957. Five for Fighting - 100 Years

I know this is a complete 180 from the previous song.  I hesitated including this, as I don't really love it, but it is tied a nice memory.  Some of you that have "known" me here for a while are aware of the medical issues my wife was fighting for years, and the turnaround she made a few years ago.  Last year was probably one of the best years of my life, based on all the things we were able to do as a family. One of those things was taking to the kids to some local 4th of July festival where Five for Fighting was playing.  We made them stand near the front right in front of speakers to get a real "concert" experience.  This song reminds me of that day, and really represents a new beginning for us.

But how bad is Five for Fighting?  Not only did we see them at a free concert in suburban midwest America, they weren't even the headliner!  They opened for The Fray.

:heart: reaction was for the story, not the song.  Beautiful.

956. Giving Tree Band - Circles
Click to expand...
This is fabulous.  I'd never heard of this band and don't know how I'd missed them.  Was just reading their Wiki page and found these parts pretty cool:

The Giving Tree Band is also known for its great environmental stewardship and eco-friendly music production.  They use a number of instruments that were handmade from naturally fallen trees and reclaimed woods.

In 2008, the band set out to record a carbon-neutral album, which was done at the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center in Baraboo, Wisconsin.  The album was released in 2009, and was entitled Great Possessions, which was the working title of conservationist Aldo Leopold's book, A Sand County Almanac.  It was recorded with 100% solar energy at the Aldo Leopold Legacy Center in Baraboo, WI.

Oh wow.  So many memories of Phoenix Hill.  We always went there to dance.  Didn't matter what was playing.  I don't recall coming across shuke or Big I there.

Well - young lady - all I can say, is that you are fortunate...very fortunate - to have never come across the Big I in his glory days. 

However, you need to post a dancing vid of yous, now that we knows you have legs. 💃

Will catch up here soon. Busy day - yesterday.

Love the horns in this.

Really enjoyed this one.  Too bad it's not a more popular song with a karaoke version out there, as I think I know someone who could do an awesome cover of it.

Thanks for the recommendations.  But why are you surprised?

Most people I come in contact with don't possess a real interest in a wide variety of music. As we know Russell is down in the alley country/blues.  From your other stuff I didn't see that.
