ATF: Four-Track Favs

This series will include as many of my all-time favorite (ATF) tunes as I can get my grubby little hands on (so to speak).  Now, each one included in each edition will have some connection with the other—albeit only as a figment of my imagination, but they will not be numbered.  For I just cannot bring myself to rate some higher than others.  So, this will not be a countdown, but if you are enjoying them as much as I do, it won’t matter.  Besides, with no countdown, this could go on forever and ever!  Oh, and despite the fact that there is absolutely no way your musical tastes could be as exquisite as mine, I welcome any suggestions you might dare to make.  For I am, after all, quite magnanimous by nature.

Green River

Creedence Clearwater Revival

Well

Take me back down where cool water flow y’all

Let me remember things I love

Stoppin' at the log where catfish bite

Walkin' along the river road at night

Barefoot girls

Dancin' in the moonlight

I can hear the bull frog callin' me

Wonder if my rope's still hangin' to the tree

Love to kick my feet way down the shallow water

Shoefly

Dragonfly

Get back to mother

Pick up a flat rock

Skip it across

Green River

Well

Up at Cody's camp I spent my days

With flat car riders

And cross-tie walkers

Old Cody Junior took me over

Said

You're gonna find the world is smoulderin’

And if you get lost

Come on home to

Green River

Well

Come on home

Windy

The Association

Who's peeking out from under a stairway

Calling a name that's lighter than air

Who's bending down to give me a rainbow

Everyone knows it's

Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smiling at everybody she sees

Who's reaching out to capture a moment

Everyone knows it's

Windy

And Windy has

Stormy eyes

That flash at the

Sound of lies

And Windy has

Wings to fly

Above the clouds

Above the clouds

Above the clouds

Above the clouds

And Windy has

Stormy eyes

That flash at the

Sound of lies

And Windy has

Wings to fly

Above the clouds

Above the clouds

Above the clouds

Above the clouds

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smiling at everybody she sees

Who's reaching out to capture a moment

Everyone knows it's

Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smiling at everybody she sees

Who's reaching out to capture a moment

Everyone knows it's

Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smiling at everybody she sees

Who's reaching out to capture a moment

Everyone knows it's

Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smiling at everybody she sees

Who's reaching out to capture a moment

Everyone knows it's

Windy

Who's tripping down the streets of the city

Smiling at everybody she sees

Who's reaching out to capture a moment…

Downtown

Petula Clark

When you're alone and life is making you lonely

You can always go

Downtown

When you've got worries all the noise and the hurry

Seems to help I know

Downtown

Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city

Linger on the sidewalk

Where the neon signs are pretty

How can you lose

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles

Forget all your cares

So go

Downtown

Things will be great when you're

Downtown

No finer place for sure

Downtown

Every thing's waiting for you

Downtown

Downtown

Don't hang around and let your problems surround you

There are movie shows

Downtown

Maybe you know some little places to go

To where they never close

Downtown

Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova

You'll be dancing with 'em too before the night is over happy again

The lights are much brighter there

You can forget all your troubles

Forget all your cares

So go

Downtown

Where all the lights are bright

Downtown

Waiting for you tonight

Downtown

Uou're gonna be alright now

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you

Someone who is just like you

And needs a gentle hand

To guide them along

So maybe I'll see you there

We can forget all our troubles

Forget all our cares

So go

Downtown

Things will be great when you're

Downtown

Don't wait a minute more

Downtown

Everything is waiting for you

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown

Downtown…

Deep walkin'

Keep on your toes

And Don't stop talkin' 'bout

Get goin'

Lots to be learned

And lots to be knowin' 'bout

Gotta reach 'em

Sit 'em right down

And then you gotta teach 'em 'bout

Gotta put yourself smack dab in it

Hey

Now don't you go away

'Cause

Just might come your way

Keep tryin'

People stay alive

And people keep dyin' for

You gotta understand

You just can't abuse it

Callin' some friend

And callin' some brother

Hey

You're not so far away

Mother

Freedom

We'll know you well someday

PDC

PDC (Puppy Don’t Care) and probably neither do you.  Nonetheless, I am compelled to tell you that I must sulk back into the shadows for at least the next 4-5 weeks.  For it is getting down to crunch-time for the launch of the new site, and I still have A LOT of work to do.

