Random Musings:
Did you know – Music fans obviously know the group Nirvana from the 1990’s, but did you know there was also a pop group from the 1960’s named Nirvana?
Notable Singles released this month – Louis Armstrong – What a Wonderful World /// The Monkees – Daydream Believer
Childhood Memory – I was pretty young in the 1970’s but I watched a lot of Saturday Night Live. I remember The Blues Brothers performing the song “Soul Man” on SNL and I loved it! I have to give credit to the Blues Brothers for helping to introduce me to soul music, which has become one of my favorite genres.
