  1. This week's #TuneTuesday theme is #JumpUpAndDown. This great clip is from the 1959 Alan Freed movie "Go Johnny Go!":

    The Flamingos: Jump Children (1959)
    youtube.com/watch?v=COFvEGFzGYc

    Although the Flamingos were better-known for their ballads, you wouldn't believe it from the wild dance routines on this clip! The line-up of the group at the time was Nate Nelson, Tommy Hunt, Jake Carey, Paul Wilson, Zeke Carey and Terry Johnson. In addition to singing, Terry Johnson played guitar and Zeke Carey bass.

  2. "Maybellene" is a #rockAndRoll song by American artist #ChuckBerry, adapted in part from the #westernSwing fiddle tune "Ida Red". Released in 1955, Berry’s song tells the story of a #hotRod race and a broken romance, the lyrics describing a man driving a #V8 #Ford and chasing his unfaithful girlfriend in her #CadillacCoupeDeVille. It was released in July 1955 as a #single by #ChessRecords, of #ChicagoIllinois. Berry's first hit.

  3. I have advice for people: no matter how successful you are in Rock 'n' Roll music and the Hall of Fame, remember that blues scales originated from hardship. Remember where we came from. Live humbly.

    Of course, there's no right answer in this game. Just a chance to share some great tunes.

  6. If you should see me walking through your dreams tonight
    Would you please direct me where I ought to be
    I've been looking for a crystal ball to shed a light
    To find a future in me
    To find a future in me

    Crystal Ball (1976)*
    -- Tommy Shaw / Styx

    * - Yep, this is the elusive 'lost verse' of Crystal Ball ... I suppose you could make an argument that it originated in 2016 (first time recorded, live by Tommy Shaw at a solo show), but the lyric itself was indeed born in 1975 (and the song released [via album] in 1976) ... any inaccuracies here can be chalked up to the mystery behind the lost verse and predictable interweb balderdash ...

  8. "Runaround Sue" is a #rockAndRoll song (in a modified #doowop style), originally a US No. 1 #Hot100 hit (No. 4 on the #HotRAndB chart) for the singer #Dion during 1961, after he split with #theBelmonts. It was written by Dion with #ErnieMaresca, and tells the story of a disloyal lover. The song ranked No. 351 on the #RollingStone list of "#The500GreatestSongsOfAllTime". In 2002, Dion was inducted into the #GrammyHallOfFame for "Runaround Sue".

  10. Guitar Wolf / The All-Seeing Eyes (live at New Cross Inn) The reason it works, always has worked, and just keeps working is that #GuitarWolf, like Motörhead, don’t fuck with the formula. And, like Motörhead, they take rock’n’roll, strip it back to its basics, and do it faster, louder and, most importantly, COOLER than anyone else. #livemusic #rockandroll pix: @davros23 freq.org.uk/reviews/guitar-wol

  15. #Sweet were pretty much my fave band when I was all of maybe five or six years old. Catchy hooks, solid grooves, and vocal harmonies that gave #Queen a run for their money. Methinks I had pretty good taste for a kid, eh? 🎶 👍 😁 #Music #RockAndRoll #ClassicRock #PopMusic #ClassicPop. mastodon.social/@indie1023_pla

  16. #Music #RockAndRoll

    I turned in late to the 2024 #RockAndRollHallOfFame (R&RHOF) awards show yesterday but watched most of it recorded on my #DVR.

    Really enjoyed the sets of #KoolAndtheGang & #DionneWarwick, #Foreigner, #Frampton & #OzzieOzborne.

    I know he has a large fan base & I like some of his songs but I didn't think #Buffet deserved the award.

    I've never been a #DaveMatthews fan -- even less so after I heard him & his band play -- & I question why they got the award too. 🤷‍♂️

    Liked how #Dionne said it was the 3rd time she was nominated & was about to tell them to "take their award & shove it" but was happy that they finally got it "right." For real . . . 👏

    Listening to Dionne on CD now. 🤗

    Seems like the R&RHOF pretty much admits anybody & everybody who ever had a hit record into the hall -- except Dionne until now.

    WTF??? 🤔

    Anyway, I've been to Cooperstown but never to the R&RHOF in Cleveland and, given where it's located, I doubt I ever will . . .

    but the music will always live on. 🙂
