Boomer Radio Vintage Rock

Just sitting here typin' away with my two little fingers and listnin' to Vintage Rock on Boomer Radio over the internet.

Great music from the 60s and 70s, my prime time.  And they not only play the old familiars, but also ones I've never even heard before, but the feel is there.

Boomer Radio: Vintage Rock

Typing away and listening to this great internet station.  I especially like it because they not only play some of the great old songs I've heard a lot, but quite a few I'm either not very familiar with or have never heard.  Here are the songs played since noon today.  The ones with ** mean I wasn't overly familiar with it:

GO DOWN GAMBLIN'--  BS&T
M'LADY--  Sly & the Family Stone.  My absolute favorite song at the Delta Sig dances back in college.  Put this on and see one "Dancin' Fool!"
**HOT BURRITO NO. 1--  Flying Burrito Brothers
**HOMBURG--  Procul; Harum

HEARTBREAKER--  Led Zeppelin.  I was kind of wondering if they'd play "Livin' Lovin' Maid" next.  They didn't.  Probably the first time the two songs haven't been played back-to-back.  I was sure ready for it.
**TAM LIN--  Fairport Convention  I thought it was the Jefferson Airplane.
**BABY'S CALLING ME HOME--  Steve Miller Band
**DON AND DEWEY-- It's a Beautiful Day

MELLOW YELLOW--  Donovan
**IRON BUTTERFLY THEME--  Iron Butterfly
PLASTIC FANTASTIC LOVER--  Jefferson Airplane
UP TO ME--  Jethro Tull

**SAD MORNING--  Buffalo Springfield  And here I was thinking I'd heard all their songs.
BOX OF RAIN--  Grateful Dead
WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN--  Who  For some reason I always thing TV when I hear this song nowadays.
MAY THIS BE LOVE--  Jimi Hendrix.  I always thought this one was named "Waterfalls."

**PRETTY POLLY--  Judy Collins
LOVE ME TWO TIMES--  Doors
NO MORE MR. NICE GUY--  Alice Cooper
**WAKE ME, SHAKE ME--  Blues Project

SONG OF THE WIND--  Santana

This Is One Great Station!!  --RoadDog

Boomer Radio: Vintage Rock (Now That's Some Good Stuff)-- Part 1

Yesterday I listened to Boomer Radio's Vintage Rock streaming on the internet for quite awhile while blogging. I especially like this station because they don't just play the tried and true stuff that everyone hears all the time, but a lot of more obscure songs and some that I have never heard (even better). I always like to expand my musical horizons. //// They concentrate on 1964-1974 and I am glad they have a window with name of song and arttist, something I have to use a lot. //// Here are some of the lesser-known songs they played: LODI-- CCR // SIMPLE SIMON-- Procul Harum // DO I HAVE TO COME RIGHT OUT AND SAY IT-- Buffalo Springfield // TAKE IT AS IT COMES-- Doors // HARD TO CRY TODAY-- Blind Faith //// --Good Stuff, Maynard. --RoadDog

And, they're asking folks to spread the word about them to others. Done. And, they have several different venues at the site. //// I'll Be Listening to a Lot of This Station. --RoadDog
