    And here it is. Crappy video, but the legit live performance. Much better without the disturbing drums from nowhere. Plus, the guitar leads ring through as they should on an acoustic with no effect pedal.

    Indeed, Mike! I like the no training comment. I always felt hampered as a guitar player by being so hung up on music theory.

    Back to the song: 1974 - brings me back to when I was a preteen just starting to smoke whatever stems and seeds weed I could get my hands on. Pretty sure that song was on the radio often when I was hanging out with friends while mildly stoned. All sorts of amazingly potent options ever known now available at your local corner pot store, but I no longer indulge. Haven't for a very long time.

    Never did figure out how to embed...maybe the Doobie Brothers don't want me to....but damn they were good, and Michael McDonald's voice is incomparable. And actual instruments.....

    Takes me back.

    With the magic formula including Randy Meisner, Glen Frey and Bernie Leadon. So good. Another gem:

    Nice deep cuts, Tom.

    It took me too long to appreciate their first album. Solid, end to end.

    Don’t like Country? Don’t like Justin Timberlake?
    You should still watch this, play it loud, and watch the whole thing.
    When you can get a bunch of pros to geek out, you’re doing something right. Awesome!

    For anyone interested in the Eagles music and the evolution of the band and their sound, there's a great documentary on them: "History of the Eagles"
    It was free on Amazon Prime when I saw it (now a $4 rental).

    Beautiful.


    I am leaving Mississippi in the evening rain
    These Delta towns wear satin gowns
    In a high beamed frame
    Loretta Lynn guides my hands through the radio
    Where would I be in times like these
    Without the songs Loretta wrote?
    When you can't find a friend
    You've still got the radio
    When you can't find a friend
    You've still got the radio
    Radio, listen to the radio
    Radio, listen to the radio
    I left a handsome two stepped good ole boy in Tennessee
    Now, he's sittin' on the sofa, lookin' for his supper,
    Wonderin' what's become of me
    I've got a double-o-eighteen Martin guitar in the
    Back seat of the car
    Hey, I'm leaving Mississippi,
    With the radio on
    When you can't find a friend
    You've still got the radio
    When you can't find a friend
    You've still got the radio
    Radio, listen to the radio
    Radio, listen to the radio
    There's a moon across the border in the Louisiana sky
    I smell the Pontchartrain, I hear Silver Wings
    Then, away Merle Haggard flies
    That good ole boy will find a Band of Gold
    On the stereo
    Hey, then my Mama's gonna call and say,
    "Where's she gone?"
    He'll say, "Down the road with the radio on."

    Sad news yesterday. Just popped on here this morning to post a Nanci Griffith video, but I see job already done. Thanks.

    Here's one of my favorites from the same performance. This ACL PBS show introduced me to her in '92, I wish I could find the whole lineup from that night... it was amazing!



    I soooo miss the 90's...

    Done quite well, for 50 years after the original release.

    Nightmares on Wax was one of the first artists to turn me on to the "Trip Hop" genre back in the late 90's, back around when Carboot Soul was released. Great stuff!

    For now, I'll turn my attention back to the late Nanci Griffith for at least another couple days. The last three posts in this thread sort of come across as a wild left-hand turn to what was a nice little memorial to a great American artist lost too soon. I'm sure no offense was intended, and no offense taken.
