Sunday Serenade: Talk About an Ear Worm

I have just recently watched HBO's Season 1 and 2 of Treme back to back. Now I'm keeping up with Season 3 as it airs and let me tell you, the Treme theme song is certainly one of the best ear worm songs ever. I wake up with it in my head! Here's a version of John Boutte performing his song in LA.

Sunday Serenade: No Stasis, No Way

David Bowie rocking it out in 1973 with Changes. Today we really can see the change of seasons here in the mid-Atlantic and fall is gorgeous.

Sunday Serenade: Cause It's Good

This is so not my mood but I like it anyway. Just a great song, and artist. Enjoy!

Sunday Serenade: Maybe Next Month

I don't know that the season will really hit til October with our increasingly warm weather. When it does, this sounds like a good place to be. Thanks Sarah! I hope I'll get there.

Sunday Serenade: You Had to be There

If you were there in the  60s and 70s, this will bring a smile to your face. Classic, just classic Harry Nilsson. If you weren't there, ask your parents. ;)

Sunday Serenade: A Specific Dog Day Afternoon

The New York City of yore. 1975. Classic Elton.

Sunday Serenade: Not at Your Local Beach

Summer really calls for beach time, but for me these days, I'll wait til it gets cooler. Much cooler. But when I was young, the Beach Boys really epitomized what summer sounded like. I never saw them LOOK like this though but I guess they did what the agents wanted. Enjoy a video from a really earlier time.

Sunday Serenade: Just for You and Your Town

I don't know what show this one was from but it was definitely waaay back. 1966 to be precise. Check out those long long sideburns. While the clothes are familiar, I seriously don't remember those sideburns. I suspect I just put them out of my mind!

Here's hoping you are having a slightly cooler time in the dog days of August. But enjoy those nights!

Sunday Serenade: Talk about hot!

Sunday Serenade: Yes, Dorothy, This is Kansas

Since I'm going to a picnic this afternoon, I'll show one of the most famous scenes from another "Picnic". This is the 1955 movie with Kim Novak and William Holden.  Romantic and sexy, especially for that era.

 "Moonglow" by Morris Stoloff.

Sunday Serenade: Our Recent Welcome Weather

Sunday Serenade: A Stageful of Talent

You have Joe Satriani, Sammy Hagar and the Doobie Brothers...all on one stage.



I hope your holiday weekend is as joyful! Rock on...

Sunday Serenade: Mellow Mellow Mellow

Back home after a week dog sitting, it''s so nice to be home. Steely Dan and some nice visuals to go along side.

Sunday Serenade: I crossed the water

Well, not the big water as we on the east coast of the US call the Atlantic, but the water between Maryland and Virginia. I'm spending a week dog-sitting with an old dear dog. Very low maintenance week. However, he looks a lot better than the Stones did back in the 70s!

Sunday Serendade: June, no not the month!

Well it is June to be sure, but there's one singer named June who was quite a woman. June Carter Cash. Take a listen to her singing with her husband Johnny Cash. I never saw them perform but I bet it was something!

Sunday Serenade: Oh Melina...

This weekend is the annual Greek Festival in our town. As seems traditional, one night tends to have a tremendous rain, and while we didn't plan to go Friday night, the weather was true to course. Potential tornado for a lot of the afternoon and evening, and then a real downpour at night.

So for their final day this year, maybe rain will be "Never on Sunday".

Sunday Serenade: Zone Out

This was one of my most favorite tracks back in the day. I only had it on a cassette tape which of course got played out. There was something about the  opening section that used to make me cry. In any case, ignore the video ...just close your eyes and listen.

Sunday Serenade: Hello Christopher!

Since we'll be in his hometown soon I thought this would be appropriate.

Sunday Serenade: How's Your Sunday?

I hope your Sunday morning didn't have to start with a beer but even if it did, listening to Johnny Cash can sure lift a body up. Maybe just knowing you aren't the only one feeling alone. I don't feel alone this morning but it's chilly and rainy and still kind of has that general mood about it.

On this version, Johnny has a great partner, Kris Kristofferson. Have a listen and then go get yourself a mess of fried chicken! Happy Sunday!

Sunday Serenade: Long Distance Call

This song and video is for my #2 son who just moved to Phoenix and used to live in Paris. It all seemed to fit.
