Friday Night Jam - Josh Groban

Friday Night Jam - Parody: Nights at White Castle

Something humorous from a local radio station back in the 80's.  Our gaming grouped listened to this song many times while playing Dragonquest.

Friday Night Jam - Yes - Leave it

I still remember how this video creeped me out the first time I saw it.

Friday Night Jam - 38 Special

Takes me back to High School and Friday Night Vidoes on NBC

Friday Night Jam - Rush - The Trees

I always think of playing Dragonquest or some other Fantasy RPG when I hear this song.

Friday Night Jam - Journey & Steve Miller Band

The music I was listening to when I started gaming.

Friday Night Jam - Johnny Cash & a host of others

Friday Night Jam - Areosmith

Retreat was great!  Hard to beat spending some extra time with the Almighty!  Now to sort through a ton of e-mails, snail mails and phone messages. Tomorrow maybe - - unpacking and shopping seem to be on tonight's agenda.

Friday Night Jam - The Unlikely Pairing of Jason Mraz & Sixx am

Your feel good video of the night

Normally I don't listen to pop much, but this song caught my attention years back and I have enjoyed it and Jason Mraz ever since. 

WARNING! Evocative video

Seeing the video once was enough, but I sure like hearing this song when I am out driving. I think the lyrics actually have a good message and the video gets in your face. It's good art even if I don't have a real preference for it.  Here is what Nikki Sixx has to say about the song & video: 

                   "Make no mistake when I refer to 'the lies of beautiful people' I mean what I say but I am also saying look beneath the skin. I do not and will not attack the exterior of anybody, but my intention is to pull back the veil on your internal truth. We need not worry if we are black, white, amputated, burned, maimed, a fashion model, or even have the face of Hollywood's latest leading man… We are who we are… Either poisonous and evil or honest and willing… Willing to make a difference… 

Friday Night Jam - Midnight Syndicate

Not really a jam so much as mood music for playing Fantasy & Horror RPGs & games.  Really some great stuff along with Nox Arcana discography. 

Saturday Morning Wake-up

Well I missed the Friday Night Jame because of our Homecoming. A poor excuse, but I was enjoying all the festivities and events of the evening. So to make up for that grievous error here is your Saturday Morning Wake-up video.

Friday Night Jam - Cee-Lo Thank You

As we approach this Sunday and the 10th Anniversary of 911 I want to say a personal word of thanks to all the firefighters, police personnel and paramedics who gave witness to the true nature of heroics that day when they risked and often gave all in the line of duty to help their neighbors. Tonight's Friday Night Jam is dedicated to them, the living and the dead. May God bless and protect all those who answer the call to service & sacrifice in the Civil Service and our Armed Forces. May God comfort all those who have lost loved ones and still mourn their loss to this day.

Friday Night Jam - Johnny cash 2 for 1

It's a long song, but worth the listen. If you have never listened to Johnny Cash's American recordings you really are missing out on some amazing music. A great collection of music done by the Man in Black. After Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash is probably my favorite musician.   As suggested in the title for the post - This is two for one and the second video is perhaps one of the best cover songs of all time.  Chill out and enjoy a more mellow Friday Night Jam.

Friday Night Jam - Shinedown

When this CD was released it rocked! It was one of my most played CDs that year and this song ranks among my favorites from it.

Friday Night Jam - Johnny Lee Hooker & Carlos Santana

Friday Night Jam - Marshall Tucker Band

Since The Secret Fire has been on my mind most of this week, this seemed like a fitting Friday Night Jam.  Actually this song could make a good reason for an adventure.  By the way, its cool to hear some other group  use a flute besides Jethro Tull.

Friday Night Jam - Bowling for Soup

Was going to put Johnny Cash up here tonight, but wanted something a little lighter and fun. Maybe the Man in  Black will get the post next week.

Friday Night Jam - Clapton

While Clapton is not God, he comes close to playing the guitar as good. There is so much to choose from in his musical catalogue that there is no easy place to begin.  I have more recorded music from Clapton than from any other artist. Johnny Cash is a distant second. This is one of my favorite songs from Clapton.

Friday Night Jam - Morphine

I first encountered Morphine in 1993 at my first assignment. I was pretty much into classic rock and some alternative, Morphine caught me with their sound and simplicity. I was talking about music with the husband of  our school secretary when he mentioned his son's musical taste. It happened to be the first time I heard of Marilyn Manson as well as Morphine. While I didn't find Manson all that appealing, I did get into Morphine. Enjoy!

Friday Night Jam - Cee-Lo

Ladykiller was my favorite CD in 2010 and I still find myself listening to it a lot. Here is some older Cee-Lo for your enjoyment.
