This morning

I'm branching out from the 50's on satellite radio and listening to 60's, 70's and 80's.  Today on  my way to work I put on the 70's and a song called, The Year of the Cat came on.  It was vaguely familiar and I was really enjoying it.  I saw that it came out the year I was born and for some reason the lyrics were making me think that this is what my mom must've felt like with a newborn me.  American Pie came on right after that and I switched it immediately to the 60's and The Walker Brothers were on!!!!!!  I laughed like a wild woman.  It was all right, kind of standard sounding whatever that means.  The DJ came on after it was over and said that the Walker Brothers weren't related and that none of them had the last name Walker.  He also said that one of them died recently so that's why I'm having these Walker Brother coincidences.  Later at work, I looked up the lyrics to The Year of the Cat....the lyrics have nothing that to do with what a mother would feel about her first year journey with her baby child!!  I laughed like a demented fool.  I texted my mom inquiring of her memories of that song and she replied, "How about that I hated that song".  I laughed like I spit my drink out.  Then I asked her if she ever heard of the Walker Brothers.  She loved them!

Al Stewart sort of doesn't care pose
It kinda sums up the album title




Also, yesterday I jammed out to Monkey by George Michael.  I totally forgot about that song!

I guess these bros were popular

I'm into album covers where the people posing don't give a shit.  It started off with some Ray Price album covers and yesterday I found these.  I have never heard of these brothers and apparently at one time they were more popular than Engelbert Humperdinck.
Here we go!
















Can you see any familial traits?










They have me convinced that the sun will not shine anymore

They had enough songs for a collection, yet are still unfazed


The brothers don't seem to make it easy on themselves

They had hits, but remain unsatisfied.

You don't have to do anything we will psychedelic you up

Just hold this, throw these on and be you.


It's about time! This is the best one!  Cheers Bros!
