Don't watch the video; listen to the words.

I have been enjoying the old 70's and 80's videos on Pluto lately.

What is real fun is looking up these old groups and singers and seeing what became of them.

I can't remember if I posted this or not. Nothing says I can't post it again. The thread is "what song are you listening to?"

Ravel "Bolero" with conductor Alondra de la Parra

I'm usually disappointed when I see my much-loved musical singers and groups.

Well, except for Christine McVie and Stevie Nicks.

Although Stevie is looking pretty long in the tooth, lately.

Don't ask me how I got from the Rolling Stones to the Andrew Sisters. Oh, look! Shiny!

"Oh Johnny!"

Long in the tooth and looking a gift horse in the mouth have the same root. Horses teeth keep growing over their lives so long in the tooth shows a horses age, looking a gift horse in the mouth is checking out how old the horse is. SQUIRREL

Many years of cocaine and alcohol abuse plus age

This came up on SiriusXM one day, and I kind of fell in love with it. Listen to the lyrics.

Susan Werner, "Sleeping on a Train" ("Kicking the Beehive") 2013

Speaking of train songs, one of my all-time favorites. If they don't have music of all kinds in the afterlife, I'm not going.

And dogs. Must have dogs. Oh, and Harleys. Okay, motorcycles of every kind. With endless roads perfect for riding. I mean, what is an afterlife if you don't have any of that stuff?

Arlo Guthrie, "City of New Orleans." Written by Steve Goodman and recorded in 1971. Arlo recorded in '72, and Willie in '84. First produced by Kris Kristofferson.



Merle Haggard "Miner's Silver Ghost." As far as I can tell, it was written in 2002 by Sterling Whipple. That's what I said.




David Allen Coe, "You Never Even Called Me by My Name." Another one written by Steve Goodman (1975).




Rosanne Cash "My Baby Thinks He's a Train." ("Seven Year Ache" 1981). Written by Leroy Preston. Plenty of people have done this song, but this is the first one I heard.




Okay, last one I can think of; otherwise, I gotta start googling. Wait, does "Chattanooga Shoe Shine Boy" count? It does, but never mind.

You have to have the classic, "Orange Blossom Special." Lots and lots and lots of excellent versions out there, but I chose this one by Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, because I like it. Also: I'm surprised someone's (or several someones') fiddle didn't catch fire. The song was written in 1938 and recorded in 1939 - and a bazillion times since then by everybody.
