nine.He was with Chris Spedding and they put on a great show to a sold out crowd. New Haven pizza and Robert Gordon = a perfect night!
