William's Song a Day Blog - est. September 2007

From: Working Holiday! ; Year: 1994; Genre: Indie Rock Well... another year comes to a close. This one kinda had it all across the board as far as its ups and downs, but overall I cannot complain about 2018. As for my blog, I started into my 11th year of doing this endeavour and ploughing right on through the 4000s; at this point I couldn't imagine not doing a daily post as part of my daily routine. Anyway, I though I'd pick something appropriate for the occasion; this piece of " grungy " sounding mid-90s music just felt absolutely perfect for the day. I'll catch ya all tomorrow next year!

From: Wilderness ; Year: 1976; Genre: Country/Rock It's been many, many years since I've heard this song or anything from the album for that matter. I used to be a huge fan of his music when I was little, I still like his material, just it shares space with a gargantuan amount of music that I like, which is continuing to grow in size. Anywho, if you've been acquainted with his music you know what to expect: basically a type of truck driver rap over some good music. Hear Riverside Slide on YouTube.

From: Someone Loves You Honey ; Year: 1977; Genre: Country I've had this song on my mind most of the day thus far. For that matter it gets stuck in my mind a lot otherwise too; it's very catchy.

From: You Are What You Is ; Year: 1981; Genre: Jazz Fusion It's always nice having Christmas over with, not that I hate the Holiday or anything like that, but it is very nice to have the holiday stress over with.