Alas, I was planning on launching the new site this Friday.  For April Fool’s Day seemed like a most appropriate day for such an endeavor, but it was advised that I could do a lot of the things beforehand that I thought had to wait until after the site went online.  Subsequently, why pay good money for a month of hosting when I do not really want anyone visiting yet?

Okay, I suppose it won’t hurt to spill most of the beans now.  For the only thing I want to keep secret is the name I hope to secure, and even that would not be a problem if it was not for there being far too many very unscrupulous opportunists in cyberspace, who would not think twice about purchasing the domain name ahead of me and offering to sell it at an exorbitant price.  As far as the content of the new site goes, it is going to be a site directory that will launch (all in accordance unto our Heavenly Father’s will, of course) with over 5,000 sites listed by categories and country of origin (when that can be determined).  The goal is to have as many sites as possible listed before it is all over with.

What we hope will set our site directory apart from all of the others already in existence is that we will be listing the sites ourselves instead of having the owner send in the information via a form, which is meant to help insure the validity of content and the safety of visitors.  Now, safety cannot be insured, but if we made it back from a particular site unscathed, you should be able to, as well.  Oh, and there is another thing that should make our new directory more attractive than others, which won’t be revealed until you can see it for yourself.

So, I must diminish your lives by my frequent absence again for at least the next 4-5 weeks.  I will try to leave a comment once a week on my regular stops just to prove that I am still alive, but I certainly do not expect you to leave any comments on the posts here that I have already scheduled until the first of June.  Yeah, life in this world certainly appears to be grossly unfair, but I think putting up with me is well worth it.  Puppy don’t care, of course.

A Sunday Drive

Back during our childhood, our parents would often load up my brother and me after Sunday morning church services for a leisurely drive around where we lived.  Even though we were seeing mostly familiar sights, it was still good to see them again, and this is why “A Sunday Drive” sounded about right for the name of a series revisiting familiar sites that are well worth seeing again and again.  The link below the image is to the site itself, and the image is linked to the post it was first included in here.

You Keep Me Hanging On

The Supremes

Set me free

Why don't cha babe

Get out my life

Why don't cha babe

'Cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin' on

You don't really need me

But you keep me hangin' on

Why do you keep a-coming around

Playing with my heart

Why don't you get out of my life

And let me make a new start

Let me get over you

The way you've gotten over me

Hey

Set me free

Why don't cha babe

Let me be

Why don't cha babe

Woo oh oh

'Cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin' on

Woo oh oh

Now you don't really want me

You just keep me hangin' on

You say

Although we broke up

You still wanna be just friends

But how can we still be friends

When seeing you only breaks my heart again

And there ain't nothing I can do about it

Woo oh oh oh

Set me free

Why don't cha babe

Woo oh oh

Get out my life

Why don't cha babe

Woo oh oh

Set me free

Why don't cha babe

Get out my life

Why don't cha babe

You don’t really love me

But you keep me hanging on

Woo oh oh

You don’t really need me

But you keep me hanging on

You claim you still care for me

But your heart and soul needs to be free

Now that you've got your freedom

You wanna still hold on to me

You don't want me for yourself

So let me find somebody else

Hey hey

Why don't you be a man about it

And set me free

Woo oh oh

Now you don't care a thing about me

You're just using me

Woo oh oh

Go on

Get out

Get out of my life

And let me sleep at night

Woo oh oh

'Cause you don't really love me

You just keep me hangin' on

Woo oh oh

You don’t really need me

So

Let me be

Set me free

Turn Me Loose

Loverboy

I was born to run

I was born to dream

The craziest boy you’ve ever seen

I gotta do it my way

Or no way at all

And I was here to please

I'm even on knees

Making love to whoever I please

I gotta do it my way

Or no way at all

And then you came around

Tried to tie me down

I was such a clown

You had to have it your way

Or no way at all

Well I've had all I can take

I can't take it no more

I'm gonna pack my bags and fly

My way

Or no way at all

So why don't you

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way

Or no way at all

Why don't you

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way

I wanna fly

I'm here to please

I'm even on my knees

Making love to whoever I please

I gotta do it my way

I gotta do it my way

And when you came around

You tried to tie me down

I was such a clown

You had to have it your way

Well I'm sayin' no way

So why don't you

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way

Or no way at all

Why don't you

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way

I gotta do it my way

Why don't you

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

Turn me loose

I gotta do it my way

I wanna fly
