BTW, I have missed this thread so much! I go to a local grocery store that plays oldies on their system. I think I mentioned that before. Every time I go in, I have been tearing up! That's how much I have missed it. Music feeds my soul. Always has. I just wish I could sing!

 

[Simon1]

Ha ha ha ! Sis, you still have a sense of humor

 

[WannaDig3687]

Lol. Laughter is the best medicine.


How's the book coming along?

Laughter and Music is my therapy. It wasn't until I started posting on your site here that I realized a part of me was missing , so thanks for that "prod" you gave me on the RCT.

Before his "I Can't Drive 55" solo career and Van Halen 2.0 hits, Sammy Hagar was a band member with a California group called Montrose.


Ronnie Montrose began as a session musician with the likes of Van Morrison and the Edgar Winter Group. Ronnie Montrose decided to form his own band in 1973. Enlisting the help of fellow session pros Bill Church (bass), Denny Carmassi (drums), and a talented up-and-coming California singer named Sammy Hagar, Montrose soon released their eponymous first album in November of that year. Although it never broke the Billboard Top 100, Montrose eventually went platinum. Not surprising, later Hagar and Montrose had a falling out and Hagar left the band.

I always like Sammy Hagar. I was so excited when he became the lead singer for Van Halen. But, alas, although good, it was not the Van Halen sound. I learned about the Red Rocker being a part of Montrose a few years ago when he appeared on American Restoration. I can"t find the episode. He seemed like a really great guy.

I found this song. I thought it was appropriate considering the fly by in the sky last night.

An obscure song

"obscure" was a good word to describe it. Now this oldie about a jug is clear.

I kinda remember seeing that episode of American Restoration too. I tried looking for it and only could come up with this for now.

 

[WannaDig3687]

Another obscure song
Fool, Fool, Fool by Ray Brown and The Whispers in 1965

That reminded me of one of my favorites. I don't think it's been posted, either.




I have 5 grandikds, 4 boys and one girl. I have sang my own version of this one to each one to rock them to sleep. The boys loved it. That little girl though, she wants no part of being rocked to sleep. She is one spitfire, let me tell you!

Yeah, it was the rum dispenser or Rumerator for the Tiki Bar.

We would watch that show, and I couldn't help but wish we were closer. I have a 1935 Magic Chef stove that I would love restored, It's in pretty good condition and I absolutely love it! Even if I could get it converted to use outside while we're BBQ-ing so I wouldn't have to run back and forth to the house, would be great. Just not in the cards, I guess. It weighs a ton. Had to relocate it from the old house to the new house with a tractor. So, it sits on the barn porch covered up with a vintage lawn furniture cover over it. pbftttt.

This was the finale of the Chet Atkins Musicians Day Festival in Nashville April 5, 2000 at the Ryman Auditorium.

I love it! That is a great sound! Have you ever been to the Ryman? Very cool place. They have tours and displays and history of the place. And you can get your pic taken on stage with props to look like you are singing there. LOL! We did that and tried to tell people that we got to play the Ryman. ahh, they didn't buy it.
