http://whiteraysmusings.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html

(Probably also a place to talk about most types of music as well as baseball history and some politics.). Friday, August 10, 2007. Good Rockin’ Tonight. Lost in the 80s. The Hits Just Keep On Comin’. The Stepfather of Soul. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

December | 2013 | Got The Fever
https://gotthefever.wordpress.com/2013/12
Not just the hit singles, but the hidden gems within the album. Archive December, 2013. Ah, those times when quaffing a few dozen, and more, was the way to buzz in a new year! Start strong with the heavy stuff, amplify the tone with a streaming torrent of favored brew, toss back a plastic cup of semi-cheap champagne at the shout of ‘Happy New Year’ and finish it out with cheers, the remainder of what ever is left in the bottle(s), and a hazy, swerving ride home. That they were grafted from. Why, of cours...

Sir Douglas Quintet | Got The Fever
https://gotthefever.wordpress.com/2014/02/05/sir-douglas-quintet
Not just the hit singles, but the hidden gems within the album. Everything is cancelled today because of the snow. You can look out and tell that we’re getting walloped, not just because of the rate that it’s falling, but from the color of the sky. Know when you look up when it’s snowing and the sky is as white as the snow? It was Mark that turned me on to the Sonics. Strychnine, the Leaves. Hey Joe, the Shadows of Knight. Bad Little Woman, early Raiders. I’m Not Your) Steppin Stone, the Seeds. But what ...

Not just the hit singles, but the hidden gems within the album. Archive October, 2013. Peering into the dark auditorium, lights in face, blowing into microphone). One truism that we follow here at Got The Fever. Is that you don't have to love ANY band OR time period - but there is an incontrovertible truth: a lot of bands have at least a few tracks that can move someone in one way or another. Those are what we try to highlight here. My previous home, up to 08/10, is at. Go and romp on past posts.

Salt In The Eyes: Styx | Got The Fever
https://gotthefever.wordpress.com/2014/02/16/salt-in-the-eyes-styx
Not just the hit singles, but the hidden gems within the album. Salt In The Eyes: Styx. Where did it all go so wrong for Styx. Then came 1981’s ‘Paradise Theater’, a golden example of a band making the choice to move away from their bread and butter and taking themselves much too seriously. Come on, seriously, The Best of Times’? I still enjoy listening to Styx every so often, especially The Grand Illusion. And they then turned the blender filled blasé into a stage show. However, the video oy! Enter your...

January | 2011 | Got The Fever
https://gotthefever.wordpress.com/2011/01
Not just the hit singles, but the hidden gems within the album. Archive January, 2011. A Surprise to the Speakers: ELO. I was never one to continue to listen to whole ELO. Albums after they were bought, but man could they come out with pop gold singles. They had so many major hits that I think a lot of us forget the many tracks that were ‘minor’ hits for them. And,. The Diary of Horace Wimp. Is one of those. Don’t be afraid, just knock on the door. Then a voice from above said:. Make a stand and be a man.
