Sir Reginald and Bernie wrote a lot of good songs together. This is one of my favorites, thanks to my sister who played the album over and over and over and over ad infinitum. We got to see Elton back around the turn of the century/millennium when he was broke and touring solo sans band to pay off his debts. My sister has seen him half a dozen times or so.

Dickey Betts and Great Southern – Blue Skies
I saw Dickey Betts and Great Southern play at Colorado Sun Day 2 in old Mile High Stadium on June 26, 1977, damn near 55 years ago. Out of the seven acts that played that day, I'd rank them tied for second with Marshall Tucker, a short distance behind Lynyrd Skynyrd. It was a hell of a show.
Grover Washington, Jr. – Summer Chill
Gonna be another hot one out there today, citizens. Have a cold drink and some cool jazz. Chill, baby, chill.
Carson McHone – Drugs
Thanks for having me this past week. It's been nice to be back for a bit. Hope ya'll enjoyed it.
Here is something to really knock your socks off. A real Sunday Morning downer. Probably couldn't play this one during the week, may have hit too hard.

Jeannie C. Riley – The Back Side of Dallas
Sure, you may know Harper Valley but Ms. Riley really starts to let it out on this later single.

Caitlin Rose – Shanghai Cigarettes
Here is a tune I came across in the past few years that I really enjoyed. Hope you do too.

Hop Along – Sister Cities
The pipes on this gal, my goodness. Pretty fun tune to play with the windows down. Making their third appearance on WGOM, Hop Along.

Gloria – Beam Me Up
Picking one song from my favorite show of the past ten years proved an incredibly difficult task. Lodge 49 is as packed with incredible music as any show I have ever seen, to say nothing of the content of the show itself.
If you haven't seen Lodge, I can't recommend enough. Has a real old basement feel.

Sir Douglas Quintet – At The Crossroads
Maybe it's getting older, maybe it is I can only listen to the same songs so many times but I have spent a lot of time the past few years seeking out new to me stuff. Here is one I stumbled across last year that has been covered by a few folks. Doug Sahm and his crew, 1975 at Austin City Limits
Gabriels – Blame
Morning all. Over the last ten years while I haven't been contributing as much to the WGOM I have been raising my herd and listening to tunes. Hopefully one day we may all benefit from both of those actions but this week you may see some value from the tunes side.
2022, live at Wonderland
Unrelated I had some folks reach out to me privately about the disgusting events from over the weekend in Buffalo. Thanks to the well wishers. This happened in a real food desert neighborhood and local food banks and counseling services could always use any help they can get. Sadly, I know that the Twin Cites know this pain too. All good vibes are reciprocated.
