TGIF (Thank God It’s FriYay!) As promised, we’re turning up the energy level today and we’re doing it by playing nothing but British Invasion songs from 1964-1965.
It was a magical era, marking the end of teen icons dominating the Billboard charts. Truth be told, I could have played nothing but The Beatles due to the fact they absolutely controlled the charts in 1964, but there were so many other British acts who changed our music.
So get ready to rock and roll for 38 minutes on another fantabulous FriYay! 🙂
Memories … That’s What We’re All About

I loved this rock-n-roll mix of memories and you finished up with one of my all-time favorites! Used to sit in my room and scream those lyrics out! Thank you for helping me start out the last work-day of the week and I am sure I will play it a few more times this weekend.
Thank you, Jim! Hard to believe the Animals song was recorded in just ONE take!
I’m glad the medley got your day started on the right … note!
Ray this was fabulous I loved every one of these artist back in the day and still do! And having read Jim‘s comment, makes me feel not completely alone. I used to play house of the rising Sun in my car with the sound system turned up so loud I am sure that the people sitting in traffic next to me could hear it!! And of course I sang along with the animals! Oh this was such a great medley. Course I had to play the last song three times. As always you do such a fine job, unsurpassed I guess I’d say! Remember Ray, you’re the best! Hope your weekend is everything you wish for! 🥰
Sandy, it looks like Jim and you have the same good taste in music! Then again, how could anyone not love that Animals song?
I’m very happy you enjoyed the medley and I hope you a wonderful weekend! 🥰
You really got me with this one
Thought I was a middle school teeny bopper listening to my transistor radio or my vinyl
Loved it
👏
Mary Helen. your reaction to this medley is exactly what I was going for! It certainly was a magical time! 🥰
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!! But so glad I had 3 cups of coffee first so I was wide awake to be able to rock on with this one. Also, Jojo has a friend Pepper staying with us for a week and she rocked on too!!
Thank you, Nancy ❤️
I’m glad you made the decision to have 3 cups before you listened. 🤣
I’m very happy Jojo and Pepper enjoyed it, too! 🦜 🦜
From the Beatles to the Animals great music. Except for the Rolling Stones,LOL(I think you probably remember; I have issues with that song).
Thanks, Pat. 🥰
It’s funny about that Stones song. I get more requests for that one than I do any other song of theirs. I hope you skipped over it!
Have a lovely weekend!

This was one of my all-time favorite medleys. I was smiling with every song I added. 🙂
