stick another needle in me finger or the record player

[needles eye]

sometimes stooging around in my man cave late at night i jam my fingers under foot. It's good enough reason for a nice little cry. Looking at some of my vinyl / canvas masterpieces might make others! Anyway love listen' to old tearjerkers late at night in between stitches or sherberts or whatever, and, here's a a real beauty:

This song by "lone wolf" Roland Kent Lavoie came out when i was about 12. He first offered it to The Hollies but they didn't like the line ... blood rushes to my feet. And they wanted half writing credits. Se he recorded it himself. Johnny Nash "I can see clearly now" kept it from number one. Wonder if that was a rain of blood, sweat and tears? Honestly in between sobs you can play it in G Am C G but it's best in Bflat, C minor F Bflat [see e-chords]

Hey y'all so anyway you gotta fave tearjerker too? Pray tell ...

Sorry about your finger ???

Love LOBO!  Funny how we have fond memories of songs that were popular in our early teen years.  Thanks for that link.

Do you think that 20 years from now, our kids are going to have fond memories of the crap they're listenin' to now?

I'm sure that our parents said the same thing ;)

I was a kid when I first heard this and thought it was weird to be singing about something so sad.

Speaking of needles in the record player, remember when you had a skip in a record, you could tape 4 quarters to the arm, and the extra weight would help the needle to cut a new groove through the skip?

Guess I'm about 30 years too late with that little helpful hint. ;D  

BTW GENE, I find it ironic that YOU of alll people (the one who professed his extreme hatred for smileys) now has a huge one as an avatar. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

All I hear is distortion on guitars and yelling into the microphone.   Can't understand a word of what they're saying.  Living on a main road, I also hear an occasional car go by with a trunk full of speakers, windows down and makes the china in my house rattle with the ba-boom-boom-boom.    I am going to buy stock in hearing aid companies in a couple of years.

I always got a kick out of my parents' comments about the Beatles.  But they listened to Lawrence Welk's band play the tunes and that was OK.

Mr. Sofa D, I realized that I do not hate smileys. I only hate it when other people use smileys.

Haters got to hate.


Granny and grandpa used to light up their bong when Lawrence and the gang sand this song:

now i'm really wondering what our forebears and people like Dale and Gail got up to ...

Being just 30 years old I do not know alot of the music you old farts are posting here. :)

My parents watched Lawrence Welk some of the time but thankfully my Dad was a Hee Haw fan. It beat being put to sleep by the Welk gang.

if you need sadness then Country music can give you all of it that you want:

Living on a main road, I also hear an occasional car go by with a trunk full of speakers, windows down and makes the china in my house rattle with the ba-boom-boom-boom. 

It seems like those cars wouldn't even need gas. The ba-boom-boom-boom should be enough to propel the car down the road.
My daughter doesn't have a trunk full of speakers, but she does turn her stereo up way too loud for my tastes when she drives. She says that I'm just an old fart when I tell her that the loud noise affects your vision when driving. But I swear that when the music is that loud, I can't even see the road.

They should fix kid's cars so that any time they turn up the volume up too high, this song automatically kicks on:

The only time I turn up the radio really loud is on the weekly "Scotland Hour" when they play "Scotland the Brave."

If they played "Ride of the Valkyries," I'd probably turn that up, too.

I usually go in for the distorted guitar and screaming vocals, but you guys might like this one-
