What are you listening to?

A simple love song from Dennis Locorriere (of the Dr Hook and the Medicine Show band)
"Sure":

Oh my gosh, I had such a crush on Dennis, way back when. Most fun band to see in person. The following is from 1978, The Midnight Special tv show...yup we Boomers You Tube of the times. 😁 This is one of my favorites...😍
 
for months this obscure but great song from a band called Colonel Bagshot has been repeating in my head. it's called Six Day War and was recorded in 1971.

Colonel Bagshot - Six Day War

At the starting of the week
At summit talks you'll hear them speak
It's only Monday
Negotiations breaking down
See those leaders start to frown
It's sword and gun day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You could be sitting taking lunch
The news will hit you like a punch
It's only Tuesday
You never thought we'd go to war
After all the things we saw
It's April Fools day

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late

You hear a whistling overhead
Are you alive or are you dead?
It's only Thursday
You feel a shaking on the ground
A billion candles burn around
Is it your birthday?

Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Tomorrow never comes until it's too late
Make tomorrow come I think it's too late
The link does not work But I listened the song at Youtube. Thank you.
 
Every so often I get some feeling of, "Faith in humanity restored!" I really think this guy has some STO potential and I'd say he's my favorite musician for that very reason. He uses percussive guitar and interviews people inviting them to sing. So they get to activate their vagus nerve and usually say they feel better afterward. If I wasn't so shy I think this would be a good gig. I suppose there are virtual karaoke meetups for this.

I hadn't checked in on his channel in a while, maybe early COVID times, and see now that he gets 1 million views on some videos. My mom wasn't feeling well and I showed her his videos, which helped cheer her up. I think music has real potential to help people connect and bring out the best in them. Sometimes I feel like I can best communicate through a song.

This one was good:


But this one was really heartwarming. Watch until the end!

 
Imad Fares, jamming in the street. Classical guitar playing always captivates me.

Once when I was in Spain I got into a conversation with a flamenco guitarists about guitarists in Spain. He basically told me that there are many very excellent players but only a very small fraction get to be seen in the limelight of big time MSM. Not sure who Imad is but I suspect he falls into that category of excellent players. Great performance !!!!
