Happy New Year’s Eve 2023 – End of Year Playlist

Thought I might do something different this New Years Eve. Buried in the Archives are over 100 tunes that deserve a replay, at least in my opinion. Some are pure awesome, others are eye-rollers, but all are songs that pleased my earballs in 2023. Each set is in no particular order, one click and you’re off to the races. Have at it.

Set 1 – January, February, March

Set 2 – April, May, June, July

Don’t Look Back

Farmer Brown (No. 2)

Running Around

You Can't Make Me Doubt My Baby

Set 3 – August, September, October, November & December

It Ain't Nothin' But Rock And Roll

Being Without You (1966)

Girls Are Out To Get You

I've Never Found A Girl (To Love Me Like You Do)

Boomada

And one more thing: Happy New Year!

Auld Lang Syne Boogie, Freddie Mitchell Orchestra (1949)

Saturday Matinee – Tuba Skinny, Lucky Chops, Timo Gross & Skatune Network

Tuba Skinny, featuring bandleader Shaye Cohn on cornet. Although we were in NOLA last May, I didn’t get a chance to see them because I was too busy chillin’ on a balcony with the dogs.

Formed in 2016, Lucky Chops began as a group of subway buskers from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School, New York City, and now they perform world-wide.

German bluesman Timo Gross has been around for a while but he’s relatively unknown in the US; I had to run his Wikipedia entry through Google Translate.
