Since we have a "Hippie Thread" going...
I will start and add some stuff on here about the music of the eras..
Not necessarily just Hippie music.. but "oldies"..
Just some that will allow you to walk back through Memory Lane.
Isn't it funny how you can hear a song and it will super sonic speed you immediately to that time in your life when you were hearing it for the first time or when an event was taking place and the song was playing....?
I relate a song with just about everything in my life..
Got to u-tube.. do a search for your favorite songs.. post the links ( you can click on the links to listen to them of course) but I will do my very best to embed them for you on here. Hopefully we'll have a whole jukebox full of favorites...
( Please be patient as I will be away from the computer alot during the next week.. but I'll do my best to make it easier for you to listen to "the music" and embed them as I can.
Okay.. I hav about an hour before my next appt.. soooooo let me start this off with a bunch..Maybe it will trigger ideas for some that you remember liking. :)
Who hasn't harmonized sang along with these guys.. :)Perfect unmatched harmony.......awesome still today........
Nights of White Satin reminded me of this..
One of my favorites..
Remembering dancing at the Howard Fair building with Robert Sharp on this song.. LOLHouse of the Rising Sun... The Animals
My gosh..................These songs just blast me straight to the past..............
Don't tell me it doesn't do the same to you................. ;D
Time for some country. ;D

This tells a story...
(memory) Mark and I and a bunch of friends were at Hula Lake for the weekend and a group of our motorcycle friends from California were with us. They had a banjo, and guitar with them. They took those out and this was the first song they played & sang. They were good. The park ranger came by at 10 and said it was quiet time..but ended up setting down with all of us and letting them play until 11:00.
25 yrs ... This video is in memory of WAYLON JENNINGS - Also dedicated to his wife, JESSE COLTER and his wonderful friend WILLIE NELSON...
and this one gets me every time...I think it was one of ray's last performances.......even ol' Willie almost looses it near the end when Ray is singin'.....
I love to jitterbug too.........
Rock-a-Billy Rocks!
Buddy HollyOhhhh I think still.. to this day..I'm going to faint!
Is there anyone that doesn't love Patsy Cline..........

The 70's...........Lord have mercy!~~~
Bob Segar......
We saw him in concert in the 70's.. Long long hair. Rock and Rolled to a full packed stadium.. and we were in the 12th row.. My god, the memories.......... ;D
.. Man..he was awesome....Turn the Page.Old time Rock and Roll, ((wicked! )) ;D
Nutbush City LimitsKatmanduSaw Heart in concert too............What a party!! ;D
Saw these guys too... ( complete with a cigarette lighter... held high) *remember those days?* :)
Doobie Brothers
There's some wild memories attached to this one.. ;D
Bad CompanyYep.. these guys too... Had tickets for seats but ended up standing on the floor in front. 8)
FirefallSaw these guys when they were touring with Kansas ..
Foreigner.....Cold as Ice
Kansas!! What a kick ass concert!
Remember Southern Rock?
Marshal Tucker Band
Charlie Danials.. Long Haired Country BoyOzark Mountain Daredevils...
OMG!!! I've died and gone to heaven. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
Larryj
THIS song has so many memories attached to it that I could write a book.. LOL
This is not my favorite Johnny Cash song: I like his classics, but it is his last big video before he died. It is a cover song of a group called Nine Inch Nails, who are called an industrial rock group. (I have no idea what that means). Other than being a great video by Johnny I would say I can't think of any video that has fans from Country to Industrial rock. I know some utes that would never listen to country that got turned on to Johnny Cash. I can't think of a bigger crossover song. Just proves how great of an Entertainer Johnny was.
Hurt by the incomparable Johnny Cash, the man in black. Always an outlaw and innovator.

