May be the first 3/4-time song I had to learn. Also a good, long while ago. Wasn't in the house band, but regular rotation every weekend.

Title: Re: Worth noting
Post by: cozmik_cowboy on March 11, 2026, 07:39:58 PM: Yeah, me too; I knew I knew the name, I just had no idea where from.
When I was driving from my college in IL to my then-GF's university in OH in my Spitfire (perhaps on occasion with my old pal Bennie co-driving, to make the parallel complete.........), "Radar Love" seemed to always come on the radio about 01:00 just as I crossed the IN-OH line ("No more speed, I'm almost there!").
I mean, every time! Love that song.

My bad.

Peter
Title: Re: Worth noting
Post by: David Houck on March 14, 2026, 10:44:38 AM: That's okay; Billy Sherwood is a multi-instrumentalist and is multi-talented, so it's okay if he gets two days in a row since he frequently shows up doing two or more jobs on the same album.

Post by: lbpesq on March 20, 2026, 02:54:08 PM: It's unfortunate that many would have to look up Sister Rosetta Tharpe, an unsung original creator of rock 'n roll. Here's one of her tunes. Swing over to the "What Are You Listening To Now" thread where I just posted a one hour documentary on the Sister.

Bill, tgo
Title: Re: Worth noting
Post by: David Houck on March 20, 2026, 04:23:02 PM: I did not have to look up Sister Rosetta Tharpe. As Bill says, she's one of the earliest pioneers of rock & roll.
