"It's Too Late" by Carole King

I'm finishing this post a couple of years after I created it and so I have no idea what made me choose it.  But it's a great song.

"We Are Family" by Sister Sledge

This was one of the BEST events EVER!!
I'm finishing this post a couple of years later, I'm so sad that I never completed it.  If I remember correctly we collected over $2,000 dollars to donate to the Utah Pride Center's Youth Suicide prevention.

The fact that is was kitty corner from the Mormon Churches "Penis Tower" was so awesome!!!  The church is just evil the way they cause so many young LGBTQ kids to commit suicide!

Hillary made a great playlist for the event and this was one of the great songs on it, we all sang along!

"The Game Of Love" by Santana feat. Michelle Branch

One of the girls posted this song in the Girl Gang tonight.  Wonderful!!

I love what Santana says in the live video about "that we come from the light, we are going to return to the light...".

"Aphrodisiac" by Bow Wow Wow






I played this album while laying in the sun this morning.  When the first beats of this song came on it was like magic.  This song is so exciting, so powerful!

This is yet another song that I am amazed I haven't posted before.  My favorite Bow Wow Wow song...   I even put this on that very first "Void Where Prohibited" CD-R I made back in the mid-90's.  Back when a blank CD-R cost almost $15.

"Don't Stop Believin'" by Inside Job


Inside Job performing at Harmon's Rooftop event

Another beautiful rooftop performer


I saw the local band Inside Job play this song at the Harmon's Rooftop event:

They were one of the Music Garage's bands that performed:

Inside Job was incredible, I loved every song they did.  I was thinking I liked their rendition of this song better than the original.

Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any videos from the event tonight.  I should have recorded it myself. DUH!

I did find this video of Inside Job on Park City TV:

"Elenore Rigby" by Daphne Willis

One of the CD's I got at the Women's Red Rock Music Festival

The "Lost 80's Live" show was very nice last night.  But I sat there alone, my first dating attempt on OkCupid a fail.  I was thinking about "all the lonely people" on OkCupid, including myself...

Anyway, Daphne Willis TOTALLY fucking rocked "Elenore Rigby" at the Women's Red Rock Music Festival last month.  It was insane how she was rockin' this song!!!

Her website: https://www.daphnewillis.com/

After I bought Daphne's three CD's that Friday night after her performance, this was the first one I popped into the CD player.  I played it over and over the remainder of the time I was in Torrey and for a ways into my trip to St. George.

"Animal" by Berlin


I went to the Lost 80's Live show tonight at the Gallavan Plaza.  I rode Trax there to avoid having to deal with parking.  I sat down at the Trax station next to a couple of young people.  One of them said they loved my car and then told me they were Trans.

It is wonderful that I'm meeting all of these young transgender people recently!  They are all so happy to be out and being themselves.  It makes me so happy too, that they feel free enough to be their authentic selves!!

#TransIsBeautiful

It was a wonderful show, I had forgotten some of the songs by those bands.  I sat on one of the park benches (unfortunately alone) and it was so pleasant and the music was great.

The crowd went crazy when Berlin played this song...

"Sometimes" by Max Q



Yesterday at the Utah Women Unite director's meeting we were talking about the 5 types of Becky: http://www.theroot.com/the-five-types-of-becky-1798543210, I had never heart about "Becky" before.  I'm so out of the loop!  :(

Anyway, I was adding the Max Q song "Ghost of the Year to my "reel-to-reel playlist" and this song popped up.

I should note that Max Q was a band that had the late Michael Hutchence former lead singer of INXS.

Watching the "vinyl" video I was wishing I had the vinyl of this album!  But then I was totally drooling over the Dual turntable.  I so wish I had a Dual turntable of that vintage!!!!!!!

"The Rhythm Divine" by Yellow (feat. Shirley Bassey)




I went and saw Subrosa (https://subrosa.cc/bio/) as part of Crucial Fest last night.  They totally KICKED ASS!!!

I need to pick a favorite of theirs to post on my blog, for sure.  But I don't have time to figure that out right now.



I found a Shirley Bassey record when I was in St. George a couple of weeks ago.  I started playing it this morning and the first two songs I thought: "It's Shirley Bassey does the Carpenters".  I just couldn't get into it at all.  Shirley Bassey has a beautiful voice but it just doesn't sound right on those songs.

Anyway, I thought of this song that I have loved for years.  Such an amazing voice!
