This is also the time of year that school reunions start popping up. So, forgive me for twisting this theme so hard it squeeked but I had no choice! And besides my long time friends from high school are my family now. In fact, this year I'll be attending my 40th High School Reunion - or avoiding it, I haven't decided which yet, lol.
BTW, this is also the 40th Anniversary of the original Woodstock Festival which I attended so that's kind of a family reunion for me too!
And what other music could I choose for this topic but our favorite cruisin' music - the songs we blasted from our cars as we cruised our favorite hang-outs way back in the day? Why, none other than these classics from the Class of '69 and the original Woodstock - these are just a few of the songs that would have been played at any family reunion that I hosted:
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL (CCR!) and GREEN RIVER:
THE DOORS - LIGHT MY FIRE
JIMI HENDRIX - PURPLE HAZE live from the stage at WOODSTOCK:
THE BEATLES - YELLOW SUBMARINE
JANIS JOPLIN - PIECE OF MY HEART from WOODSTOCK, 1969:
and - LIKE JOE COCKER - I get by WITH A LITTLE HELP FROM MY FRIENDS:

Umm hmm someone went all out on this one. :) I can definitely get with The Doors, Hendrix and Janice, sounds like a party to me. ;-)
Happy OSF!
Janis Joplin! Hendrix! I'd like to be a fly on the wall at your reunion. Happy OSF!
That is one ride I would enjoy, I wish I could have experienced Woodstock. I just saw a video, and Woodstock had so many people there. I was amazed at how many North-Westerners came to see Obama, but that pails in comparison with Woodstock. Every song you chose is a classic, my favorite is the Doors. I discovered them late in life, when I watched a movie about Jim Morrison, and from that one moment I was hooked. I had to find everything The Doors.
I grew up on Jimi, and Beatles are one of my favorite all time groups. I didn't realize how many hits they had until I saw Across the Universe. Songs I didn't even know were the Beatles.
Great Post!!!
HeyShae - it was a party in '69 and it will always be THE party, lol
Verite - I swat flies - come as you are, please - LOL
MrsGrapevine - Honestly, Woodstock was a mudhole with no food or potties for civilized folk - but it's a great conversation starter. . .
You always put an interesting twist on the theme. CCR is the bomb.
Happy OSF, Diva
You really picked some goodies here girl! CCR - WOW. I always get quite nostalgic when I visit your OSF, great memories of my Dad. :)
No, I would not expect anything different at all!
I love these choices! Anything with Janis Joplin, Hendrix, and CCR is alright with me!
WOw, you really liked this weeks theme!..I LOVE IT!!
YOU GOT ME GROOVING while I am typing..wonderful choices..
Onelove..iriegal
Hey Girlfriend! You hit home with me! A family is what you make it, I have been to many a family reunion, but never felt as comfortable or at home with those other than my closest and dearest friends. Great venture down memory lane and happy OSF!
HagarsD - I always seem to have to tweak the theme a bit, lol. This week I had to think of other types of reunions since I've never been to a family reunion, lol.
soularodisiac - CCR was probably the best cruisin' music ever - that and the long version of Light My Fire. My girlfriend and I had a whole route set up for the long version of LIght My Fire, lol.
Marvalus - different? c'est mois? Non! Yup they were classics.
iriegal - Glad you got your groove on!
Pjazzy - for me family is what I make it now - my friends didn't beat me up as a kid either like my siblings, lol.
Can't go back to my HS near Chicago for a multi-class reunion last weekend, celebrating a major anniversary of our school. This is the next best thing to being there. Thanks, Pop Art!
Joyce - If you wanted to go I'm sorry you can't - I sit here right now debating whether or not I want to go to my 40th HS reunion. . .
