An Overview About the Telephone ~ Plus: Sharing Phone Evolution Resources

Push-button or rotary.. Ah, those were the days. No compulsive checking for messages, except, perhaps, an answering-machine. Our vintage phones, usually had a station. We knew exactly where to locate it, if need-be. It was either mounted on the wall, or, set on a desk or counter. Or, on our night-stand. Or, when we were outside, we could find one at a shopping location, or inside a lobby. They were the pay-phones, of course. Those were the days.. were they not? 

We had to deal with unraveling our phone cords, if we were very active on our phones, occasionally. And now.. we are cordless.. with little awesomely evolved mobile devices.. Our hand-held might be free, but, we are quite attached; are we not? 

Nowadays, habitual phone checking is typical. ~

Overview of HSCC and Halestorm's Live Performances of Heart's 1990 Music Hit

The two cover performances of Heart's "All I Want to Do Is Make Love to You," shown in the videos below, are quite remarkable. The first one (below Heart) is by HSCC (The Hindley Street Country Club) and is quite breathtaking, taking the song to another level, as well as, the last video shown in this post, which has Halestorm showing an ultra-power-packed performance of the song.

Watch Ann and Nancy sing the original classic ~ "Heart - All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You (Official Music Video)" via YouTube ~


Watch "‘ALL I WANNA DO IS MAKE LOVE TO YOU' (HEART) cover by HSCC" via YouTube ~


Watch "Halestorm - All I Wanna Do Is Make Love To You [Fan Made Video]" via YouTube ~

All three versions, are totally different styles (of course), but, they all express the classic story of "a flower" and a "seed" which becomes "a tree," (metaphorically speaking, of course).

And all of the three groups, have such remarkable intense energy, as well. 

So, what are your thoughts about the two cover performances of "All I Want to Do Is Make Love To You"? Don't they deliver quite cool and precise emotional interpretations of the song that Heart released back in 1990?

Thoughts About Two Cowboy Songs

Recently, when I heard this Paula Cole song "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone" from 1996, it reminded me of the 2014 Randy Houser song "Like a Cowboy," because of the cowboy reference, of course ~


Paula sure has great bone structure, and her song includes a great question about the 'whereabouts' of 'the cowboys' -- whereas, Randy's song, may be about what the girls who dream about cowboys, are looking for in a man; not necessarily in a mundane long-term commitment, though; just for intense, occasional, romantic 'fireworks' now and then, that sparks and keeps a deep connection.

Also -- Facetiously speaking.. Guess that may be easier to steal a woman's heart by a cowboy singing a song, than a simple man, just 'paying all the bills,' while the gal 'does the laundry'.. perhaps. And.. Riding off into the sunset might not make for a great 'happy ending,' but, as long as he can 'drive her wild,' then, she does not have to wonder where her cowboy has gone, as long as he revisits ~ So, what do you think?

"Caveman" and his wife, had a girl and a boy..

The entire crew, appeared to watch the event, and.. "This isn't a football game" said, 'Wilma' -- as 'Fred,' cheered on.. ~

'Rosanne' ~ (Shakin') With Eddie and Some Great Looking Eye Shadow

Looks like Eddie (Money), having a wild night with "Rosanne," back-in-the day.. Almost too much to handle? Just kidding..

It was a great song of 1982, (and video).

Facetiously speaking ~ The one thing that I'd like to know is about Rosanne's eye shadow: Perhaps it was Cover Girl? Or, maybe it was.. Maybelline? She wears it so very well; don't you agree?

Here is "Shakin'..." ~

Is This Your Kinda Roller-Skating Song?

"My Kinda Lover" from 1981, may have been one of the most popular rollerskating rink songs, back-in-the-day. Who does not agree? And Billy Squire sings it full-power, in this 1981 concert ~



 And here is a reminder of skate-night in the '80's ~ 

 

Here's To Pat Green's Upbeat Catchy Toe-Tapping Tune From 2003 and To Happiness

Perhaps, we may all be looking for a bit of redemption; achievement, accomplishment, or saving.. and Pat Green sings an upbeat, catchy tune from 2003 called: "Wave On Wave" regarding, a little of that topic. So.. Here's.. to happiness; and a very balanced, toe-tapping tune ~


Pondering: A Profound and Cool Reminder of Connection ~ In the Song 'Cool Change'

The Little River Band may remind us in "Cool Change,"that we are all connected, in a very cool way. I am sure that you may also appreciate the profound and cool message of connection.

Change is good; and sometimes, (perhaps) we may need to reflect on the past, to advance towards the future.

Are You Also Deeply Moved by The Super-Sultry and Pure Allure of Kellie Pickler

Kellie Pickler certainly knows how to rock this country song: "Didn't You Know How Much I Loved You" -- and I did not know how much a song about loss, could bring out Kellie's soulful expression, as well as, the video presentation, capture her super-sultry and.. pure allure. Did you?

She does, indeed, express her deep emotion through this song ~
