Not the most popular version of this song, but this version is very... earnest.  I guess it should be, since John Denver wrote the song.  And Mama Cass's harmonization in the chorus is sublime.

John Denver is awesome. I just hate this ***** song.

I'm feeling nostalgic today.

I miss 1980 with The Clash and Mikey Dread at the controls.

RIP Joe - it's been more than 20 years now.

RIP Mikey - it's been more than 15 years now.

Storm Thorgerson's death put this documentary in jeopardy of remaining incomplete...

 

After years of waiting, it was released on a limited theater run in 2023. The digital/BluRay release was last week! 

 

I highly recommend it for any fan of The Floyd!!! 

 

Shine on 💔

Herbie Flowers, bassist extraordinaire, who created the iconic bass line for Walk on the Wild Side, has died, aged 86.

I bought a two-pack of CDs on Amazon and they came in today:  Bob Seger's Night Moves along with Stranger in Town.  Bob Seger fits in a wonderful niche of rock and roll, storytelling, and country-western (or maybe honky-tonk?) that very few artists do.  I wouldn't call him his own genre or anything, but his music just kind of stimulates a spot in my brain like few other artists.

This is one of those that I think is kind of honky-tonk sounding:

We've Got Tonight from Stranger in Town was the theme for my senior prom.  I always that that was a terrible choice as it's a song about a one night stand but maybe that's the point of a senior prom since so many people are moving on to other things.

I am on the edges. I saw them 11 or 12 times starting 1976. I saw the Garcia band once and liked that concert a lot. I have never seen another band as often. Still play the albums.

I haven’t even really figured it out on Insta yet, but I will try.

Some seasonal music.  This album seems very autumnal to me, and since it got down into the 30s overnight here in Texas, I think it's time for autumn.

When I close my eyes and open my ears real wide I swear that I am listening to King Crimson.  Excellent !!

Two notes:

1. We have tickets to see Allison Krauss and Union Station in May.  Love her voice.

2. The album The Art of Tea by Michael Franks (1975) just plain slaps.  You've probably never heard of the album and if you ever knew who Michael Franks was you've probably long forgotten the name, but he had a minor hit with a song from the album called Popsicle Toes, which you might recall.

Stumbled on this gem tonight. I remember giving it to my Dad on vhs cassette in 91 or 92. Good memories watching that with him. 
 

Every tune is excellent.  But for me Leslie West, Wishbone Ash, Steve Hunter are incredible in this performance.
