40 years ago today, May 24, 1986, The Moody Blues entered the Top 40 of Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles chart at #39 in its 6th week with “Your Wildest Dreams”. It went on to peak at #9 for two weeks and spent a total of 12 weeks in the Top 40.

The song also spent two weeks at #1 on Billboard’s Adult Contemporary chart and was in that Top 40 for a total of 22 weeks.

36 years ago today, April 14, 1990, Exile debuted at #75 on Billboard’s Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart with “Nobody’s Talking”. It went on to peak at #2 and spent a total of 21 weeks on the chart.

We played this song a lot back then. It was in our hot rotation for several weeks at AM 650 KYAK, the station I used to work for (1987-1991) and had listened to since childhood.

DEPORTEE
or, Plane Wreck at Los Gatos Canyon

https://eilenjewell.bandcamp.com/track/deportee?ct=t%28EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_10_3_2025_8_23_COPY_01%29&mc_cid=92d889e236&mc_eid=b382f9375a

This is a timely music track released today. It was written by Woody Guthrie, following the January 28, 1948, plane crash that filled the crew and all the passengers, mostly migrant farm workers. Eilen Jewell, the Queen of the Minor Key, darkened up the melody for this performance.

That the song is so timely nearly 80 years later calls to mind this Mark Erelli verse,

The same old battle's raging
All on down the line
Why does it seem like nothing's changed
Since Woody Guthrie's time?

-- from "Troubadour Blues"

JACOB'S REUNION
"JACOB'S REUNION" (1975)

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DdLv4AUf6uo6sDB7ryXeC8lNfv89WocV?usp=sharing

Just 50 years ago, the old Chelsea House in West Brattleboro recorded and released an album that had a very big impact around here.

The 1970s brought great changes to the Brattleboro area's music community. John Clark started his first tour of duty at WTSA, Cap'n Bullfrog's record store opened in the Latchis building, Ralph and Pat Baker started up their Sound Hole musical instrument shop on Elliot Street, John and Tony arrived at Marlboro College, and the Chelsea House opened for a run of about seven years of concerts and folk dances. The release of this album, "Jacob's Reunion" on Chelsea House Records, was one of the biggest events. The download option appears after clicking the downward-pointing caret to the right of the album's heading. Several cuts from this album were especially popular. The first of those to come up is Track 2, "Ontario."

CLEAN COAL AND ANYTHING ELSE FOR THE ENVIRONMENT THAT ISN'T WOKE

I get these two as Elle Cordova (formerly known professionally as Reina del Cid) and Toni Lindgren. Toni is a very solid guitarist.

I was watching a music video and have a #ThoughtForToday #thought - groups of 3-4 singers often appear (from my understanding) to have one more extroverted leader with others who typically play some musical instruments and/or are introverted.
- #music #musician #singing #musicgroup #MusicianLife

I think that an introvert will be more focused on internal feelings than on social interactions... shy, less energetic, more comfortable to say less, enjoys listening to the conversation before joining it).

I am much more of an introvert around any people I communicate with - but I don't really like being around people these days because of the self-confidence I have lost through living in health care services (I have distrusting anxiety and prefer self-reliant independence).

Maybe that's why I noticed in the video. #empathy
I am also very analytical.

1981 Vintage Music Group Advertisement

In this image, there is a collage of photographs featuring members of music groups alongside an individual prominently in the foreground. The top-left photo shows three men with one singing into a microphone; another man to their left appears relaxed while a third looks on contently. In contrast, the right side displays five young individuals standing close together, with varied expressions ranging from serious to mildly amused.

Below these photos is a gold-colored logo that reads "AMP EX," suggesting it's an advertisement for AMPEX Corporation, known historically as one of America’s leading electronics companies in audio and video recording technologies. The image appears aged, indicative of its vintage nature.
