Rare bootlegs? Deep cuts? Alternative versions of classic tunes? These are what excite me as a lover of all types of music. Music touches the heart, the mind and stirs the soul, and it has been and always will be a passion for me because music continues to evolve. And, as technology allows "lost" or "forgotten" outtakes, re-recordings and other live and demo recordings to be made available for fans to enjoy, music will remain a living, breathing art form.

Music Wed - Some More Tool Tunes with Player, Wings, FGTH And Van Halen
Music Wed - I was all set to do something else this week when I heard an old fave "tool tune" which made me go down a totally different path. So, covering multiple decades and genres, and with no common theme, here are some more of my tool tunes which I love even though I may not always want to admit to others that I always sing along with these when I hear them. First is Player, with "Baby Come Back" (http://youtu.be/DDYBin9QZJc) - super cheesy? Sure. But that is part of its late '70s charm. Next is Wings and one of Paul's many "silly love songs" (another tool tune!) for Linda - "My Love." I crank it every time I hear it, and here is a great live version (http://youtu.be/qGStwcniqyI). Wings is way overlooked for memorable '70s bands. Denny Laine was a perfect partner for Paul and helped fill the void of no Beatles. I want to jump forward to the '80s with two songs I love to catch on Pandora or any other streaming service because I never get tired of them - Van Halen's "Hot For Teacher" (http://youtu.be/UXQYcNSNIb8) - gotta love a song that features great opportunities for both an air drum solo AND an air guitar solo! - and Frankie Goes To Hollywood and "Relax" (http://youtu.be/y64T-kYQ2B8). "Frankie Says" this song is irrestible. Good stuff when you are riding around and catch one of these oldies, but goodies. Enjoy!
