After years of posting what I suspect are now considered “oldies” for Music Monday posts, I’ll at least start 2019 with a change.

Shifting back into the "oldies" mode, here’s a Music Monday song that practically everyone knows from Gary Wright. The Dream Weaver is a 1975 hit recently being used in an insurance advertisement.

When I saw this photo from […]

As usual the guys from the Lexington Lab Band (including a talented high school friend Rob Pottorf) have produced another outstanding music video highlighting a band which started during the 1970s, Steely Dan. Their efforts might not be the creative talent some are looking for, but these guys really do know how to expertly perform […]
