The night they drove ol' Dixie down

[Patchouli]

Cold yet? This is weather appropriate. This band seemed to play music for laughs. Their sense of humor came through their lyrics and beat. Locals.

Mr. Scruggs and friends

My parents listened to Flatt & Scruggs when I was a little. Love that sound even now. They also went square dancing.
The group "Wherligig" are friends of ours. Ken makes the instruments they play.

If you don't remember this tune then you never listened to the radio in the 60s.

 

[Terri9630]

I never listened to the radio in the 60's (70's baby) but I like that song. I have it on my phone.

 

[Bacpacker]

Excellent song. They had a lot of big hits. China Grove was one of my favorites and Blackwater.
Golden Earring's hits were probly 10 years or more apart. Both really good.
I'm sorry I have missed this thread. Still working my way back thru it.

 

[Patchouli]

Aw, good. I'm glad someone else has the same sort of taste in music I do. Kind of off the wall sometimes @Bacpacker !!!

 

[Amish Heart]

Maybe, but good stuff!

A few decades ago I danced with a guy in a wheelchair to this song and a few others. I told hubby I'm going to ask him to dance since he was moving around and he took me up on it. He had a blast and had that chair up on two wheels and turning all over the floor.We both had fun.

Here is another Dixie song,

Thank you Patch. I loved that video. Liked lots of the old classic sound tracts. Rogers and Hammerstein are two of the greatest song writers of all time if you go by the numbers and lyrics too. I think they wrote for this movie too,not sure.

One of my favorites from the Eagles. James Dean is another one.

 

[Bacpacker]

I finally got thru this thread. Some excellent music throughout.

 

[Meerkat]

A little before my prime time but always like it,




Our grandparents getting down to the beat. 1941. Its back now hubbys brother and his wife have been dancing Swing for several years now.

 

[MoBookworm1957]

Enjoyed the music.

 

[Spikedriver]

Somebody mentioned Joe Cocker a while back. I always loved this song, it was both light hearted and naughty...

 

[Meerkat]

One from one of mamas song books she sang and played piano to. She had a huge musical vocabulary ,she loved all music. Classic,blues, rock etc,etc,etc,.

 

[WVDragonlady]

Just found this one. Too funny and especially appropriate for now-a-days

 

[Patchouli]

This is one not heard much.
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
But instead it just kept on raining
A veil of tears for the Virgin birth
I remember one Christmas morning
A winter's light and a distant choir
And the peal of a bell and that Christmas tree's smell
And their eyes full of tinsel and fire
They sold me a dream of Christmas
They sold me a Silent Night
They told me a fairy story
'Till I believed in the Israelite
And I believed in Father Christmas
I looked to the sky with excited eyes
Then I woke with a yawn in the first light of dawn
And I saw him and through his disguise
I wish you a hopeful Christmas
I wish you a brave New Year
All anguish pain and sadness
Leave your heart and let your road be clear
They said there'll be snow at Christmas
They said there'll be peace on Earth
Hallelujah Noel be it Heaven or Hell
The Christmas we get we deserve
