Re: Musical Tastes
 
Here's an original version two-fer, from the same artist:

BW's version came out I week before the TDN single..
Written by Daniel Moore about a mythical place or state of mind ..or maybe both.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUKijjWpim8

This one was also written by Moore but BW added a verse so he's on the writer's credit as well..
Released long before most of the cover versions

No, the late seventies wasn't all disco...

Jay Ferguson was a founding member of the LA band, Spirit.

As he would say, Let's go to Thunder Island

Live, from Japan >

Formed in J-ville by Donnie Van Zandt, younger brother of Ronnie, and therefore typecast as a Southern Rock band..
They never really sounded that way to me ...More 70's -80's Rock /Pop
But here's one of my favorites by them...It's been running through my head for a few days, and now maybe I can pass it off.
LOL

Happy 3rd..

This one is from page 4, a long time back..

PPL is only known on my least favorite format, for one song ,even though they still exist and have made many albums.
I think that Irving, at the agency in NYC had a daughter named "Amie" and he told the DJs at "classic rock" just this one time only...

But you can hear many more...right here :-)

This two-fer is too good to pass up..Two Father songs on the same album..This will be my Tuesday two-fer ;-)


"I'll catch the tram line in the morning
With your leave", Van Bushell said
He had further heard the **** crow
As he stumbled out the shed
Then blind Joseph came towards him
With a shotgun in his arms

He said, "You'll pay me twenty dollars
Before you leave my farm"
Van Bushell saw a hook
Which replaced Joseph's hand

He said, "Now calm you down, my brother
Let's discuss this man to man"
It's no good you getting angry
We must try to act our age
You're pursuing your convictions
Like some hermit in a cage

You're the son of your father
You try a little bit harder
Do for me as he would do for you

With blood and water, bricks and mortar
He built for you a home
You're the son of your father
So treat me as your own

Well, slowly Joseph barely lowered the rifle
And he emptied out the shells
Van Bushell, he came towards him
He shook his arm and wished him well

He said, "Now, hey, blind man, that is fine
But I sure can't waste my time
So move aside and let me go my way
I've got a train to ride"

Well, Joseph turned around
His grin was now a frown
He said, "Let me just refresh your mind
Your manners, boy, seem hard to find"

You're the son of your father
You try a little bit harder
Do for me as he would do for you

With blood and water, bricks and mortar
He built for you a home
You're the son of your father
So treat me as your own

Well there's two men lying dead as nails
On an East Virginia farm
For charity's an argument
That only leads to harm

So be careful when they're kind to you
Don't you end up in the dirt
Just remember what I'm saying to you
And you likely won't get hurt

You're the son of your father
Oh, try a little bit harder
You gotta do for me as he would do for you

With blood and water, bricks and mortar
He built for you a home
You're the son of your father
So treat me as your own

You're the son of your father
So treat me as your own
You're the son of your father
So treat me as your own, yeah

Back on the CA. virtual roadway...
Scott McKenzie was a band mate of John Philips, who wrote this song..
If you might have guessed, John's daughter McKenzie was named after him. Thankfully he didn't name her Scott ;-)

I don't know a damn thing about California. Never been west of the Mississippi. So I'll have to stay home here in Ohio. These guys played the local clubs in the mid to late 70's. There were bars.. The Swallows, JR's Bar and Grill and the Newark Lounge that they played repeatedly. If you went, be prepared. Standing room only, smoke filled and HOT. Thin girls with Mini skirts and tight little halter tops were the norm. Quaaludes and Cocaine was everywhere in those days. Heck guys would show up with zip lock bags full of diet pills as they were still legal. They were actually Bi-Amphetamines ie. Black Beauties.. Talk about dancing all knight !!. The drug that Bill Crosby used to get the pants off of women was indeed Quaaludes. But back then women took them like candy. I witnessed girls getting up on stage and sticking ludes down players throat's right in the middle of songs. A Bar fight out front (of the Swallows place) landed me in the hospital for 3 days one time. LOL. God those were fun and crazy times. Anyway, the lead guitarist ( Mark Chatfield) joined Bob Seger and the Silver Bullitt Band and the Godz were never the same.

Eddie posted a Joni Mitchell song (Coyote) on 07-01-2020. She wrote this, but never went to the Festival. CSN&Y covered it. James Taylor as well. It`s nice to see the Supreme Court working, like I understood it should work, when I was a kid, back then. Happy Third Anniversary to this thread. Great Idea Mark.
