since it was 28 years ago today when Harry Chapin died, I think 5 from Harry would be appropriate.

I'll do 5 of his staples

YouTube - Harry Chapin sings CATS IN THE CRADLE Live

YouTube - Harry Chapin W.O.L.D. (WOLD)

YouTube - Harry Chapin - Rockpalast Live 11 (All My Life's a Circle)

YouTube - Harry Chapin, Taxi, the Sequel

thanks for all of the great memories Harry

I think it is appropriate too, aardvarks. Nice selection of not just staples, but stories that repeat regardless of which decade in which they are played.

Thanks for the lessons about life you shared with us Harry. RIP.

Cool Thinking about a Vacation, Concert or Traveling? Some Songs to Help You Decide..

Since it is summer in the US, I decided some vacation, fun concerts and destination songs may be a nice change.

I hope you enjoy.

1. Holiday Road - Lindsey Buckingham (from National Lampoons Vacation).

YouTube - Vacation theme - Holiday Road
2. She’s So High – Tal Bachman –

YouTube - Tal Bachman - She's So High


3. Walking in Memphis – Mark Cohn

YouTube - Marc Cohn - Walking in Memphis - Charlotte 1-17-2008

4. Touch of Grey – Grateful Dead recorded at Shoreline, where I've seen concerts. Shoreline is in the Bay Area and would probably be considered a "home venue" given that they were based out of San Francisco.


YouTube - The Grateful Dead-Touch of Gray-Shoreline Amphitheatre


5. Here Comes the Sun – George Harrison, along with Phil Collins, Ringo Starr, Elton John and Eric Clapton at the Second Annual Prince’s Trust Concert. This is fun to watch.


YouTube - George Harrison Playing Here Comes The Sun

Summerz,

It would be great if all of your rain could go elsewhere. Not sure how to make that happen. So.........I thought I'd give you five songs back that all mention the Sun or Sunshine in their title. Or the song is directly about no rain, rather bright days.

There are a variety of themes explored in these songs. Some may not be appropriate for children or teens to hear. However, they may give you something new to think about with all of your rain.

1. I Can See Clearly Now - - Johnny Nash


YouTube - Johnny Nash-I Can See Clearly Now


2. Sunshine on my Shoulders - - John Denver


YouTube - john denver-sunshine on my shoulder


3. Seasons in the Sun - - The Beach Boys

YouTube - The Beach Boys- Seasons in the Sun


4. It Never Rains in Southern California - - Albert Hammond
YouTube - Albert Hammond - It never rains in Southern California 1973

5. Sundown - - Gordon Lightfoot

YouTube - Gordon Lightfoot 1974 - Sundown


I hope these make you smile, , at least for a while. Besides, the melodies are easy and one can be humming or singing them in no time.

MSR
