"Ice" by Spirit

Here is a very cool (pun intended)  instrumental by Spirit and this video is very cool too - I hope it doesn't get deleted.  I've included another video just in case.

"So Little Time to Fly" by Spirit

So many great songs by Spirit that I can relate to!

Do you see the reasons why
There's very little time to fly
Find a garden that's green all year

"Walking Happy" by ?

I can't find the version I really like from an old reel-to-reel tape, mostly because I don't even know the artist.  I plan to post the version from the tape sometime and see if someone can identify it.  Until I have time for that I have found another version by Roger McCoy with the Glen Miller Orchestra.

"No Way Out" by Jefferson Starship

My wife was watching Supernatural the other day and Dean named some new kind of monsters "Jefferson Starships" because "they are terrible and you can't kill them".  It did remind me of my favorite Jefferson Starship song so I thought I would post it.

"One Too Many Mornings" by The Association

I always loved this version that was recorded at the University of Utah on April 3rd, 1970.  I saw many, many concerts there back in the 70's.

"If You Ever Leave Me" by B. J. Thomas

I never bought the B. J. Thomas "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" album when it was originally released, I was satisfied with the soundtrack album by Burt Bacharach.  Many years later, I can't remember how, I discovered three gems on it that have remained some of my favorite B. J. Thomas tracks.

"Kentucky Rain" by Elvis Presley

One of my favorite Elvis Presley songs.  Interesting that it was only released as a single until the 50 Gold Hits album (see the "Vinyl" video description).

"Dancing on the Ceiling" by Guy Lombardo and His Royal Canadians

I could not find the Guy Lombardo version on YouTube, but I found this one that is similar.  I also like the Jo Stafford version, nice sax.

"The Time It Is Today" by The Association

Yesterday's song reminded me of this song that I was listening to last week.  

"... then your love will fill your days."

"Mechanical World" by Spirit

I remember my friends Randy and Gaylen and I were driving over North Ogden Pass in Gaylen's AMC Gremlin.  It was late at night and there was no moon out and it was pitch black.  This song came on the radio and it was so creepy!

"Prelude - Nothin' to Hide" by Spirit

I remember discussing this song with my neighbor in my high school English class about this song having the F-word in it.  One of the first songs I remember having the F-word.
