JAWing On – Life on Okinawa

Well if what’s in the grapevine over the past couple of days is true, the island can expect to be hit by a sudden wave of new releases in various “genres” of local rock this fall.

In the comments section Brad and I have been discussing various artists of the late ’60s and early ’70s. Two of the favorites mentioned were Bread’s “If” and Lobo’s “I’d Love You to Want Me”. For some people, including me, other favorites of that era might include “Happy Trails” by Quicksilver Messenger Service, “Sunny Days” by Lighthouse, or “Black Cat Moan” by B.BA. If you get the chance check out any of the songs mentioned, it’ll be worth your time if you’ve never heard them before (or if you have heard them, a pleasant way to spend some free time).

We just had a nice little rumbling jolt to wake us up this morning! Nothing like the ’64 shake I got when my family lived in Alaska, but even the little jolts still send my heart a racing.
