"Glamour Boy" by The Guess Who

I've had this song stuck in my head for the last few days.  It was one of the songs I was going to post this as part of my old cassettes that I've been filling in 2013 with  (see my post from March 1st, 2013), but I haven't gotten back to that yet.

"Shut Your Eyes" by Snow Patrol

Crazy,  I still think of this as a fairly new song, but it is almost 10 years old now.  Anyway it's a great song.

"Hold Your Head Up" by Argent

Rachel  update 22-Aug-2017:

Added photo from the Utah Aids Foundation Gala, that Jimmy invited me to that night.  My first night out as Rachel, it was a delightful experience!

Original Post:

I was thinking about this song this morning and I was going to send a friend a link to it in my blog.  I was shocked that I couldn't find it!  I was 100% certain that I had already posted it, I searched for it with every word that seemed reasonable, but it was nowhere to be found.  So I might as  well fix that error now.

I liked the comment on YouTube that it "should be everybody's theme song", it definitely should be.  And I love the old photos in the "long version" video.

"This Love" by Maroon 5

Every time I hear this song on the radio I think "I have to remember to post this to my blog", but have always forgotten.  Decided I should do it now while I'm thinking about it.

"Bad Day" by Daniel Powter

Ended very stressed out last night and fell asleep a little earlier than usual.  I woke up a couple of minutes before midnight and had the worst MS related incident to date.  It had to be most scary 5 minutes of my life (seemed like an eternity).  Still pretty scared his morning.

"Pink Cadillac" by Bruce Springsteen

Another song I love by Bruce Springsteen.  I know several people who prefer the version by Aretha Franklin, so I tried to find that on YouTube, but all I've found so far is a live version.  I also found some other fun versions, so I've included them too.

"American Pie" by Don McLean

Thanks to WJ for reminding me today (66 years ago) is "the day the music died".  Funny, this song is one that I still remember where I was when I first heard it: I had just come out of Carter's Electronic Supply on Washington Blvd. in Ogden.  I sat in the parking lot in the 1963 Pontiac Catalina and listened to the entire thing.

Nothing like some Blues...

"On the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe" by Johnny Mercer

I meant to post this song months ago and apparently forgot.  I was reminded when I put the "Go With the Greats" compilation album on the turntable this morning.  It was a hit in 1945, a mere 70 years ago.
