Monday Night Countdown

You know the jam:

On the Twelfth Day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me:
Twelve drummers drumming,
Eleven pipers piping,
Ten lords a-leaping,
Nine ladies dancing,
Eight maids a-milking,
Seven swans a-swimming,
Six geese a-laying,
Five golden rings,
Four calling birds,
Three French hens,
Two turtle doves,
And a partridge in a pear tree !

Here are my TOP 5 favourite items from that festive track:

5. Six geese a-laying – Who could resist the precious start of Life ?

4. Seven swans a-swimming – I could watch swan swimming for hours !

3. A partridge in a pear tree – Partridges are cute, and I love pears !

2. Nine ladies dancing – As a former clubber I totally dig that !

1. Twelve drummers drumming – Dude it ain’t rock without the drums !

1997. It’s the year that I turned 30-years-old and celebrated my 10TH anniversary of living and working here in Homestead Florida. I ditched my longtime 1989 Geo Spectrum (bought brand new) after over 96,700 miles, and I joined the Saturn family by buying my first of three fine cars from the company. I lost my original 486-SX desktop computer system due to a catastrophic hard drive failure, and when that happened ‘MANx CAT BBS’ died after four years. That original classic bulletin board system spun-off ‘MANx ON THE NET’ which evolved into ‘MASSIVESMASH.COM‘ which inspired my MySpace blog of 2007 which morphed into this WordPress blog that you know and love right here.

Boots was my feline buddy and roommate, and I was a loyal and devoted Y-100 TOP 40 radio listener at home, at work, and in the car. Last Saturday night on the ‘Retro’ I presented Reunion’s “Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)” from 34 years ago. Tonight for your ‘Retro’ review I present to you one of the biggest smash hits on the radio from 1997, and it’s kind of like a modern update to Reunion’s classic track from 1974. It’s “I Want You” – the debut smash from the multi-Platinum-selling Australian duo known as Savage Garden.

Saturday Night Retro

I’m back home in Homestead. I landed at FLL a good 30 minutes ahead of schedule, and I took the Miami GO GO Turnpike straight to Homestead. Now I’m relaxing and getting ready for a big day ahead at Life Pointe Church. I can’t wait to see everyone bright and early tomorrow morning. It’ll sort of be like a Reunion – and speaking of ‘Reunion’ – that’s the name of this assembled group of studio musicians that recorded this cool hit song from 1974. You may remember it if you’re old enough. If not then just listen, watch, and enjoy. There’s no way that you can sing along to it !

Ladies & Gentlemen – I present to you for your ‘Retro’ review – “Life Is A Rock (But The Radio Rolled Me)”. It’s one of my favourite songs of all-time !
