My musical interests are all over the place, lately though, I’ve been all about the classic rock. This was the music of my childhood. Although I was a child of the 80s we sat in the park drinking beer and throwing a frisbee or playing hacky sack listening to the music of the 60s and 70s. IMHO it was a free'r more carefree time in America.
The Chamber’s Brothers – Time Has Come Today
Not only does this music bring back a certain nostalgia of better days in America, but I also think a lot of it still resonates with modern day events.
Barry McGuire – Eve Of Destruction
I’ve been getting back into my guitar a lot lately. I haven’t played much in the last 15 years or so. One of my favorite guitarists of all time has to be Jimi Hendrix.
Jimi Hendrix – If 6 was 9
One of the best concerts I seen growing up was Joe Walsh playing at Melody Fair. It was a small venue outside of Niagara Falls NY. The venue was circular and the stage rotated so basically everyone had a great seat. Joe Walsh came out so drunk you couldn’t even understand him when he talked and he had to sit on a bar stool so he didn't fall over, but man when he picked up that guitar he didn’t miss a note and his singing voice was incredible. About 3 songs in he had to make them stop the rotating stage because he thought he was going to puke or fall off his bar stool. So after every couple of songs they would rotate the stage a quarter turn. It really was a great time though!
I’ll leave you with some live footage of Joe Walsh. This song kind of sums up how I’m feeling each time I scroll through my Twitter feed or turn on the news. We are living through some incredibly crazy times, and I think things are just going to get crazier.
Joe Walsh – Turn To Stone
Well hope you enjoyed this music Monday post. I’ve been posting classic rock for the last two weeks now. Next week, I’ll try and change things up a bit with a different genre. Wishing you all a great week ahead.
