REUNION NOSTALGIA - Music That Rocked You Back When


This week's Old School Friday Theme is Family Reunions. Unfortunately I have never been to a family reunion! But, I can put a twist on this too (Ms Marva, did you expect anything different from me?)

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:
