Music Trivia
Today’s
musical group is a band from the 1960s – 1970s, my favorite decades for
music. To tell you the truth, I have
been listening to this album the last few weeks at work, almost on a daily
basis, and it still has not gotten old. The band was formed by the first three
original members, Danny Hutton, Cory Wells, and Chuck Negron as the lead
singers, and were backed by background singers and musicians they hired to
round out their band.
|
From 1969-1974, nobody had more Top Ten hits, moved
more records, or sold more concert tickets. As of 2011, this band continues to
top the list of artists with the best Billboard Top 100 Chart average! During this period, this
band was undoubtedly the most popular band in America with twenty-one
consecutive Top 40 hits and twelve straight gold LPs. By late '75, they had
sold nearly 50 million records.
With
#1 hits in the US such as, “One” (is the Loneliest Number), “Joy to the World”
and “Mama Told Me Not to Come”, all three had featured different lead singers.
Other hits included, “Black and White”, “Eli’s Coming”, “An Old Fashioned Love
Song”, “Never Been to Spain”, “Shambala”, “The Show Must Go On”, and “Sure As
I’m Sittin’ here”, all of which were cover songs written by outside
songwriters.
Still
making live appearances today, can you name this iconic American rock and roll
band?

Current
Stuff
I
have been watching the Winter Olympic games each evening that I record usually
the evening before (Did I ever mention I hate watching commercials?), and the
trick to that is to avoid hearing the news so not to ruin the excitement of
watching it recorded. I saw American downhill skier Bode Miller had some issues
on his downhill run and fell back in the standings ruining his medal chances in
that discipline. I believe he is also
going to do the Giant Slalom or 3G or whatever title they give it now. I think
the 3G is between Downhill & GS. Anyway, good luck to him in that endeavor.
I also fast forward through the figure skating and ice dancing stuff because I
have no interest in those at all. I also have not much desire to see all the
human-interest stories. Most of us have our own human-interest stories to contend
with. Saw some Luge runs last night, which I enjoyed as well as some Women
Snowboarding events. That one Czech girl took a nasty shot to the head and
cracked her helmet, which was quite dramatic. I hope she is okay in the long
run. Headshots can do some damage, I for
one know that well. They can come back to haunt you.
I
had a nice dialog last night with Tim B via messaging. Seems like we have a lot of similar interests
and I look forward to seeing him soon, if not next year some time. Plus, I like
owe this dude some serious drinks for winning all those the music trivia games,
even though I had to pretty much spoon-feed him answers with a new game he was
playing last night. And, I thought it was a pretty easy one at that! Keep playing, Tim! You are a pretty tough guy
to stump! J
Road
Trip Planning
As
most of you know, we are planning our US road trip for next year. What you may
be aware of is that we are looking for anyone who is interested in traveling
along with us for part of the trip. I know some folks work for themselves or
they have flexibility in their work schedules. Maybe there is a part of the US
you would like to see and travel through? Maybe you have been there before and
would like to revisit it? Maybe there is a National Park that you always wanted
to visit? Yosemite? Yellowstone? The New England area? The Appalachian
Mountains? The Florida Keys? Well, my friends, this could be your chance, maybe
your once in a lifetime chance to do just that! Let us know your thoughts and
what you desire to do and where you would like to visit. The world can be your oyster, and this could
be your chance! Just let us know if youre interested and we can try to work it
into our schedule.
As
Snoopy always says… Bark Less and Wag More!
Until
next time… Be Good!
