Here’s a playlist filled with some of my favorite songs from the late 60s and early 70s.
It’s a Lovely Day playlist track album
The playlist opens with two songs from The Youngbloods. First, “It’s a Lovely Day” a song that always puts me in a good mood. While I usually just drift along with the second song “Ride the Wind”.
I go way back with Wes Montgomery. I discovered Wes Montgomery in the late 1960s around the time he was crossing over to “mainstream” music: Actually, I don’t know if seeing him on the Hollywood Palace had anything to do with my discovering Wes. Most likely I already already about him because of “Windy”.
Just about every week I visit the Roots Music Report to check out new music. Like everything associated with this blog over the last few years, I continued to listen to new music. However, I seldom wrote about the music I discovered! Anyway I am going to try change that over the next few months. So hang with me and let’s hope we can find some great music together!
Now that playlists are a major part of this blog I get to do the fun stuff – making the playlist!
I grew up as an only child. And while I had a close knit neighborhood of friends to play with, along with school friends,, at the end of the day you‘re alone. After I created this playlist I realized that may have affected me more than I realize!
This afternoon I made a trip to Walmart and the Cinnaminson Library. I needed to charge my iPhone 7 so I couldn’t pug it into the radio and charge it at the same time, so I brought along my iPod. I always say that I really do need to listen to the older music that I love more. But That would require that I listen to less new stuff which may not be a good thing as I try to present new music here. Anyway today the trip resulted in a short six song 24 minute playlist. The playlist reveals the eclectic nature of my music library.
Yesterday, I posted the first half of my Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed and Something Blue (s)Playlist. You can read about it here. The second half of my playlist starts with “Something Borrowed”. What was borrowed were the songs that comprise the latest release from.Tom Russell. Russell borrowed twelve songs from Ian and Sylvia Tyson for an album aptly titled Play One More: The Songs of Ian and Sylvia. According to his website…..
As we evolve over time, sometimes we need to look back at old favorites, remembering what we liked in the past. Old favorites can always help us move forward in positive directions towards things we know we’ll like.
