Listening to the radio at work Friday night,the DJ played a few tunes buy The Dells in tribute to the passing of Johnnie Carter.Here's a Youtube tribute.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gd6Y3qIw3og
The Dells featuring Mr Carter.
Well the dawn was coming,
Heard him ringing on my bell.
He said, ``my names the teacher,
That is what I call myself.
And I have a lesson
That I must impart to you.
Its an old expression
But I must insist its true.
Jump up, look around,
Find yourself some fun,
No sense in sitting there hating everyone.
No mans an island and his castle isnt home,
The nest is for nothing when the bird has flown.
So I took a journey,
Threw my world into the sea.
With me went the teacher
Who found fun instead of me.
Hey man, whats the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.
I try to socialize but I cant seem to find
What I was looking for, got something on my mind.
Then the teacher told me
It had been a lot of fun.
Thanked me for his ticket
And all that I had done.
Hey man, whats the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.
I try to socialize but I cant seem to find
What I was looking for, got something on my mind.
you are ruining my life by not loving me

@panzade,
I know that song, panz, just didn't know that it was done by Lovin' Spoonful. Thanks, buddy.
Today is Agatha Christie's birthday. I think I read most of her books, y'all, so here is a tribute to her.

@Rockhead,
Great group. The lines become blurred between Rock and Soul and I love it.
I know you guys have seen this a bazillion times now, but a friend sent it to me again this morning, and it still gives me goose bumps down to my toes:
