The Womenfolk: Bring Me A Rose

Love: Maybe the People Would Be the Times or Between Clark and Hilldale

Rediscovering a wonderful old psychedelic rock band is one of my favorite things!

The Monday's Music theme today is Freebie, which is great for me. I'm all about being free!

Monday's Music: Top 40 Hits From 1963

Hi, I'm DJ Rose. The cool tattoo shown above is on someone else's arm. I actually don't have any tattoos, but if I did, I'd like one similar to this one.

The theme for this week appears to be top 40 hits from the rock and roll era. I was born February 14, 1963, which makes me an old Rose. I've chosen the top five songs from February 1963. I hope you enjoy them!

Five UN Friday

Click the Big Five to play along.

I read a poem about unrequited love, and when I saw the Five on Friday prompt, I thought of several songs that have a word beginning with "un" in the title. So today I present Five Un Friday for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!

Music Monday/Monday's Music Moves Me: Celebration and Truth

The theme for today's Monday's Music Moves Me and Music Monday is a song of celebration and a song that describes ourselves. The first is a song celebrating the summer solstice.

Here is a lesser known song by Elton John which describes how misunderstood I tended to feel in my youth. Depressive with an interest in the "supernatural" and the "occult," sure didn't fit in with the local church youth group. Believe me, the rumors flew. 
Like Lady Samantha, I was "harmless and empty of anything bad." I guess the rumors about me being a blood sucking fiend from beyond the grave were more interesting than the reality that I was just a shy, lonely young woman with a vivid imagination who happened to like wearing black.

I still like wearing black, and while it's nice to be understood, if people don't want to make the effort, I'm not going to do bend over backwards trying to make them like me. I've got better things to do with my time.

KHEL 666 Information: Biology of the Human Eye

I wanted to post a response to Tempest's video share about how to perform a physical exam. I found this video describing the structure of the eye in lay-person's terms. It contains a lot of pretty imagery.
The comments suggestion makes me fear for the state of humanity. How does a discussion of video about the structure of the eye devolve into some sort of verbal holy war?

Never mind, here are The Doors to make it all better.

F is for Folk

 A few Folkers from the 20th century Folk Revival period. I could listen to this stuff all day!

The following comes from the Wikipedia entry:

 Folk music includes both traditional music and the genre that evolved from it during the 20th century folk revival. The term originated in the 19th century but is often applied to music that is older than that. Some types of folk music are also called world music.

Traditional folk music has been defined in several ways: as music transmitted by mouth, as music of the lower classes, and as music with unknown composers. It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. One meaning often given is that of old songs, with no known composers; another is music that has been transmitted and evolved by a process of oral transmission or performed by custom over a long period of time.

Starting in the mid-20th century a new form of popular folk music evolved from traditional folk music. This process and period is called the (second) folk revival and reached a zenith in the 1960s. This form of music is sometimes called contemporary folk music or folk revival music to distinguish it from earlier folk forms.

Devoted Spirits: Who Knows

Hello boys and girls! I'm DJ Sexy Sadie. Thanks to The Cheese for inviting me to virtual DJ here at KHEL 666.
Very briefly about me: I was born November 22, 1968 in Manila but have lived in the U.S. since the age of 7. I am happily married to my high school sweetheart. We have two lovely daughters, ages 24 and 18.
I really love the sounds of the 60's and into the early to mid 70's. I am okay with Disco, but what I really like is rock and soul from these decades. I'm not saying there isn't some good music that has come out in the past 10 years, but a lot of it makes me want to stuff cotton in my ears!

The featured piece is from the 2004 release Power of Soul: A Tribute to Jimi Hendrix by Devoted Spirits. The complete track list can be found here.

Devoted Spirits is a band made up of former Earth, Wind and Fire members Sheldon Reynolds (guitar, vocals and production), Larry Dunn (keyboards) and Morris Pleasure (keyboards, bass and trumpet). You can read more on their Soul Tracks page.

I hope you enjoy the track. I am going to look for some more music on this sleepless night!

Take care.

Love,
Sexy Sadie

Five Songs From 1961

Here are five songs from the year my older sister was born (1961) for Five on Friday.

 



This one's a twofer: Don't Jump Off the Roof Dad and How Come There's No Dog Day?

More British comedy with Benny Hill

The McCoys: Hang on Sloopy

The third one has the best sound quality. Too bad the uploader had to go on about the dancer's boobs as if she didn't have any other qualities, like, you know, a personality or a brain. Ugh. Some things never change.

A little hint, fellows. If you want females to take you at all seriously, don't talk about women as if all we are is tits and ass. When you do that, you sound like you're permanently stuck in junior high. "Uhh....TITS!...Duh!"

The Misunderstood: Keep On Runnin'

This is my first time doing a Ruby Tuesday, so I thought it was fitting to play one of my favorite songs that I grew up with, and still love today.
