MUSIC: "Sultans Of Swing" by Dire Straits

Super Groovy Groove

A little hot tune to take us into the weekend

A song about musicians 

who play for the love of Music

"It ain't about fancy guitars, record deals, 

insane soloing, pleasin' the ladies; 

it's about feeling the music 

and giving it all your heart and soul."

(YouTube Comment)

Mark Knopfler is one of the great guitarists of our time

Sit back and enjoy his music

*Lyrics* 

"You get a shiver in the dark, 

It's a raining in the park but meantime-

South of the river you stop and you hold everything

A band is blowing Dixie, double four time

You feel alright when you hear the music ring

Well now you step inside but you don't see too many faces

Coming in out of the rain they hear the jazz go down

Competition in other places

Uh but the horns they blowin' that sound

Way on downsouth

Way on downsouth

London town

Check out guitar george, he knows-all the chords

Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make them cry or sing

They said an old guitar is all, he can afford

When he gets up under the lights to play his thing

And Harry doesn't mind, if he doesn't, make the scene

He's got a daytime job, he's doing alright

He can play the honky tonk like anything

Savin' it up, for Friday night

With the Sultans

We're the Sultans of Swing

Then a crowd a young boys they're a foolin' around in the corner

Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles

They don't give a damn about any trumpet playin' band

It ain't what they call rock and roll

Then the Sultans

Yeah the Sultans they play creole, creole

And then the man he steps right up to the microphone

And says at last just as the time bell rings

Goodnight, now it's time to go home

And he makes it fast with one more thing

We are the Sultans

We are the Sultans of Swing"

MUSIC: "Ice Cream Man" by Van Halen

One of the most creative band logos EVER!

  

 BALLS TO THE WALL

Let's Wake This Place The Phuck UP!

:  )

The music of Van Halen was the sound of my spirit

In the late 70s and early 80s

And still

It resounds deeply in my spirit today

I get so excited when I listen

To one of the greatest Hard Rock Bands of all time

(just my opinion - and I'm right : )

Brings back fond memories from when I first 

Ventured out on my own into life as a young adult

And the music of Van Halen was my Soundtrack

The Van Halen I MOST LOVED

Was from 1974 - 1985

from left to right: David Lee Roth, Alex Van Halen, Eddie Van Halen, Michael Anthony

Eddie Van Halen

One of the great guitarists of all time

David Lee Roth

One of the great Sexually Raw Showmen

Alex Van Halen

Great Drummer Putting down the beats

Michael Anthony

Great Bassist Laying down the bass

They had a special combination of talents

They were different from all the rest

Virtuosity, Musical Artistry, Energy and the Experience

Really set them a part

One of the things I admired about them

Was that on every album

(And YES - I have them all)

They'd have one song that was so different 
from what you would expect from a Hard Rock band

Here's one of my favorites of those "different" songs

It is from their first album

In it you can hear the influence of Blues on Rock n Roll
Just sit back and listen to Eddie Van Halen's virtuosity
Truly one of the great musicians of our time

I also Love the sexual connotations of this song

And David Lee Roth was so perfect at performing it

He could make any song so deliciously sexy

: )

Van Halen

"Ice Cream Man"

Note the amazing Eddie Van Halen 
on lead guitar at the 1:45 minute mark

Try "air guitaring" that!!!

Careful - you might break something

And again

Listen to how Eddie's guitar Sings

Back and Forth with David Lee at the 2:38 minute mark

I wish y'all could see me air guitar the music of Van Halen
:  )
  
This is absolutely PHUCKING PHANTASTIC!!!!

(I use explicit language when I get super excited

It's the kid in me - I can't help it! - it's fucking great!)
