I'm making this post 5 years in the future, I was in Jitter Bug Coffee Hop tonight talking to Bruce.  He was playing this song and talking about it, so Idecided to post it here and help fill in my old blog.

Everybody tells me I need sensible shoes, since I wear high heels almost all the time.  But I *SWEAR* I walk better in high heels!!

"I'm So Tired" by The Beatles

I think I can say that September was the worst month I've had since I was last working at a very stressful job.  And now October is not starting off very well, I had all sorts of database grief from KCQN yesterday.  I can't help but think: "I'm So Tired".

"Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" by Steve & Eydie

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Eydie Gorme today.  Steve and Eydie have the distinction of being the first LP record my family owned.  It was included with the new Westinghouse record player my Grandfather bought.  This song is one of my favorites from that album.

Unfortunately, I could not find their version by itself on YouTube, but I did find this one with 3 different versions of the song and I find I enjoyed all three.

"I Get a Kick Out of You" by Enoch Light and the Light Brigade

See my post for 24-Jul-2013 for further explanation.

Track #10 on the cassette is an electronic number (a Theramin perhaps?) that Shazam can't identify and I can't even identify the tune.  It sounds familiar but I have never been good at figuring out significantly different versions of a tune.

This song is track #11 on the cassette and I love it!

"The Shadow of Your Smile" by Andy William (feat. Al Hirt)

See my post for 24-Jul-2013 for an explanation.

Track #4 on the cassette was "All I have to Do Is Dream" by Bobbie Gentry and  Glen Campbell.  Not a favorite of mine so I'm not going to post it.

Shazam doesn't seem to be able to identify track #5   :(

Track #6 is "My Shy Violet" by the Mills Brothers, which I posted on 7-Jun-2015.

Shazam doesn't seem to be able to identify track #7 either.  I'm going to guess Dream a Little Dream of Me by maybe Lenny Dee.

Track #8 is "The Shadow of Your Smile", I was thinking perhaps by Al Hirt but that isn't coming up on YouTube.  This version with Andy Williams vocal is very nice.

YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZEQVrhl7mk

"Ground Hog" by Duke Pearson

Rachel Update 18-Mar-2020: corrected the grammar in one spot.

It's a freaking "Christmas in July" Miracle!!!

Wait, let's back up for a minute.  I'm actually writing this post (as Rachel) on 24-Dec-2017.  I was making a Christmas CD today as a gift and then I decided to combine it with a copy of the "Rachel's Happy New Year 2015" CD I made for Christmas in 2014.

Note: Some of the CD's were labeled "Scott's Happy New Year 2015" because I hadn't come out yet.  That was still a few months out...

Anyway, then I thought I should replace one song ("It Was a Very Good Year" by The Brothers Four because I later realized it was pretty misogynistic.  I had made a note about putting the song "Walking Happy" on a second disc.

That brought me to the fact that I never figured out who did the version on the cassette I where I originally heard it.  So I started playing one of those old cassettes (labeled "Easy Listening #2") to see if I could find that original version.

Just for grins I thought I would try Shazam and see if it could identify any of the songs.  Lo and behold it has identified several.  In the past it was only able to identify the well know songs.

So I've decided to list the songs on this old cassette that Shazam can identify.

The first track on side 1 is: "That's the Stuff You Gotta Watch" by Mose Allison (see my post from 5-Aug-2011)

And this song is track 2:

"Wives and Lovers" (1965 version) by Burt Bacharach

Wendy got me this shirt (in March 2020) to support MS

Got the wheel bearing races out of the Plymouth's hub

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and July 15th).  This song is Side 1, Track 7 on my Best of All #11 cassette.

I love this tune but the lyrics are so misogynistic.  I mentioned when I posted the Jack Jones version in my Rachel's blog, that I want to rewrite the lyrics.  The idea hit me today, what if I changed the lyrics to reverse all the gender references: "hey little boy, comb your hair, fix your makeup...".  I don't know.  How about "just because there's a ring in your nose"... LOL

This is the version on Kapp records, released as a single in 1965 and then on the 1969 "Burt Bacharach Plays His Hits" on Kapp Records.  The one with the sexy girl on the cover ;)

I'm painting a Philly Pride Flag on the hood of the Plymouth.  I don't know what I did, got oil or something on it, but there were spots all over in that stripe where the paint had wrinkles in it.  I sanded a good deal of it off

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and July 15th).  This song is Side 2, Track 3 on my Best of All #11 cassette.

