Hey Folks !

I hope you enjoy this one, I have set in this chair for 5 straight hours. My Butt cheeks are throbbin' and my fingers are numb. This tribute is to the The Midnight Special. A show that used to come on every Friday night. I was amazed at the excellent performances I found. The sound and the picture to most are great. It's quite a roster of Performers. If you look hard enough, you will find Dickey Betts and G.S.(Dickey was actually the host that night).

When you have time, sit back grab a cold one or light one up..or do both..and take a trip down memory lane. I enjoyed putting this togther for you all

You're the best Kenny, man, I remember almost evry one of these. Dig that double neck guitar/bass the guy in Argent had. And Hello Its Me by Todd, has there ever been a better song on the radio from the 70s? High school all over again! Thanks again for all of these.

What a great collection - thanks for all the work putting this together

It reminds me (sadly) of how far we've fallen backwards in regard to offering honest music to the mainstream. This stuff was on in the 70's, and anything like it would not even be considered by a bigger network today.

But I can't believe that it wouldn't have a good audience. We've still got so many of the original greats around, give them 60-90 minutes for a straight concert show, and I've gotta believe there would be a strong audience.

The only thing close to that is the concert series on HDNet. But it's a bit limited.

What a wonderful trip down memory lane! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together, Kenny. I, for one, definitely appreciate it! Used to love to watch Midnight Special. I thought Wolfman Jack was the coolest dude ever.

Kenny's just got a lot of times on his hands right now.

Gotta get my ass back to work soon.

This is getting to be a habit.

But it makes me happy to see you all enjoy them.

All I do is copy and paste and copy and paste. Watch and listen, watch and listen.

The cool folks are the ones that posted them on youtube.

Thanks Dan !
