Thank you, dear Subscribers, for being a part of a safe, healthy community of pro-Democracy believers. I value your work and participation in voting OUT election-deniers. Today let’s take a break!
My first favorite album was Ike and Tina, Diane. I played it over and over. You know because it was the one album the adults would let me completely demolish on my kiddie turntable.
Crap, accidentally deleted my whole response. I was just saying that I’ve never been very able to enjoy hard rock although I admire people who can. It does seem like great workout music if you can manage it. I think I get easily overstimulated.
But also, it could have something to do with my very first concert at age 13. I looked in the back of the newspaper in the tiny tiny print next to the want ads and found what concerts were playing in the area. I had heard of this one guy, but I didn’t really know who he was. I brought a French foreign exchange student with me to the concert. She had no idea who anyone was and was game for whatever, plus she could drive. We showed up at a Ted Nugget concert!!😵💫😮Morbidly fascinating.
You are so right...we do need a break now and again. I feel too much consumption of the negative, intense information stream can really affect my attitude and soul. I will go to the gym and listen to more heavy rock music that motivates me for another minute or two on a treadmill. It's unusual for a 68 year old female to love Metallica or Koriti (from Australia) I suppose, but here I am. 😂😂😂
My favorites too…plus Seger … all great for walking, dancing @ the house, getting stuff done! 😅Thanks for this reminder/lots of musical choices here! 🥰😊💙
"Give Me Some Loving" Spenser Davis Group with Stevie Winwood vocals, "20 Flyte Rock" Eddie Cochrane or the "Live from Armadillo World Headquarters version from Commander Cody and the Lost Planet Airmen, Billy C. Fallow vocals.
After I posted this, I came across a great Substack today which says “Take A Break” more eloquently! https://open.substack.com/pub/toooldforthis/p/you-and-i-are-too-old-to-ignore-when?r=2sow8l&utm_medium=ios
I love her too Diane, “what’s love got to do with it? “
Yes, and “Proud Mary” is my go-to—check out the live Amsterdam show.

When I walk to Tina, I found I move faster and sexier 😎

I’m laughing because this old lady likes Elton John and Tina Turner💕Whatever makes us feel like dancing, singing or loving is medicine💙🇺🇸💙💕

Then there’s Rod Stewart’s “Forever Young” which improves my mood😎
Yes!!

I’ll check these out later today, Eugene! Great suggestions.
The Cody live version is so good that the crowd noise is sampled on other live albums by other artists.
Billy C Farlow, vocals
So fun! Thank you for brightening the day!
I met a new singer (I’m old!) Caro Emerald is one smooth jazz singer!
I love anything Joe Bonamassa, can’t get enough of the blues!

Good choice! I love him, I have seen him live many times. The first time I saw him play he was 14 and opened up for BB King!
“Higher and Higher” by Jackie Wilson. There’s a great official video on YouTube, I just don’t know how to link it. Enjoy!

Thanks, Diane. Still trying to link the official one I enjoyed with whole band and back up singers. May be too late in the day for my brain!
Oops, that’s Back it up. This links to Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/back-it-up/647779447?i=647779582
Wow. I did not know her music! What a voice— amazing! Thanks! I’ll explore more, Sara!
Glad you like her voice, Diane! It’s a fun song.
I listened, Sara, to several of her songs—she’s so talented. Jazz!💕
Beck it Up by Caro Emerald
Do you have a link to it, Sara?
Happy Saturday to the two best Dianes!💙💙
