What is that noise?

So I am at my computer and the woman in my life says o me hey lets watch this show on the food network, it is new and looks like it would be good.

 I say to hear that’s fine I am playing a game and messing about on the net, the show starts and the host has this annoying voice, more annoying that reading my blogs! The host was going into such finite details that it was like taking an Algebra test in high school.

 I says to her hay “Honey, I thought you said this was going to be good?” she replied with “I like it just give it a chance.”

 Not ten minutes later she turns to me and says what is that noise, without skipping a beat and not even looking up at here I said “oh, that? That’s the sound of your brain leaking out of your brain pan” from watching this show.

 She gives me a huff and the next thing I know Deadliest Catch is on…

 I Win!

Way-Back Sound Machine #9 Spotlight on John Fogerty




Welcome Back to Fitzy’s Way-Back Sound Machine’s Music Blog. Today we set the Way-Back dial to John Fogerty and his Solo career.
If you don’t have these songs in your personal music library you can download them or you can listen and see the Videos for free by heading over to my youtube Channel and click on the “Play list # 9 – John Fogerty Solo” to hear all these songs. www.youtube.com/user/fatdog14  feel free to leave feedback here and on the youtube site. Next Time we tune the Way-Back dial to Bad Company
John Fogertyis best known for his time with the classic rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival (CCR), but he has done some great solo stuff as well. Fogerty has a rare distinction of being named on Rolling Stone magazine’s list of 100 Greatest Guitarists at #40 and the list of 100 Greatest Singers at #72.
 John’s solo career started in 1973 under the name “The Blue Ridge Rangers” The rest of his solo albums/CD’s that followed had very distinctive sounds of hard rock, swamp rock, blues and country with a tiny bit of Reggae thrown in.
  He was nominated for the Best Rock Solo Vocal Performance Grammy for the song “Change in the Weather,” which he recorded for The Blue Ridge Rangers Rides Again in 2010.
  Despite his falling out with the other members of CCR, John Fogerty is the guts of classic rock for me no matter what he sings. Here are my top 10 favorite songs of John Fogerty’s solo career.
1. “California Blues” – 1973 on the “Blue Ridge Rangers” album

2. “Jambalaya” - 1973 on the “Blue Ridge Rangers” album

3. “Rockin’ all over the world” – 1975 from the album “John Fogerty”
