Speaking of old school -- Now I’ve got Sammy Hagar’s "Heavy Metal" cranking. I say "cranking" because the kids in the room were bobbing their heads in time with the music. This is probably why I’m going deaf -- I listen to the earbuds at near maximum volume.
Another tune that rocks, though it’s been labeled Alternative by iTunes and Jazz by me, is George Winston’s "Linus and Lucy," the next song in my tour of the iPod. Nothing like a great piano piece, particularly Swing, Jazz with a fast beat, or accompanying a Rock song. Few people know this, but that’s Little Richard on the piano in "Takin’ Care of Business" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. While the song is great by itself, the cherry on top makes it better.
