This next song reminds me of my Mother. She may have been Lakota Sioux, Creole French and African American, but she had a lot of hippie in her too!  :D

Mom listened to this song constantly. I heard it all the time as a child. It was one of my Mother's favorites, and so, because of that, it is one of my favorites too.  :)

Good memories....

But it also reminds me of the horrors of today's world. The Iraq War. Afghanistan. Darfur. Burma. The Gaza Strip. And others. Perhaps we should sing this song again..... but I digress.

This is another fast load-up for dial-up users. Splash screen again.....


From 1969 (I think) "Age of Aquarius" by The Fifth Dimension

"Dust In The Wind"  (1977) by Kansas

This is another fiercely long download for dial-up users. Please let me know if this video doesn't play properly.

All the songs you've posted so far bring back happy memories - they're more teenage/young adult memories for me, though, rather than childhood...

Here are a couple of others special to me:

The Eagles - Desperado

Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight

You're most welcome...didn't mean to make you sad though.  It's a good memory for me - going 'parking' with my first serious boyfriend - he drove this big black four-door car - an Impala, maybe? with the vinyl seats he kept slippery so that when he took a sharp curve, I had to hold on or slide over. ::)  Boys!

Oh I'm not sad Lynne. Like I said, they are good memories of times long gone, but not forgotten! :D

You went parking too? haha!!! We did a lot of that too! Up at Skiles Test! Hot sex on car seats!! Yup!

And remember the beer bashes in the woods? Big Beer kegs and everything. Rock and Roll blaring from the car stereos. Lots of fun! :)




Hi Spicylife!! Thanks so much for your contributions!! And congratulations one your ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY at BetterMost!!! Exactly one year from today.... well, yesterday now.

Yes, I understand the "haze" you speak of. Much of the 70s is a haze for me. ;)

I'm getting ready to go to bed, but I will check out your videos tomorrow. Thanks again for posting them for us!! :)

All Over The World by Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)


I can't remember what year this song hit the airwaves, but I think it was around my junior or senior year of high school, so it was probably in 1979 or 1980.

Wouldn't it be fun if we could really do this? All of us to have a party around the world? All of the Euro Brokies and the folks down in Australia and up in Canada and all of us state side could have a party at the same time! And then we could call each other during the party! :D

This video loads very quickly. It's another one of those "splash screen" deals.

Here's another song from that great British group ELO...

Telephone Line

This one loads slowly. I checked part of it late last night and it seemed okay. Please let me know if there are any problems with it.

"Come Sail Away" by one of the hottest groups from the Midwest - Styx.


This song is easy on the ears and easy on the dial-up too! Yup. Spash screen again.

Magnum Opus By Kansas. (1976)

Many people are not familiar with this song. It rarely played on the radio during the 1970's and if you wanted to listen to it, you had to buy the album. I first heard this song at my friend's house. He had the Leftoverture album, and I quickly dashed to the record store to buy it. It is one of my favorite songs by Kansas.

Magum Opus is actually several songs all tied together....

a. Father Padilla Meets the Perfect Gnat
b. Howling at the Moon
c. Man Overboard
d. Industry on Parade
e. Release the Beavers
f. Gnat Attack


This is another one of those splash screen videos, but for some reason it loads very slowly, so I haven't checked the entire clip for quality, but what I did listen to sounded fine. This song is about 8-9 minutes long....
