Ten Favorite Music Songs: My Music (#7)

Tweet

As I watch the Stanley Cup Finals, where it appears that some "home cooking" has helped the Predators, I'll give you another one of the songs on my list of favorite "music" songs....that is, songs that have the word music in the title. This one is a classic, and here it is. #7: My Music - Loggins & Messina And if I'm accused by some (cough-cough @JohnRoberts cough-cough) of ranking this song highly because of the Poco connection....not all that guilty as charged, but it didn't hurt! Loggins and Messina was a duo that consisted of a well-known star and an unknown singer/songwriter. Unlike today, where you might think Loggins was the well-known star (as he is today), it was Jim Messina, who'd been in Buffalo Springfield and Poco, who was the established member of the duo. They had some fun music ("Your Mama Don't Dance" is the song that is forever played on classic rock and "oldies" stations, as if they never recorded another song) in their career before Loggins' solo career made him a superstar and sort of left Messina in the dust. Here you can definitely hear the Poco influence....not in the music, but in the lyrics. "Little Timmy Schmit's got his old man's van." Gee, wonder where Messina picked that name up from? This is a great song, and it pretty much explains me in a nutshell: don't you know that i love my music.
