Where the hell have you two been?

 

Freedom soundsystem.

Dear Unknown to Me,

Hey!  I love your voices- I can't believe I never knew you before now!  My DJ just played Norma Fraser's version, and it got me to thinking about who else has recorded this song, which is how I found P. P. Arnold.  Here they both are, and sounding so beautiful, on Radio Dodo, your Friday Dance Party tracks for the second Friday of summer!

The First Cut.

The Second First Cut.

Oh, it's so good; let's have some more!

The Third.

The Fourth.  (Oh!  Such a White Orchestral intro!  Amazing!  It gets so deeply maudlin, hymnal, Country & Western, doesn't it?)

The Fifth.

The Sixth.

Friday!

 

Dear Feet,

Here it is, a song just right for your Friday Night Dance Party!  

Friday Nite

 

Nocturne in Black and Gold, the Falling Rocket, 1875, James McNeill Whistler.

Dear Dancers and All,

Here it is, two Friday Dance Party songs- umm, well, one actually; but two versions.

Nite Flights 

and Nite Flights.

your girl friday

 

Cyndi Lauper's new women's rights and health fund.

Dear Friday,

Your girl is Cyndi!  And, guess what else?  You are the dance party day, even in Fall!  Here are your dance tracks for today:  One, two, & three.

Dear Fridays,

Don't worry, you can still dance!  The Summer is ending, but Fridays continue.  Here are some songs about summer for your dancing pleasure.

A Summer Song

Summertime Sadness

That Summer Feeling

Hot Fun in the Summertime

Summer Wine

Summer Babe

Cruel Summer

Summer Rain

Summer Wind

Summer Madness

All Summer Long

Summertime and the Living is Easy

Yes, I noticed it too; the summer is a very melancholy song subject.  I think it's because it's over so fast, and we only ever want what we do not have.  But, let me know what you think; send a message by paper airplane, and I will reply promptly.

Here comes fun, again.

 

Still from It Came From Beneath the Sea.

Dear Summer of Fun,

Yes!  Here are another five possibilities for your summer fun pleasure!  It's true, we can't go on like this, and I see that the cottonwoods in the creek are starting to yellow, but this week, we continue to fun like the summer has no end!

Assemble a chair!

Read a wonderful book!

Make a special omelet!

See a creature feature!

Dance party track!  (That was so great; let's have another one!)

See you next summer fun week, while it lasts!

A few more funs.

Dear August Fun,

Are all these weeks of fun dragging on for you?  I have an option for you and your discontent!*  I also have one that looks ahead to the approaching Fall and its longer evenings.  Try one of this week's five funs on for size; I am sure there will be something you like!

Sleep under the stars in a bedroll!

Listen to a lament!*

Provision yourself for a Fall knitting project.

Get a doughnut from Fany!

Another extended dance tune!

Until next week- keep up the good fun!

There's moon in the sky.

 

Dear Dancers,

Another spatially and semantically significant song for your summer dance party pleasure!
