I was under the impression that once a thread reached a certain point.....and we're well beyond it....that a "bump" on a song was tantamount to somebody dropping a quarter in the jukebox.


No disrespect intended here....an honest question.

Do you actually expect me to go through 68 pages looking for a song?

That may well be the case but one of the advantages of taking the slow boat as I am is that I run across songs I like and listen to them. For example, as I type this I am listening to "Fantasy" by Earth, Wind, and Fire posted in 03/11 by...you.

FDaY, where I live I am a fortunate lad. Recently we had a major shakeup of AM radio stations and one of the stations which changed went from all sports to "Classical Country".  And I mean "classical". They go way back and play a host of old tunes and artists.

One thing that is great about this station is that it has no annoying announcers and few commercials. It's like what FM was years ago. So when I get tired of today's stuff (usually quickly) and tired of listening to today's problems on talk radio, I just hit the button for this station and enjoy pure, unspoiled C&W with little or no interruptions.

Yeehaw!

Great idea, Cincy.  I'm going to search I Heart Radio to see if I can find one online.  In the meantime, here's one from a man who had a great positive effect on me personally years ago:

Someone already posted one version of this great hymn but I shall add another. This one contains bagpipes and beautiful pictures of the Scottish countryside.

Aye.

The Juke Box II

I hope no one considers me presumptious for starting a new music thread but as long ago as July, 2012, it was recommended this be done as the original thread was getting harder and harder to load. The thread hasn't been quite as active since then but perhaps a new one will gin up some renewed interest.

Now if I can just get one of our kind mods to pin this we will be all set to go.

I want to dedicate this to all you women and the really clever ways in which you punish the men in your life when they wrong you, especially when they cheat. You ladies can be so devilish and creative.

I didn't see this group represented on the other thread but I haven't quite finished working through it (it's length being another reason to start a new thread). In any case, I can dig it, can you dig it?

Another group not found on on thread 1 (yet). Silly video, lovely song. That lead female vocalist has a great voice.

Doo wop time. I saw "Earth Angel" and "Sh-boom" on 1 but not this gem. Sorry to say, no video.

God I miss the old thread. May it rest in peace. I miss you Jukebox, the way you used to be, before all this 'modernization' happened. I will always be with you Jukebox. Nothing can ever replace what you were to me. Goodbye,....Rosebud...

This song did not begin the rock and roll revolution but it was there near the beginning. Today they make a big deal about it being included in "American Graffiti", but its early popularity was in part due to its inclusion in the opening credits of "Blackboard Jungle" (1955) for which it established a hard driving, raucous pattern.

I have time to squeeze in one more before The Speech. I saw this name mentioned many times on 1 but couldn't find any of his music, or I overlooked it. In any case here is one of his best.

I seemed to notice that several times Mystery commented her mother would not allow this or that song in their home. Thus Mystery I dedicate this one to your mom.
