Can You Think of a Friday that We Didn’t Like?

The Mavericks are an interesting blend of honky-tonk, classic rock, country and Latin. While they effortlessly fuse these sometimes dichotomous sounds together , they have never been embraced by their true audience, the country music fan. Dance the Night Away, as an example, was a hit in the UK but surprisingly not in the US. No matter, crank up the volume and Dance the Night Away’s undeniable hook will having you smiling ear to ear on a Friday or any day, muchachas.

The Aye Wonder Advent Calendar…of sorts

Yesterday’s AWT tune of the week got me thinking. If all of the news out there is bad maybe it’s time to circumvent the bad news with great music. And since I am having a difficult time writing more than once a week, I can instead present you with an uplifting song a day until Christmas. I know that this is all a bunch of convoluted thinking but I am sticking with it.

Today’s song for your enjoyment and mood shift is by Randy Newman. Newman is best know for his two hits, Short People and I Love LA but his body of work stretches 5 decades. Newman doesn’t possess a great voice but his songwriting craft is superb and his lyrics often exhibit a biting humor. Today’s song, the wonderfully uplifting I Love to See You Smile.
