Good morning, musicologists, and welcome to The Mermaid Lounge! Today we start out the day with songs about the night. Then it’s a Dan Fogelberg Spotlight, and Joni Mitchell & James Taylor live at the Paris Theater.
Here’s Thursday’s musical lineup:
9:00 a.m. Here Comes The Night: Various Artists
We start the morning with songs about the night from Warren Zevon, The J. Geils Band, Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Them, The Beatles, Van Morrison, Patti Smith, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bruce Springsteen, The Kinks, Electric Prunes, Phoebe Snow, Joe Walsh, The Eagles, The Doors, John Cougar Mellencamp, Poco, Emmylou Harris, The Animals, Neil Diamond, The Rolling Stones, Don McLean, Steve Winwood, The Traveling Wilburys, Sam Cooke, Jimmy Cliff, Bonnie Raitt and more!
4:00 p.m. In The Spotlight: The Music of Dan Fogelberg
Dan Fogelberg was one of those guys who kind of fell through the cracks, and I have absolutely no idea why. A great singer and songwriter who can boast one of the absolute best albums ever made at any time with Souvenirs.
8:00 p.m. Joni Mitchell & James Taylor Live at The Paris Club, London, UK, October 29, 1970
Yes, of course they were ‘a thing’ at the time, but it’s a great concert nevertheless.
One more early morning shift and I’m a closer for a couple of days. But don’t you worry. The Music Mermaid shifts into control to make sure we get this done. The button is below.
