It’s rare when I post a medley on a Sunday and it’s even more rare when I post two of them! But thanks to a suggestion by Tim Johnson Arsenault, that’s what you’re getting today.

The first is a mellowish (is that a word?) mix of some of the more quiet rock and roll instrumentals. To be more precise, they were instrumentals that became rock and roll hits.

The second medley is filled with instrumentals of a more upbeat nature. You know, real rock and roll hits.

I can’t claim that these songs are completely without words because two songs … one in each medley … do have a lyric, a single, solitary lyric. 🙂

Memories … That’s What We’re All About
