My Friday Random Top Ten
4541 – Sammy Davis, Jr. – What Kind Of Fool Am I – 5/10
A bit melodramatic for the first song out of the shoot.
2119 – Chris Wyatt – Movin On – 4/10
Personal friend of the lead guitar player, otherwise, a non-descript song.
7466 – Van Halen – D.O.A. – 5/10
Just not the perfect Van Halen song for tonight. Damn, do I need more rum?
6698 – The Chords – Sha Boom – 9/10
Ok, that worked for me, after my rum refill!
1976 – Boz Scaggs – Lowdown – 10/10
Well, at least for tonight it’s a ten.
1750 – The Beatles – Ask Me Why – 10/10
All smiles. Time to refill the pipe.
2018 – Carole King – It’s Too Late – 10/10
Three tens in a row. “And it’s too late, baby, now it’s too late, though we really did try to make it. Something inside has died, and I can’t hide and I just can’t fake it.”
1175 – Sugarcubes – Fucking In Rhythm And Sorrow – 5/10
Good groove, but not the one I’m in tonight.
3958 – Michael Jackson – The Way You Make Me Feel (not rated)
LOL.
“Hey pretty baby with the high heels on, give me fever like I’ve never known.”
889 – The Moments – Love On A Two Way Street – 2/10
Hey, even I have elevator music.
Bonus Track:
3875 – Mel Torme – New York State Of Mind – 10/10
Ok, that’s a lot of tens for the evening. But, honestly, how can you not rate NYSOM, by any artist, let alone the “velvet fog” anything less than a ten?
