It’s Friday and time for some old school! This weeks theme is Road Trip Songs. Back when the GF still lived in Denver and I was here in Ithaca, I was road tripping all the time, and yet, I had a hard time thinking of that quintessential road trip song for me. Fortunately for me, I make special road trip mixes. I dug one up and this was the first song on it.
While looking up this song on YouTube, I also found this great vid of an old Sly and the Family Stone rehearsal session. Having played in many bands myself, I don’t remember any rehearsal sessions being this bad ass.
As always, thanks to MsGrapevine and The Marvalus Chick for kick starting the Old School Fridays.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And on and on and on. Man, you made my Friday. This is great stuff, and I am a HUGE Sly Stone fan. And that rehearsal footage?? I mean damn. And like you, I’m a musician. Have been for over 20 years. And I have never been anywhere near a rehearsal that sounded that tight. Hell, I’ve PAID for live gigs that weren’t that tight!
Great, great choice. Happy OSF!
Keith ’s last blog post..Happy OSF: Yep, it really is Willie Nelson folks!
The jam session along could be the road trip song.
I’m still bopping my head @ the a capella breakdown.

Great picks. I love OLD SCHOOL FRIDAY..cause I am leaving in the past (musically).
That was a heavy jam session by SLY.
tho i don’t know if that sly thing is specifically road trip, what i do know is that you had me on a sly stone-you tube tangent for an hour! Thanks
