Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with THE BABYS!

Newsflash, Johnny loves Jon Waite and The Babys. Always has and always will. Their use of backup singers was almost peerless. Let's get this party started tonight with 'Isn't It Time'

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with JERRY HARRISON!

Johnny was actually considering this number by Talking Heads alum Jerry Harrison for our big New Year's Eve all-day Music Series but Johnny heard it in the car today and the die was cast. 'Rev It Up' getting you out of your chair tonight.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with FLEETWOOD MAC!

Oh this song. It's on like every playlist Johnny has for driving or a home event. This is the song Stevie Nicks was born to sing. Johnny just loves loves loves it. 'Sara' taking us out tonight all dreamlike.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with SMOKEY ROBINSON & THE MIRACLES!

Released in December of 1965, and 56 years later and, 'Going to a Go-Go' still fresh and hot as the day it was released. FYI, Smokey is a great follow on Twitter,

Motown for the win once again.

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with NEIL YOUNG & CRAZY HORSE!

Not many rock and roll songs make Johnny happy like this rocker. Fabulous, this one. The whole album is tip top and this could have been 3 or 4 different tracks but tonight it's 'Hey Hey, My My (Into the Black).

Friday night MULTIMEDIA EXTRAVAGANZA with k.d.lang!

Sure we capitalize the band names in the headline on the Music Series but k.d. lang never has and darn it Johnny has enough respect for her and her music to go with that. Before her passing Mrs. Johnny had bought Johnny birthday tickets to see k.d. lang in NYC. She passed between buying them and the concert and Johnny just couldn't imagine going solo. He gave the tickets to two wonderful neighbors and they said the show was magnificent.

Of course it was, it's k.d. lang, here with 'Anywhere But Here' taking us out tonight.