I'm writing this post on 12-Mar-2020.  Last week Sue and I thought we would take the Plymouth to pick up Mariah from school.  I started hearing this clunking noise while we were moving.  It kept getting louder and louder and by the time we got to 3500 S. it was making me nervous.  So I turned onto 900 West and drove home and got the Mazda.

This has always been a favorite.  The Live version is really fun!

"You Only Live Twice" by Nancy Sinatra

The Utah Pride Center moved to it's location on 300 E.in 2013, it moved to this location in 2018

Stopped by the Utah Pride Center on 25-Feb-2020 and got a Rock Camp SLC sticker

I bought this sports car in January 2020 and it is definitely the kind of car Bond would drive... well with that license place if Bond was a girl ;)  This car is definitely bad ass, if you punch it in 1st it hits the red line of 9,000 RPM in like a couple of seconds!

Anyway, I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and July 15th).  This tape has just been a nightmare!  See my post for 23-Aug-2018 and now it turns out this instrumental that is Side 1, Track 8 on my Best of All #11 cassette is not John Barry "You Only Live Twice" but actually "Fight At Kobe Dock - Helga".

So I'm going to post the Nancy Sinatra theme instead although it isn't on the tape.  I perceive that Nancy Sinatra is a Bad Ass and would drive a Mazda RX8.

Identified this song since the previous post

Shazam to the rescue, it was able to identify this instrumental.  This is the theme from the Bond movie of the same name.  It is the one that starred George Lazenby as James Bond.  It also had Diana Rigg (Mrs. Peel from the Avengers).  Totally one of the women I had a crush on when I was young.  So f'ing HOT!!!!

Final correction to this list, used Shazam to find out what this song was

I finally dug the cassette out of the garage, played it and used Shazam to find out what track #5 was.  I had no memory of Fanny.  Does sound a lot like Fleetwood Mac to me.  At least I got the title right.

"The Show Must Go On" by Three Dog Night

Rachel update 5-Feb-2019: added the photo above and  a note:

You just never know where life is going to take you!  In 2013 I had no idea that within a couple of years I would be happily living as a woman and furthermore I would be getting on stage and singing in front of people.

I estimate at this moment I have sang around 150 different songs on stage not counting repeat performances of the same songs.  Counting all the times on stage I estimate I've sang about 200 times at seven* different locations.  I would guess at least two or three hundred people, maybe more, have seen and heard me sing.

The reason I bring this up is that I had this song in the queue last night at the Sun Trapp and I was about to get on stage and sing it when the power went out at the Sun Trapp and the surrounding area.  Of course that put an end to the karaoke for that evening.  :(

Sun Trapp: http://suntrapp.com/Sun_Trapp/Welcome_to_The_Sun_Trapp.html

* that number doesn't include getting on stage at the Urban Lunge and singing with Talia Keys and The Femme.

All those decades I hated myself and always thought I was a bad man, I can look back and see I wasn't so bad and I've had a good life and now it is great!

"Chained" by Three Dog Night

Record I left in the sun for only a few minutes on 6-Jul-2017

Close up of Grand Central sticker

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and yesterday).

Track #2 on My "Best of All #10" Cassette which I posted Paris 1919 by John Cale back on 20-Sep-2012.

Track #3 is this song.

"Pathway to Glory" by Loggins and Messina

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and May 20th).

I'm actually writing this post over 5 years in the future on 23-Aug-2018.  This morning I scanned in some of my notes from when I was listing the song on those old cassettes.

This is the one for "Best of All #10":

Funny, I was just listening a Loggins and Messina album a few days ago while I was taking a sponge bath out under the pergola.  (Our shower has been broken for months and I haven't had time to fix it).

"Bill Bailey Won't You Please Come Home" by Benny Goodman

A promotional record for Lennox furnaces?

Another favorite I found on this album.  I can't find the version with the vocal at the moment

"Me And You And A Dog Named Boo" by Lobo

The interior of the 1960 T-bird, I so remember driving that car!!

