Re: It's Friday: Post some music that you like and want to share
Watched this last night - a bit long (12+ min but a great live and intimate performance by early Zeppelin. Wonderful to see the interplay between the members and how much space they gave each other.
Best comment: "These people were watching the Mona Lisa get painted"
And something more recent with a more soul/r&b vibe almost channeling Otis R.

Funny him saying "Hey, Don" right in the middle of him singing falsetto (2:35ish). That's about as early 70s a video as you can get. Big lapels, leisure suits and big, big hair. Every one of my Black friends carried a pick as standard equipment.

Catchy tune (Daft Punkish), humorous video, what's not to like? Don't let it put you off that this was done for the Duke U, library. The librarina/composer is a former MA in music composition.
Mabon Lewis "Teenie" Hodges (November 16, 1945 – June 22, 2014)[1] was an American musician known for his work as a rhythm and lead guitarist and songwriter on many of Al Green's soul hits, and those of other artists such as Ann Peebles and Syl Johnson, on Hi Records in the 1970s. His credits as a songwriter include "Take Me to the River", "Love and Happiness", "L-O-V-E (Love)", and "Here I Am (Come and Take Me)".

In yet another previous life, I worked in an inpatient Mental Health unit. There was a high burnout rate at the level where I worked (the "go wrestle that guy into the Behavior Control Room and try to not get bit" level).
The evening shift was usually keen on some afterwork R & R. This usually meant hanging out a somebody's house and the soundtrack had to be just so. The Ramones were the default go to. "I've Gone Mental", "Teenage Lobotomy", "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue" etc were good (and thematically correct) but my all-time favorite is this little number–

I had no idea you would have liked Jaco Pastorius. I had that album since the 70's and sold it recently to an LP store along with about 100+ other, similar (mostly obscure) albums.

Had no idea until about a year ago that it was his bass that was so distinctive in a lot of Joni Mitchell and Weather Report records of the era. Hope you got good money for the vinyl. I'd heard of him for years but only recently did I see some videos that could point out specifically why he was so ground breaking.
Obviously, there's stuff I like to listen to daily but I love coming across something different than my usual and being wonderfully surprised. The cool thing is that once you start going down the rabbit hole, how far you can go and how many genres you'll cross.
Nice blues tune: Don Bryant - Your love is to blame
Bluegrass: Tyler Childers - Long Violent History

St. Paul and The Broken Bones - Grass Is Greener
I loved Soul Train
Alan Thicke's Blurred Lines ripoff (NSFW) probably helped this song get re-discovered.

Silly me. Life goes by so quickly these days I can't keep up from one day to the next. For every guitar player out there. EVH
Not Friday, but appropriate for today, I think.

Can I post a dancer?
Such a great song– opening guitar licks with Hammond organ & Leslie speaker riff just make you feel right.

Not Friday but.

We'll allow it.
As I've said before, the Friday thing is more to keep me restrained...
