Great song from the 1970s and memories of days gone by

Eclectic.

Yes it is a real word that I have used occasionally.

No I didn't misspell it (though I am guilty of many misspellings and violations of the rules of grammar in many of my blogs, posts, etc. but I try) pertaining to "electric".

Yes I am an Elvis Presley fan and I enjoy so many of his songs from the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s. Some of which are well known and many others (the vast majority) are exceptional but not widely known by the general public including man Elvis Presley fans.

Back to eclectic. That is how I would describe my musical preferences. If it is of quality, sung with passion and real vocal talent, then odds are I would like it...as my song collection/playlists affirm.

The video of the song "don't pull your love" is one of the songs from my teenage years/youth that I enjoy. Not only do I listen to this song but I have some great memories associated with it. Music, and songs, have the ability to "move" us. To take us back to a certain time, place, event, etc. as is the case with this song.

Though I consider myself, and the IQ tests confirm YIPPEE, intelligent I still (after 52 and soon to be 53 years upon this earth) can't grasp that one's voice can be transferred by a microphone unto vinyl records, online streaming, cds, dvds, etc. Nonetheless I am glad that Edison gave this world, among many he achieved in his lifetime, the gift of recordings.

To think that someone, individually and/or collectively, wrote the words and then added a melody thus creating a song that is associated with a time long ago AND that still is enjoyed is remarkable. Hats off to every song writer, musician, singer, etc. Job well done.

Before I end this post, and thanks for reading, I was captivated by an hour long restoration project involving the largest pipe organ located in Atlantic City (I spend the weekend there once and I have special memories of her - of us - what once was). Here is the trailer via YouTube:


Eclectic.

It applys to my taste in music, among other things, as well as my interests outside of; God, family, friends, passions, everyday life, etc.

The two videos contained in this post are interesting, and involves talented and passionate people, and I hope you concur.

Take care and may God bless you and yours...always.
