#895 – LET HIM DANGLE – Elvis Costello - 3/11/2020

I am right in the middle of House of Pain Week. This nugget is from Elvis Costello, whose LP ‘Spike’ on which this song is found was one of the best albums of the 80’s. My buddy Neal & I were lucky to see Elvis perform this song and others from ‘Spike” at Lake Compounce Park in Bristol, CT.

Friday’s Nugget: Dealer’s Choice - January 24, 2014

I’m not sure about you all but it sounds like a lot of us are in a bit of a post-holiday haze. Well today’s Nugget is is a choice of 10 songs designed to hopefully kick us individually and collectively square in the pants with a little dose of my favorite slightly off-the-radar, toe-tapping delights. I couldn’t decide on a song so I figured I would let you decide for yourselves.

Parenthetically, I want to say how happy I am to have my sweetie back home from her girl’s weekend in the swamps of Florida hunting the “wild” Manilow and various cabana boys (with Maureen Keith Larocca & Nancy Viggiano).
