More birthdays,

Where does one begin with this guy, none other than David Crosby:

Byrds, CSN (& Y), some solo work and would one be correct to say? Kind of a radical too.

Dash Crofts of Seals and Crofts;

1896, Born on this day, Leon Theremin, Russian inventor. Most famous for his invention of the theremin, one of the first electronic musical instruments. He first performed the theremin with the New York Philharmonic in 1928. He died on 3rd November 1993.

It doesn't seem as obscure as one might think.  Looks like Jimmy Page and a number of others have played this instrument. You learn something new every day.

And Bobby Helms, "Jingle Bell Rock" and this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfvMizNGUv8

And a number of others were born on this day in music history.

We often get a number of Dutch artists mentioned, so one of these  websites may originate from somewhere over in Europe.

Elvis Week Continues:

Elvis countdown, this is Elvis week at Graceland.

Elvis set to be number one on the British CD charts with a triple album of greatest hits out.
http://www.inquisitr.com/4432220/elvis-presley-set-to-top-music-charts-on-40th-anniversary-of-his-death/

This is the Memphis newspaper by the way below:
http://www.commercialappeal.com/story/entertainment/people/elvis-presley/2017/08/14/elvis-presleys-songs-ranking-kings-40-best-hits/417692001/

Quote
1. “That’s All Right” (1954)
2. “Mystery Train” (1955)
3. “Hound Dog” (1956)
4. “Don’t Be Cruel” (1956)
5. “Heartbreak Hotel” (1956)
6. “Suspicious Minds” (1969)
7. “Good Rockin’ Tonight” (1954)
8. “Blue Moon of Kentucky” (1954)
9. “Blue Moon” (1956)
10. “Stranger in My Own Hometown” (1969)


Of course, a best Elvis songs list is highly subjective but these folks put one together.  Full list is at the link.  I don't agree with that list much but they are probably much better informed than I am. I like a few songs because they are catchy.

Lots of Elvis articles out there.

Actually a bit similar to the Glen Campbell version, recorded a year or two later.
Pretty big if Johnny Rivers first recorded it. Good performer.

Yes, I might prefer Chuck Berry's original but Johnny's version is very good too.

   Sometimes, more not than often, I find myself missing the 80's, musically, usually I'm under the influence of something other than Plavix and Lisinopril.

Heard this coming home tonight, very proper:

I know some interesting Hollies history but for tonight, that should do. I got the impression that the radio station was playing some more "unifying" type of music. Great song.

  Carrie Anne was great too @EasyAce my 3rd best Hollies hit, we're severely dating ourselves, but still seem younger (in heart, musically) than most.  :beer:
   Feel a Tull bug coming on after this Traffic, must have been the Flute.

Come in
Well, well, well, look who's here
I haven't seen you in many a year

If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
baked a cake, baked a cake
If I knew you were comin' I'd've baked a cake
Howd-ya do, howd-ya do, howd-ya do
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
Grandest band in the land
Had you dropped me a letter, I'd a-hired a band
And spread the welcome mat for you
Oh, I don't know where you came from
'cause I don't know where you've been
But it really doesn't matter
Grab a chair and fill your platter
And dig, dig, dig right in

Elvis week continues!
Post your songs in care of ...
