I'm making a party mix for a friend's Fourth of July party. She hired a band before, but this year: she asked me for music. Not for a chip or a dip but for music.
And I agreed. I always do that.
My mom will be at the party this year.
She and her brother played the best records when I was a kid. And that's inspires me.
I am screwing the Deadhead Dad who will complain no matter what (because it's not the Dead all the time) and I'll probably upset the work-out moms who want cheesy hip-hop bang-bang music.
It is so good to be the music maker.
I'm gonna include this tune from the brilliant Bo. I wish I made mention of his passing earlier.
Seriously friends, if this does not make you want to get up and shake it.... then, shit: I don't know what.

ReplyDeleteOh shit, sister! You are gonna have that whole party dancing like the girls at the top of those steps. Mmm, mmm, mmm!
ReplyDeleteOh do I love that video. Or tv flashback. I am waking Parker up right now so she can learn some new - I mean old - moves.
ReplyDeleteI didn't get up, but I did do a little chair-dancing.
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! Send me your whole playlist so I can copy it for future lamo parties.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your award. Reminder to self: Invite Ms. Picket for beer.

ReplyDeleteI'll bet with that music, your party will be a hell of a lot more fun than mine! Oh wait- I forgot, I'm not going to a party this weekend. So I guarantee your party will be more fun that mine with that music!
ReplyDeleteHip Hop bang bang music! Ha ha ha!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I have the Apple bottom Jeans song in my head.
Ha ha love it! For our wedding, J and I are thinking of throwing some terribly horrible music in just for fun!
ReplyDeleteI know I haven't been around here much, lifes crazy but I keep peaking in!
How about a little Etta James, "I got the will" it's a good one.
ReplyDeleteMy roommate for 3 years in college and I saw Bo play twice (and we met him buying a stack of LPs in Tower records once, too). Both times were the only time I ever saw my roommate dance. Thankfully, not with me b/c he was three inches taller and a lot hairer.
ReplyDeleteHey, thanks for stopping by Mayberry Magpie. I, too love Kristin and StartswithanX. I look forward to checking out your other recommendations.
ReplyDeleteYou music -- as my teenage daughter would say -- is da bomb. I don't know who that chick is playing with Bo, but she's some kinda hot. I want to be reincarnated as a guitar-playing hot 60s chick.
I'm leaving today for 10 days "off the grid" but I'll look forward to visiting again when I return. Happy 4th!

A classic is always a classic. Have fun.
