Cover Hairbands and Bacon Friday


All this week with "3:15 Trivia" you could win a pair of pavilion tickets to The Beach Boys 50th Anniversary Tour at SPAC this Saturday courtesy of Live Nation! Tickets are on-sale now at Livenation.com.

It's a "Cover Song Hairband and Bacon Friday"! Besides the Power Ballad Hairband's also liked to cover a classic song or two. So here are two Hairband covers for you which I hope you remember and enjoy:

First up these guys had hits with "Wait" and "When the Children Cry" but do you remember this cover of the classic Golden Earring tune?

 

and this is one of my favorite cover songs from this era. The band House of Lords did a cover of a great Traffic song and it came out pretty darn awesome!

and thanks to Jillian in my office for sharing this tasty sweet Bacon recipe:

Weekdays 2pm-7pm
I live in Saratoga Springs with my incredible and UNDERSTANDING wife Amy and the two centers of our universe, our daughters Alexa and Carys. Besides bacon I like a good single malt, music of all types from AC/DC to Yanni, soccer, the Red Sox, the Steelers and long walks on the beach with a......nevermind.

I hope you'll tune each weekday from 2-7pm as we navigate the end of the workday, school day, housework day together. I'll try and add in a little humor, a thought or two to ponder, some sweet FREE STUFF and some great music!
