Embarrassing Tunes

I was a big Elton John fan when I was a teeny-bopper. But I guess that's ok since most of his early 70's stuff was vastly different than his post-Yellow Brick Road mid and late 70's stuff.

Also, I liked "RIGHT BACK WHERE WE STARTED FROM" by Maxine Nightingale "SORRY SEEMS TO BE THE HARDEST WORD" by Elton John "Rhiannon (Will You Ever Win)" by Stevie Nicks "Say You Love Me" by Christine McVie by Fleetwood Mac "A LITTLE BIT SOUTH OF SASKATOON" by Sonny James "YOU MAKE ME FEEL LIKE DANCING" by Leo Sayer

Why you ask? It's the soundtrack to the movie Slapshot, the George Roy Hill hockey movie with Paul Newman. Hugely influencial for hockey crazed Canajuns like me. Right Michael? Ken?

The Moody Blues

" Lady Jane" - Rolling Stones (1966)

Agreed. I owned Brick Road for a time.

Hey, that wasn't bad either.

Wow... I recognize some and I'm fairly sure I know some of the others if I heard them.

All those tunes were on the soundtrack? I ask because I'm a little amazed by the music I'm suddenly able to get.

This town's hockey folk've been making a ruckus recently as you can imagine. I've gotten an earful when caught downtown on my rollerblades. Maybe we'll have another riot this year.

That's embarrassing?! What about something from Dolly Parton? Remember that 'Convoy' tune? :D

I must know it by ear and should see if I can take a listen from online. Not what I'd call embarrassing, but I found The Byrds' 'Eight Miles High' recently and play it fairly often. In a sense, it's new to me, but was often in the background.

Never heard of it.

What town is that?

I thought about that one for a while, and I can see Bob's point. Harpsichord, dulcimer, Elizabethan pretensions....

Speaking of which, and Fairport Convention fans out there?

Years ago, an illustrator friend of mine did this caricature illustration of me for a NYTimes sports op-ed column called Sound-Off. The weekly topic was on hockey violence.

:D
