The Story

Program (Past posts)
Act 1: Time
Act 2: Specific Time

Act 4: Months
Act 5: Days and Weekdays
Act 6: Weekends
Act 7
Act 7 only features songs with hour(s) in the song title; but the challenge for attendees is no duplicates.
Production Note
It has come to my attention that past acts have crashed browsers. Please 1) include the song title and artist in your text, and 2) paste the URL as part of your last line. The latter will provide a link, thus not embed the actual video. But I don’t mind unembedding.
Announcement
Ladies and gentlemen, to kickoff Act 7, a grand AFA welcome to a classic musician and member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame playing the Midnight Hour Blues – let’s hear it for Eric Clapton.

If memory serves me correctly, this is Merle’s first appearance in this series. Unfortunately, no “hour” in the title … but it qualifies for Act 2 – Specific Time …. so, given that it’s your first visit in this series, here’s Gene Pitney with 24 Hours from Tulsa … http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L8Hvzeut-VE

You requirements did not use quotation marks around the word “hour.” Clearly it was not clear that the word “hour” had to appear in the title. I will appeal this to a judge.

Your are on target in many ways. First of all, the song fits because “hour” is in the title. Second, great point about rough week. Third, love the fact of another genre added to the mix!

That’s an old hymn heard in farming communities – not just on Sundays. My post today reminded me of how my dad used to sing it – and then your post prompted me to go find it. WIn- win!
