Weekend Music This is rather late for the usual weekend music post, because I’ve been busy with Thanksgiving-related activities, and I was just going to skip doing it this week, but my friend Robert sent me a link to this appreciation of the Lionel Hampton/Sonny Burke/Johnny Mercer song “Midnight Sun,” including a clip of Ella…

Weekend Music Well, the music by married couples, or bands including married couples, theme has pretty much run its course. I’m down to couples who weren’t happily married and got divorced long ago, and/or whose music I’m not that crazy about. I’m afraid I never liked Fleetwood Mac a great deal, at least in their…

This particular recording was very…

Weekend Music The guitar player and the drummer are married. This is an amusing video, but the song is minimized. To really hear the music, try this one, but the audio on it is significantly louder, so you might want to turn it down a little first.
