] Date Posted: 17:40:56 07/17/06 Mon In reply to: Becky Stobaugh Waldo 's message, "Favorite Songs" on 01:46:55 07/09/06 Sun Thanks, Becky, for initiating this. The songs mentioned so far were and still are some of my favorites. I even liked Kevin's picks! Here are three more that might be worthy: Eagles "Desperado" Steely Dan "Reeling in the Years" or "Do It Again" Bob Dylan "Knocking on Heaven's Door" An honorable mention could be: Todd Rundgren "Hello, It's Me" which I heard the other day and had forgotten how good it was. Or, Edgar Winter Group "Frankenstein" which I was introduced to by our late friend, Jim Terminella. I'd love to see what Greg Carlton would put on his list. He'd never get it down to three either!

Date Posted: 18:09:25 07/17/06 Mon Richie, Would You believe: "Smoke On the Water," Deep Purple "Paranoid," Black Sabbath "25 or 6 to 4," Chicago "Mississippi Queen," Mountain: The only decent song Leslie West ever wrote became a rock anthem. You know,Becky and Darrell. Lionel Owens, Danny Watts, Malia Harden and I all attended the Grand Funk concert in Little Rock that "American Band" was based on. Correct me if I'm wrong, Malia.

Date Posted: 07:56:22 07/18/06 Tue I knew you couldn't name just three! Those are some great songs too. Chicago has to be in there somewhere. I'm glad you still like the heavier stuff, Greg. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 12:57:57 07/18/06 Tue You know I probably could have named 50 more songs, Richie. What about "Aqualung" by Jethro Tull, or "Whole Lotta Love" by Led Zeppelin. And wasn't "La Grange" by ZZ Topp played during '72 or '73? You were right in choosing "Frankenstein," that was hugely popular. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 21:34:20 07/18/06 Tue Greg, I remember you leaving school early to go to that concert, you had that note from Dr. Kirby that said you were going to be sick and needed to leave. BUT, I thought it was a Glen Campbell concert, not Grand Funk. Are you sure it wasn't? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 15:31:57 07/19/06 Wed Actually, you're right Richie. Glen Campbell was the back up act and sang "By the Time I Get To Phoenix," followed by Grand Funk Railroad opening with fireworks and "We're An American Band." It ended with a duet with Mark Farner and Campbell singing "Wichita Lineman." It made me cry. P.S. I'm going to find another dentist. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 07:54:59 07/19/06 Wed Richie A., glad to know that you "even liked Kevin's picks!" What, did you expect Tony Orlando's "Knock Three Times?" Greg, regarding your second tier choice of Aqualung, Jethro Tull (at least the modified version) is alive and playing. I attended their concert here in Dallas last year. There were some pretty strange people there (present company excluded, of course). And finally, for you trivia buffs, especially those who selected "We're An American Band", " "sweet, sweet Connie" from Little Rock was a real person--she sat next to me in my second year literature class at UALR. Not very scholarly, but I suspect that is not why Grand Funk sang about her "last night in Little Rock." [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:46:46 07/19/06 Wed Kevin, What a small world...."Sweet, sweet Connie" is the first cousin of one of my very best friends that I have known since college. You are right about Connie not being known for her scholarly apptitude. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 18:16:44 07/19/06 Wed These are the three songs that remind me of our senior year of high school: 1. Love Train by the O'Jays. 2. Brandy (You're a Fine Girl) by Looking Glass 3. Dueling Banjos by Eric Weissberg & Steve Mandell Every time that Coors Silver Bullet commercial plays Love Train, I can't help but think of our senior year. My vote for most screwed up song: In the Summertime by Mongo Jerry. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 06:12:17 07/20/06 Thu Good choices, Michael, but I did not realize you were an "anti-Mongoite." Personally, I like the whimsy of "In the Summertime." [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 13:01:55 07/20/06 Thu One night while playing Barnyard's Billiards, OJ got so excited while playing pool and listening to Love Train, he ran his cue through the ceiling of Mark's house. Mark was pretty mad about it. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 14:29:14 08/02/06 Wed Hey, guys! I am once again Malia Parkinson (married Rob again and are trying it one more time) and am living and working in Flippin! I've lost ALL my email addresses and was thrilled to find this link again! Hey, if anyone has Michael Erwin's address, send him mine and tell him to email me! maliap@flippin.k12.ar.us Becky Sue, the song that will always remind me of the fun we had has to be ALL and any of Cat Stephens. I never hear him that I don't remember playing Spades at UCA. Man, we had fun, probably should have gone to class a little more but who knew? ha!. Wonder if CP and or SL reads these messages? HA. ANYWAY, it was so nice to just see everyone's names again. Joe Morris is the band director here. He's well-loved by the whole faculty and it is SO nice to see a friendly face.

Date Posted: 21:13:11 08/02/06 Wed Becky: Nah - just some of my dry wit. I found it amusing that everyone had a connection to Connie (but me). Busy - mostly work-related. Two boys in college and one will be in 9th. RE: songs; it's very interesting to see (almost) the dust flying out of our memories. Fortunately we have a killer classic rock station here in Houston, so I hear most of those mentioned frequently. I think it was Malia that brought up Cat Stevens. On this summer's sailing trip, we spent three nights at Sunshine's - the best beach bar in the world (on Nevis). They blare music, mostly of the Marley-type. Then they put on a "Best of" CD of Cat Stevens. Had to hit iTunes and download back at home. Richie - while on the trip we hit the same nude beach that my mother-in-law bribed me with a beer to walk with her on. Thought of you. Jim [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 08:19:55 08/03/06 Thu Jim- You probably should explain why going to a nude beach made you think of me. We can't have people speculating. It had to be the beer or was it the mother-in-law? Will you make a Razorback football game this year? [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |

Date Posted: 09:31:05 08/06/06 Sun Come on, Richie - fess up about you and nude beaches. Truth is, Richie expressed to me his inability if envision himself with his mother-in-law walking a nude beach. So the record is straight. [ Post a Reply to This Message ] |
