  1. It's Saturday morning #JukeboxFridayNight which can only mean one thing! Your playlists have been finalised.

    First we have #MusicAwards youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZe

    And secondly #NotForgotten youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZe

    With almost 2.5x the amount of tracks, it's clear that a lot of artists are no forgotten, but music awards come and go!

    Sorry I didn't get a post up yesterday, it's been a four day week in the UK, and my bosses still expected 5 days worth of work!

  2. If magic doesn't save you, an old friend cautions us that you shouldn't wait for luck to save you but pass through the fire to the light. #JukeboxFridayNight #NotForgotten #Music

    Lou Reed - Magic And Loss:

  3. Life can sure take some twists and turns, but music can rise up and save you when you least expect it. #JukeboxFridayNight #NotForgotten #Music

    Robbie Robertson - Somewhere Down The Crazy River:

  4. Personal Anecdote: Being a poor boy born in South Philly in the Sixties, it never entered my mind that one day I would be strolling in the Grand-Place in Brussels with a beautiful bride. Just as I entered the square, a tall skinny local boy with a guitar and small amp broke into a note-perfect version of this song. The marriage might have ended, but some things of beauty span both time and space. #JukeboxFridayNight #NotForgotten #Music

    Bob Marley - Is This Love:

  5. Having these musicians provide a soundtrack for your life made for some pretty good years; some might say... golden (pinky in the mouth like Dr. Evil). #JukeboxFridayNight #NotForgotten #Music

    David Bowie - Golden Years:

  6. Always joined at the hip by a period of time and the whims of chance, celebrated individually of course by those who remember. Not bad for two kids who grew up in the Fifties on skiffle, huh?#JukeboxFridayNight #NotForgotten #Music

    John Lennon - Instant Karma:

  7. We celebrate the immortals tonight for #JukeboxFridayNight #NotForgotten #Music. If you can't ever imagine your life without the music of these various people then fill up your glass, fire up your lighter and raise it high in the air. We'll kick it off with a few musical ruminations about the nature of life, led by someone long gone but never forgotten who wonders aloud about life without love itself.

    George Harrison - What Is Life:

  8. Closing TIme - Leonard Cohen

    ETA another layer of "not forgotten:" Posting this reminded me of driving to New Orleans with my Mom, who heard this for the first time via a road trip mix I put together. She loved it.

  9. My mom was a big fan of the Statler Brothers, she loved Harold Statler. This one is for my mama, gone but never forgotten.

  10. One last winner from the Smash Hits Poll of 1989, the Most Promising New Group.

    Big Fun, three lads who sung in almost-harmony, who danced in near-unison, and whose hair was suspiciously like Bruce Forsyth's. They didn't have any big hits after 1989, and band member Jason John died in 2017.

    There is something undeniably brilliant about the chorus of "Can't shake the feeling", I'll remember them this way.

    This tune was released a full decade after my father passed away, but I immediately connected with the lyrics. I can't listen to it without thinking of him and wiping tears from my eyes.

    The Living Years by Mike + The Mechanics

    They were in the “Urgh a Music War” movie being very trippy for my suburban sensibilities.. saw them much later - around the time this was out… always have time for a band with a Theremin 🫸📡

    My friend's a stooge for the media priests
    In the morning with his hand on his heart
    He keeps the world safe from falling apart

  13. Here's Dire Straits' powerful classic, Brothers in Arms.

    It seems appropriate for ANZAC day in NZ, celebrating our war veterans, and it also seems appropriate for this crazed world that has still not learned that war is never the answer.

    "But it's written in the starlight
    And every line in your palm
    We're fools to make war
    On our brothers in arms"

    It's all about memory this week and I stumbled upon this just now.

    James Darren - 'Goodbye Cruel World'

    youtube.com/watch?v=WUFsTNDkoF4

    Farewell to love
    I'm off to join the circus
    Gotta find a way to hide my tears
    Then I'll have them rollin' in the aisle
    And I'll forget that woman
    if it takes a hundred years
