They say one song can bring back a thousand memories. That may be a bit of hyperbole but the fact is hearing a song from long ago always manages to bring back certain feelings; where you were when you first heard it, perhaps even the person you were with when that song played on the radio.
It all starts with a Little Richard classic, followed immediately by a Beatles song recorded as a tribute to the 50s rocker. After that, it’s a mixture of (mostly) up tempo rock and pop songs.
I’m not saying all of these songs will rise to that occasion, but I hope there are at least one or two that bring you back in time and put a smile on your face.

Good Morning Ray, Todays rainy day musical medley of memories was the perfect listen while I read this weeks Springfield Reporter. Ted & I probably won’t be working outside today but it a good day with good music so thank you & enjoy your day, whatever you do.
Thank you, Lee & Ted! Yep, it’s a good day to stay inside and work on tomorrow’s medley (which as a song dedicated to Lee!) and removing the whiskers from my face! Have a wonderful day!
Good morning Ray. My wife listened to your Oldies this morning 🌄 and before you knew she was singing and smiling and on the way out the door she was dancing 💃 her way to work! What a great way to start the day!!Thanks 😊 Ray and you have a good day!
Good morning, Bruce! That must have been quite a scene! I can picture it and that made me smile! Thank you for that! Have a wonderful day! 🙂
another great medley .. loved them all!! Is so sad every time I think of Karen Carpenter .. she was so talented and had a beautiful voice … like so many others, her legacy lives on thru her music!!
Have a wonderful day!
XXOO
Thanks, Penny! Karen was a gifted singer. Her death was such a tragedy, but you’re right about her legacy!
Have a great day!
XOXO
Ray loved it!! Got some good toe dancing in!! Little Richard can do that!! Great tunes and I also want to say thank you for the history lesson!!
Love ya and may God Bless!!
Thanks, Fred! I’m so glad you enjoyed it and I am very happy you’re limiting yourself to toe dancing!
Love ya!
Nothing like a zippy medley to start the day!
I agree, Mary Helen! It helps chase the blues away!
These certainly took me back, so enjoyed them. Thanks and have a Wonderful Wednesday! <3
Thank you, Nancy! I am so happy you enjoyed them!
Happy hump day! Thanks to those first two songs that you selected by begin to dance, and before you know it, I had emptied the dishwasher of all the clean dishes. It made me do it very fast. I just loved all of your selections these days it doesn’t take much to make me happy. But when I hear your tunes, it makes me smile. It makes me move around and it makes me think of days gone by, some beautiful memories. I loved the Carpenter Selection, and always admired Karen Carpenter, and was sad when she passed away. Here we are so many years later still listening to her! How wonderful is that? Loved hearing Gary Puckett and the Union gap and also that final selection which there again, maybe start dancing again. Until tomorrow, my friend, remember “you’re the best” 🥰
Thank you, Sandy! I always (and I mean ALWAYS) love your comments and your enthusiasm! I’m very glad I could help to empty the dishwasher!
Great shopping with these songs…made me so happy, I may have bought too much. Playing it some more while I work at my desk on getting this fall’s logger-training courses put together.
Thanks, Ray!
Thank you, Jim! As always, I love it when the music lifts you up!
Nice selections, Ray. Thank you.
Thank you, Nancy. Much appreciated!
Another awesome medley! Love the upbeat of this! Had the toes tapping! Sorry for the late comment. I am playing catch up today. Ready to binge the next two days!
Never be sorry bot a late comment. I always appreciate your very kind comments, but if you miss a day or two, that is fine. 🙂