Mine had a 352 engine too!  He wanted almost $18,000 WOW!!!

This is Rachel filling in my old Scott's blog, I'm writing this on 10-Mar-2020.  See Wednesday's post for more about how this song came about.  And see Thursday's post for more about the car.

"Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" by The Fortunes

1960 Thunderbird Like the one I used to own

This is Rachel filling in my old Scott's blog, I'm writing this on 10-Mar-2020.  See Wednesday's post for more about how this song came about.  And see yesterday's post for more about the car.

This is such a great song...

"Stay Awhile" by The Bells

This is the same model and year as my Thunderbird was

This is Rachel filling in my old Scott's blog, I'm writing this on 10-Mar-2020.  See yesterday's post for more about how this song came about.  I'm a lesbian and when I'm performing songs I modify the lyrics from a lesbian perspective.  I was just pondering how this song would be.  You would just have to have two females and change the pronouns, it would be cool.

SueZQ and I were up in Evanston, Wyoming 6 years ago a I saw this car for sale.  It is the same model and year as the Thunderbird I used to own.

"One Toke Over the Line" by Brewer & Shipley

70's Smash Hits cassette

This is Rachel filling in my old Scott's blog, I'm writing this on 10-Mar-2020.  We bought SueZQ a truck on Sunday and the stereo in it plays cassettes instead of CD's.  So I dug out a few old cassettes from a box in the garage and we've been listening to them.  The cassette shown above is one we listened to.

I've been meaning to post this song to my blog for a long time, so this is the push I needed.

I think maybe I'll go smoke some weed after this, it's sort of legal in Utah now although our state legislature fucked with it so it's messed up.  I just heard this week (again in March 2020) that the first dispensery opened.

"Everything's Coming Our Way" by Santana

I painted the red stripe on International Women's Day 2020

I'm writing this post on 10-Mar-2020, I've been working on painting my Plymouth with various pride flags.  I'm going to paint the Philly Pride flag on the hood.

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and June 2).  This song is Side 2, Track 6 on my Best of All #9 cassette.  I had forgotten this came from the Santana III album.

"My Wife" by The Who

I finished painting the "Lesbian Pride" flag on the roof of the Plymouth

I don't like it, the pink stripe is too close in color to the magenta stripe

I'm writing this post on 9-Mar-2020, I've been working on painting my Plymouth with various pride flags.  I finished the Lesbian Pride flag on the roof a couple of days ago, but I don't like it.  The Pink stripe (2nd from the left) is too close in color to the Magenta stripe on the right.  I think I'm going to paint over the Pink stripe with a light orange or peach color.  I couldn't find really the right shades for all the colors anyway.  That will be my version of a Lesbian flag.

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and June 2).  This song is Side 2, Track 5 on my Best of All #9 cassette.

Note: this post is my 1,000th post in my Scott's blog.  Added to the 1,263 published posts in my Rachel's blog that is 2,263 songs / blog posts as of 10-Mar-2020.

As Rachel I'm a thinking I'm on the wife's side...

"Paint It Black" by The Rolling Stones

Found this magazine in the garage today (8-Mar-2020)

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and June 2).  This song is Side 2, Track 4 on my Best of All #9 cassette.

I had an intersection with "Paint it Black" in my former career.  After I quit ???? in Virginia in 2001 and moved back to Salt Lake City, I started working at Incognito Entertainment on "Twisted Metal Small Brawl" and after that "Twisted Metal: Black Online".

As you may  know The Rolling Stones "Paint It Black" was used in "Twisted Metal Black" as the Theme Song if you will.  Rumor was that Sony paid a huge amount of money to use it.  I don't remember exactly but I think it was over a million dollars.

I painted the black stripe for the Philly Pride Flag on the Plymouth

I'm (Rachel) filling in my old (Scott's) blog using songs from my old "favorites" cassette tapes (see my posts on March 1st and June 2).  This song is Side 2, Track 2 on my Best of All #9 cassette.

I suspect this song has something to do with religion or the bible, but I know very little about it.  But I like the song.

This is such a great song, I can't believe I haven't posted it before (I'm writing this on 29-Feb-2020 - Leap Day).  Actually I thought I had posted it, I was surprised when I didn't find it.