* Now here's a memory*
The first time Mark kissed me was in his Thunderbird.. in front of my house.. after school...
First time I looked at him as anything other than my best friend and "brother"...
and yep... Frankie V and the 4 Seasons were on the 8 tract.. ;D
Teresa thanks for embedding these for us. I love everything you have posted. I think we have the same music library. I love this thread.
John Anderson: Seminole wind
Keith Whitley ~ I'm No Stranger To The Rain
Wanted to find all of these.. but maybe this is a taste of each..
Keith Whitley tears my heart out! I loved his music.
Dahum.... makes you want to set in a Honkey Tonk Saloon..grab some beer and cry in it.. ;DThis was the golden-maned master's last appearance on the TV program "Opry Live." He was introduced on the stage of the Opry that evening by Bill Anderson and gave a masterful rendition of his first #1, "Don't Close Your Eyes," and an emotionally-charged performance of "I Never Go Around Mirrors."After Keith's death, Lorrie Morgon. ( his wife) did the voice over. The results are nice!
( Fred Osborn and I used to sing this song together) :)
Since I'm not good at putting videos on this thing (I've just failed miserably), I'll just list my fav's:
Moody Blues: In Your Wildest Dreams and I Know You're Out There Somewhere
Barry Manilow: Somewhere Down the Road and Mandy
Dido: White Flag
Carly Simon: She's Got You and You're So Vain
Reba McEntire: If I Had Only Known
Cher: Believe
???: Dream Weaver
There are so many that it's hard to choose...But these are some that get to me.
Cat, if it's the Dream Weaver I'm thinking of, it was Gary Wright who sang it.
Teresa, thanks for posting the Johnny Cash video of the NIN song. I was one who grew up hearing Johnny sing, but never really appreciated his music until recently. I think it's great he sang a Trent Reznor song. People often overlook very good lyrics because the music doesn't appeal to them. I happen to like NIN (but I'm weird that way LOL) but I also understand why a lot of folks over the age of 30 wouldn't.
As a side note to this topic, I attended a meeting in El Dorado today and listened to KINZ (I think those are the call letters) on the radio and talk about a blast from the past! Just a few of the songs I got to hear again for the first time in many years: Green-Eyed Lady by Sugarloaf (had to Google that one!), You're 16 by Ringo Starr, My Love by Paul McCartney, Copperhead Road by Steve Earle (LOVE Steve Earle!) Don't Look Back by Boston (who is VERY popular again), Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys Knight and the Pips (Woohoo! train whistle...LOL) a Bruce Springsteen cover of Pink Cadillace and a Van Halen cover of You Really Got Me. I car-danced all the way there and back....LOL I can't say that any of them were particularly favorites of mine (other than Ringo and Steve Earle) but it was great fun to hear them again.

Catwoman all you need to do is go to youtube.com and find a video that you like and want Teresa to "embed" so that we can all see it. All you have to do is once you find the video is to post the URL or location that shows up in the top of your browser. I happen to love Dream Weaver too. I will post the link for you below. I love Dido too. I just want to say thanks again Teresa for embedding the videos for us I know it is a lot of work, I promise I will keep my requests to a minimum.

The Doors, The Band, Kansas, Eagles, Alabama, Johnny Cash, Waylon, Willie, Keith Whitley, Beach Boys, Dick Dale, Moody Blues, No Doubt, Evanescence, REO Speedwagon, Journey, Boston, Dido, David Gray, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Santana, Black Oak Arkansas, Herb Alpert, Bill Chase-Chase, Chicago, Sam Cooke, Taylor Swift, George Jones, Lorrie Morgan, John Anderson, George Strait, Chris Isaak, ELO, The Who, Nat King Cole, America, Patsy Cline, LeAnn Rhimes, Gwen Stefani and many many more.
David
p.s. I have to mention BB King, Neil Young, and Amanda Marshall. Amanda Marshall is a Canadian almost unknown outside of Canada . If you like Dido, Sarah MacLachlan, or Kansas girl Martina McBride and a great voice you will like Amanda Marshal. My best unknown recommendation.

There was one that was "Purple something" that was quite popular in '45. Wish I could remember the rest of the name.
Wasn't that 'Deep Purple', I think I remember it in my Moms' sheet music.
Annnddd---how about Heartbreak Hotel? Early Elvis, just about as good as it gets, or Blue Suede Shoes? Many a nickle was spent by yours truly on those two songs.
Neil Young~ Cinnamon Girl
Dr. Hook~ Cover of Rollin Stone
Boston~ Don't Look Back
Nazareth~ Hair of the Dog and Love Hurts
Deep Purple~ Smoke on the Water
All of em make me think of cruisin on summer nights, days swimmin at the rock quarry, street races, hangin out.....best times....AC/DC, Steve Miller, Journey, Def Leopard, .......and Indy I like NIN too and I'm just a hair over 30 LOL That Johnny Cash song is one of my alltime favorites too.

One of my favorites..................... ;) ............... Isn't she absolutely clock stop gorgeous?? My god... She pretty much has it all.. looks voice... :)
I love that first video of Miss Underwood, too...
A powerful song about the effects of war on soldiers once they return home and try to adjust to the mundane realities of a free society. Could be about any soldier from any war.
:'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
Colin Raye recently shot a music video at Papago Park, AR. Military Reservation for his song, "A Soldier's Prayer".
