A FriYay Party!

This is a slightly different type of FriYay party. Oh, it’s mostly rock and roll but I threw a couple of quieter songs in just for those who like to chill out, too.

That’s why you get to hear George Thorogood and Bruce Springsteen in the same medley as Merrilee Rush and the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Against my better judgment, I also threw in lot of “me” in between songs. For reasons I can’t begin to fathom, some people like it. Hey, it if it makes them happy … πŸ™‚

I don’t ordinarily post anything on the weekend but I do have something coming up on Sunday πŸ˜‰

Memories … That’s What We’re All About

Byrds – Journey
Merrilee Rush – George Thorogood

    Wow! What a way to end of the week! Fabulous choices here, had me dancing all over through the living room, and the dining room, and on to the kitchen. Starting to make a custard pie, and music to stir by! Gosh, I just can’t think of a better grouping of songs, and the man who made it all possible for us! Wonderful doesn’t even express how it made me feel. Loved it all from Badfinger all the way through the Springsteen. Ray, you’re the best! Have a fabulous weekend! πŸ₯°
