Musical Journeys...
Yesterday was a crazy Friday with lots of interruptions. I'll attribute this mostly due to the full moon. Expected afternoon rains had the streets flooded and everyone in the office cleared out before 5pm. A handful of guys in the warehouse were loading trucks for a Saturday delivery and they were gone by 8 pm. I stayed late finishing a bid promised out by the end of the day.
I usually don't play music while working, but all the calculations were done, the only thing needed was to write up the cost proposal and add those numbers from a spreadsheet.
Earlier in the week, a friend and I were talking about the original 1967 lineup of the British band Fleetwood Mac. I only knew the bassist John McVie as he played with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers featuring Eric Clapton. Side note - that album was iconic as every guitarist in my circle of musicians copied Clapton's licks!
We were able to call up a few old videos where singer Stevie Nicks was a backup singer to other artists work. Fleetwood Mac like so many other bands had members join for a short stay and leave, often to follow solo careers. In 1974, singer/guitarist Lindsey Buckingham was hired on the condition his girlfriend Stevie Nicks would be hired too!
That decision was the formula for musical success and through all the ego fights, affairs, divorces, solo projects and reunions, 30 years of 'what I call' Fleetwood Mac existed.
In April on 2018 Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood had a disagreement about contract for a tour and Buckingham was dismissed. Mike Campbell (who performed with Tom Petty) and Neil Finn (from Crowded House) were hired on and Fleetwood Mac was on the road again.
One of the awesome things about hiring successful musicians is they get to play their hit songs in the current bands lineup, adding another facet to the music.
I caught a live performance (video) of Fleetwood Mac with Neil Finn that's worth a listen!

Hey now...
YouTube videos Of me and music I created, might put a couple here in music.
This one is a free jam on my flamenco acoustic guitar... it’s like a classical guitar with different wood to make it sound brighter. That’s what I heard..

Ric Ocasek, lead singer of new-wave band The Cars, found dead in NYC apartment, police say
I just got home and heard about this. The Cars were an awesome band! My Favorite song and video from them had to be "Drive" in 1984.
Ric Ocasek, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame singer whose popular new-wave band, The Cars, helped define the sound of rock music in the late 1970s and '80s, was found dead in his New York City apartment on Sunday, a police spokesman told Fox News. Ocasek was 75.
His estranged wife, supermodel Paulina Porizkova, found him unresponsive Sunday afternoon at his home in Manhattan's Gramercy Park neighborhood, sources told the New York Post, adding that he apparently died of natural causes. Police said there was no sign of foul play.
The Cars' self-titled 1978 debut album was a smash hit, boosted by singles including "Just What I Needed." The album helped lead the way for new wave's influence on rock music throughout the following decade.
The band's 1981 single "Shake It Up" hit #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, while 1984's "Drive" hit #3.
"I liked songwriters, I was always attracted to people like Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Gene Vincent in the '50s, and when the '60s came, of course I loved The Beatles, but I also loved the Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart, and Frank Zappa," Ocasek told The Vinyl District earlier this year. "I certainly always loved a good pop song. I always liked great songs, and it didn’t matter if it was from the Carpenters or Lou Reed. As long as they were done well and they weren’t corny or fake."
The band broke up in the late-'80s, as Ocasek embarked on a solo career. His 1986 single "Emotion in Motion" was Ocasek's only song to crack the Top 40 without The Cars behind him.
Ocasek and Porizkova were married for 28 years before their breakup last year. They were said to have met while The Cars recorded the music video for "Drive."
The Cars were inducted in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2018, an occasion that saw the band perform together for the first time in years -- but without co-founder Benjamin Orr, who died in 2000.
Ocasek, in a Rolling Stone interview, described the performance as "a good cap on the bottle" of his career, which also included painting in his later years.
"It’s kind of weird because it’s like a lifetime. It is a lifetime. I had three families during that time. They are like lives that go by and millions of people and things and artists and writers and business people and fans. … It’s a lot of stuff. It’s been a pretty eventful life, I can say."

Last night at the Irish festival held in Marbella I finally got the oportunity to see Finbar Furey an Irish legend. It was a wonderful night, he is amazing on stage and off.
This is not my video so thanks to who uploaded it on youtube.

J-POP...
YouTube has endless selections of Japanese Popular music (J-POP for short) and most are headed up by all girl bands. I came across one group BAND-MAID, five young women wearing sexy maid costumes.
At first, I thought their instruments were props... typical of some American bands that had real musicians behind the scenes while they pranced around the stage... not to say that there aren't any like that in Japan. BAND-MAID can hold their own with real talent.
I've listened to a few of their songs and amazed how good they perform!
Typical of many Japanese bands, their music is sung in Japanese and every once in a while there is a phrase in English.
"I've gotta be on my way"

What did we do wrong?
When Satan gave us country music, what was it exactly that we did to deserve it?
