Hi there! How are ya?

 It's been a long time...


Pretty maize all in the road.

Trying to catch up

   I think I've admitted before that I became aware of Dylan largely from other artists' covers of his works.  The Kingston Trio, PP&M, Jimi, Baez (although in the latter's case, I was already aware of Bob, and their relationship, but found her treatments of his songs more listenable).

Now, something completely weird

   I remember trying to watch this movie (VHS rental, 35+ years ago).  This is a quite bizarre performance - feels rushed - but I do like the double-time bass solo at the end. 


    I hope Venus and Mars are alright.

Live Bullet

IIRC, the AOR DJs of the '70s utilized this pairing if they needed to visit the loo...


A brilliant segue, and one of my favorite Seger performances.

Another pairing I remember - but I have trouble verifying this - was Ronstadt's cover of Phil Everly's When Will I Be Loved, followed directly by Willin' (Lowell George/Little Feat cover).

Git along...

To this day, Linda's album named for this song remains my favorite.  While I didn't initially like this version as well as hers, I now value them equally.

The album was produced by Jackson Bowne, featuring Don & Glenn, Lindsey & Stevie, Waddy, Phil Everly, wünderkind multi-instrumentalist David Lindley and Rosemary Butler, Bonnie Raitt, Carl Wilson, and several stellar session players - a who's who of the L.A. scene in the '70s.

Between the groovy 59th and 110th

I feel a bit like a plagiaristic schlub posting the same song as another, venerable, blogifier, but this is a version I really dig. 


Check out the platter on that turntable! Gotta be super-low wow & flutter.

About last night...

 This always makes a good sing-a-long at the pub...


   Are they on the set for 'Houses of the Holy'?
