Speak to me!

Holy shit, my last post was more than 2 months ago?  Well, it's been a fun summer.  Miss Mox and I have made lots of road trips, hung out with family, and enjoyed the fruits of our labor in the garden.  I have a lot of ideas for posts here and have put up some little stuff on the FB page, but just haven't had the time or inclination to sit down and write a full post.  Even now there's a lot to do, at home, at work, and out on the town, but I'll try to get a few things written up this month.

The other day, on a road trip, somehow conversation turned to music as it sometimes does, and for some reason I was reminded of a J Geils song.  Well, Miss Mox hadn't heard of them, and didn't want to, but I had to hear the one with the long bizarre introduction.  So, it's down below, for your pleasure.  Later that day I got to thinking about other songs with interesting intros, or spoken sections in the song.  Here are a few I came up with.  Enjoy your summer!


J Geils Band- Must Have Got Lost
One of my favorite bands as a kid, but barely remembered now.  This song got lots of airplay, mainly for the intro.


Country Joe and the Fish- Vietnam (Fixin' To Die Rag)
From Woodstock, a time machine piece.


War- Spill the Wine
Another period piece.


War- Cisco Kid
Just cuz.  Another War song, reminiscent more of Lowrider.


Arlo Guthrie- Alice's Restaurant
A classic.  I think I posted it once before, but it's always fun to listen to.  He's a natural storyteller.  I was lucky enough to hear him live, doing this and a couple of other songs.
