You HAVE to check out Dr Hook and the Medicine Show, they rock hard, are very funny, and sing dirty songs! LOL too funny. Shel Silverstein wrote alot of their songs, the off color ones anyway. My fave is Freakin' at the Freaker's Ball, I have NEVER heard that on the radio, I think it is banned.
Look them up on you tube,if you like them let me know and I will send you a list of the upbeat stuff. Happy listening and {{{{{{{hugs}}}}}} Hope you feel better soon. Now I sure am glad MY appendix ruptured, never knew before that could be a GOOD thing.
