I was driving home from Bowling Green, Ohio last Sunday with the music just blaring! I have a 10 CD player in my car. I was wondering what other people listen to when they are cruising. Here's what I had:
1. Gord's Gold II
2. Harmony
3. Supernatural-Santana
4. Shaman - Santana
5. Poets Say-Song of the Lakes (kinda local group)
6. Takin' My Time-Bonnie Raitt (1975)
7. Traveler - Tim O'Brien
8. Seals and Crofts Greatest Hits
9. Alice Cooper Greatest Hits
10. Gene Pitney Greatest Hits, Disc 1

Okay, diversified yes. Love that old stuff. :redface:

I just added a few different ones today, but I'll save that for later.

What are you listening to today???

I have Gord's Gold, Little River Band and Dream Street Rose.

listening to Wilco, chicago 20 Sep 2003

(great show..)

I'm listening to the Miramichi Fiddlers, Dave Mallett's This Town, El McMeen's Dancing (El is an awesome guitarist)and Simon & Garfunkel's Wednesday Morning 3AM.

I have till just now been selecting tracks from a compilation DVD I got for Xmas which is way cool.

The last 2 tracks I put on would be my favs. off it.

The first was " Golden Brown": The Stranglers.
The second was "Epic": Faith No More.

Right now. 1025 AM Sunday 16th Jan. Listening to Mississippi John Hurt, CD 'Today'. Gentle singing superb guitar playing, a fingerpickers dream.
Just a man and a guitar.

I never thought I would admit this in public but ... I am listening to (for the past week) all four vols. of the Rod Stewart 'Great American Songbook'. Fantastic! Never been a Rod S. fan. Am now. :redface:
Also listening to Jools Holland and his Rhythm and Blues Orch. 'Swinging the Blues, Dancing the Ska'.
and a privately arranged Lightfoot compilation of all my fave tracks. This one never fails to lift the glums. :)

I burned a CD with assorted tracks including Judy Collins singing "Early Morning Rain" <g>, "Four Strong Winds," "I Think It's Going to Rain Today," "That's No Way to Say Goodbye," "Someday Soon," Bonnie Raitt singing "Bluebird" and "Give It Up or Let Me Go" and Stevie Ray Vaughan doing "Pride and Joy."

Got a hold of this $10 CD player & $2 Headset to lay in bed at night and listen in the stillness.

Kathy,what else do I listen too? :confused:

Tooooo much! :D That is,way too much to list up here.

Let's just say I have a great many acts,from a great many decades. Plus a scant few from this decade (and I do mean "few". :rolleyes:

I mostly like 70s,80s,folk and whatever appeals to my senses the best.

Felt like listening to an Aussie artist (as big as Gord is here) named John Williamson. He's AWESOME!! I bought a 2-CD selection of his greatest hits. Sydney Steve could tell you more... he's the one who got me interested in him. Check out his website: www.malleeboy.com

Bru - Ihave the DVD of Rod and the great american songbook - "It Had To Be You" - love it!
he's a bit of a dip but he's entertaining!
lol
I'm listening to Rick Fines - Riley Wants his Life Back.
www.rickfines.com
I saw him last night! fabulous-sings BossMan and Ribbon of Darkness at the Tribute Shows...awesome!!

Waiting in the mailbox when we arrived home from South Carolina today: (to fill in some gaps)

Small Faces - First Step
Faces - Long Player
Ron Wood & Ronnie Lane - Mahoney's Last Stand
Rod Stewart - Gasoline Alley
Rod Stewart- Every Picture Tells A Story
Rod Stewart - Never A Dull Moment

There's a thread here if you look closely, LOL.

Bill :)

edit - and of course that's what'll get played for a week and then into the iPod. With plenty of Gord breaks thrown in...

Now all you need is Burton Cummings' "Gordon Lightfoot Does Maggie May" to complete the set, LOL.

I prefer the sctv version of "Gordon Lightfoot sings every song ever sung" :D

The Yard Went on Forever . . . I haven't heard that song in years. I have a small stack of Richard Harris LP's here somewhere. There was some nice stuff on those LP's.

. . . to answer the question: The United Artists Collection, Born to Run, Beneath This Gruff Exterior - John Hiatt.

Gordon Lightfoot -- Don Quixote
Bruce Guthro -- Of Your son
Gordie Sampson -- Stones

Canadian artists, all.

Speaking of SCTV,I also love their parody of Perry Como. Making fun of the fact that he's sooooo mellow and laid back that,he actually puts himself to sleep onstage while sining one of his own songs! :D LOL!

Perry is one of the many 50's acts I have in my collection. ;)

Today . . .

Tennessee Ernie Ford: Hymns - Dbl CD

Tonite . . .

Same-same . . .

Spirit must be fed.

Perhaps even Perry Como's wonderfully restrained performance of Don McClean's "And I Love You So."

I tried Googling for hours yesterday trying to find something online about that SCTV parody of GL singing every song... I give up. Does anyone know where I can see it? (If possible) Oh... and Dubya, you want to know what us Americans are Googling for. There. I've just admitted it.

Oh, there's a new topic. What was the last thing you googled for :D The last thing I googled was "tape and texture" long story. I'm sure George is just rivited by my searches.

Sheryl,

Sir John was kind enough to archive the audio of this commercial parody on his website.

http://www.johnfowles.org.uk/LIGHTFOOT

That's Dave Thomas as the excited announcer and Rick Moranis doing the great impression of GL. Enjoy!

Message I get when I try to play the clips, when I try to download clip I get a similar response.

Crikey! You're absolutely right - the audio clip is gone. I apologize for posting the outdated link.

Sir John - can you help our fellow Corfidians?
