On Friday's our friend TRAVIS from Trav's Thoughts does a fun game called FIVE ON FRIDAY, where the participants put together a set of five songs. The sets can be random, specific to an artist, specific to a genre, or in the case this week Progressive.
Start with a song and then see how the progression from one song to another builds.
This is a fun one and I had a blast building this set.
Here are the general rules for FIVE ON FRIDAY:
Check out the other participants by clicking on his link above...and join in!
You can register for free at playlist.com and type in a band name and BAM the song will be there to assist in building your playlist.
Travis lays out some guidelines for this meme and they go like this:
1. Grab the banner, make your post title Five on Friday, and be sure to link back here.
2. Go to Playlist.com to make your play list of five songs. Choose a particular theme to share with us. You can simply post the play list, or you can add a little summary about what you are sharing.
3. I don't know how to make a specific linky, so be sure to leave me a comment to let me know that you participated.
4. No tags, but feel free to invite your friends to play along if they need a post topic on a Friday.

OK, so the progression:
1) BLACKBIRD - The Beatles - This played on my iTouch and I decided to make it my jumping off point. Written by Paul, though credited to McCartney/Lennon), McCartney explained on PBS's Great Performances (Paul McCartney: Chaos and Creation at Abbey Road), aired in 2006, that the guitar accompaniment for "Blackbird" was inspired by J.S. Bach's Bourrée in E minor, a well known lute piece, often played on the classical guitar...
This caused me to jump to:
2)BOUREE - Jethro Tull - from their album "Stand Up", which Anderson rearranged from the JS Bach song...
Ah Rock and Roll Flute...and this led me to:
3) UNDUN - Guess Who - because it has a very cool flute solo at about the 2:15 mark in the song...
Well, the next step was easy, since guitarist for the Guess Who was Randy Bachman, we chose...
4) TAKIN' CARE OF BUSINESS - Bachman Turner Overdrive - one of their huge hits from the album Bachman–Turner Overdrive II...
And of course, Takin' Care Of Business became a catch phrase and the TCB logo was placed on his airplane, the Lisa Marie...so
5) DEVIL IN DISGUISE - Elvis Presley -
Hope you enjoyed the progression that sprang from my brain cells.
Try it yourself someday...it makes you think and can lead you in so many directions!
HAVE A GRAND WEEKEND!
