Roman ALANThe 19th of September 2025 is a Friday, and the theme for "Jukebox Friday Night" is (drum roll, please): "Let There Be Drums".
Time for songs or music with or about drums or drummers.
Sandy West is seventeen years old on this recording, as my family is sick and tired of me telling them.

Fifty years ago today Joan Jett and Sandy West formed The Runaways, and became widely recognized as the first all female rock and roll band. This post celebrates another milestone but it seemed appropriate to share it again today.

The 1970's is where the Brain DJ has taken up residence once again, tossing out old tracks from the depths of my memory –
The Runaways, "Hollywood" (1977)
Always love hearing Sandy West (1959-2006) on drums.
