It’s a new year! It’s a new president (as of tomorrow!) It’s even freakin’ SUNNY outside (in the Pacific Northwest in January!!! That’s weird even in the SUMMER!!!) What we NEED (what I need) is some FUN, UPBEAT, dancing around and enjoying the fact that we’re (mostly) still kicking music! (I should play “Alive and Kicking!” Maybe… Maybe…)
Here’s some TUNES. Just enjoy the VIBE….

Thanks for stopping by! If you liked any of these tunes, please consider BUYING them from the artists who created them. Don’t just listen to them on some streaming service. (I just read an article in which Gary Numan claims he had over a million plays of just ONE of his songs---and he got a check for 37 pounds. That’s about the same as four CDs or two new vinyl LPs… Seriously, the streaming services just don’t give a shit about the artists who make the music. If you want to support the folks who actually CREATE the stuff, try to make sure THEY get the money!) All of the songs in the playlist are for educational / appreciation purposes only! I’m trying to spread the joy AND maybe get some of these lesser known or forgotten tracks into people’s heads! You can help out by sharing this playlist for people who might enjoy it!)
THANKS!!!
---Richard F. Yates (Holy Fool)
