The big reveal for the week of Oct.13/08

Good morning music fans, Friday is here. I am so ready for a Friday and for a weekend. My beloved is off to New York City for a weekend of Broadway, sightseeing and shopping and I am planning on taking it easy for most of the weekend. I will also spend lots of time with my daughter. There will be lots of things for us to do including hanging out, maybe go to the movies and watching hockey. We might even get to a rink and watch some live hockey too.

This weeks song was a pretty popular song in the 70's. In fact it was released in 1973 the same year that the new TV show, "Life on Mars" is set in. Funny how that works out eh? If you haven't seen it (the show)yet, it's not great. It's on at 10:00 p.m. on Thursdays so it takes some sleep time away if you stay up to watch it. Enough about that I've already posted on "Life on Mars", which by the way is a great song by David Bowie. Darn, now I can't use that one in the obscure post.

The song: Simple Man.
The band: Lynyrd Skynyrd
The album: Pronounced leh-nerd skin-nerd (commonly referred to as Pronounced)
The writers: Ronnie Van Zant and Gary Rossington.

The winner this week at 9:59 a.m. on Oct.14 was Steve B. No more Skynyrd songs for a while, I gotta give others a chance.

Have an awesome weekend, enjoy the cool crisp sunny weather. Take some time away from chores (people still do chores outside of Waterloo County don't they?) to enjoy family and friends. Get some rest and dig out the winter woollies and maybe the snow shovel. It is coming sometime so you might as well be ready. At least we're not in Montana, but "Going to Montana" was a good song. If you are still reading, I might pick next weeks song from this weeks episode of "Life on Mars".
