Old chums

   Continuing the theme of mid-20th century musicians re-creating the magic in the 21st, I herewith present this duo. Two voices and a guitar. 

Really a gem once you get past the vapid banality of the morning gabfest 'personalities'.

Go Blind

 

Was it now?

This guy was once a backing guitarist for rock & roll pioneer Don Everly's band.  The song maybe evokes some of the feel of that era.

In a motel in Fort Worth...

This song was inspired...

Not my favorite take, but there's sure some solid gold talent backing W&W on that stage.

In the game

   My mind works in strange ways.  Tommy Boy has a post showing a sheep stuck in a tire swing. Somehow, I jumbled the messages and images from this old commercial with his .gif.

For Auld Lang Syne

Ev'ry Picture Tells a Story

 Don't it though?

(Aside: I have stood where Macca is standing 

- Red Square, not onstage.)

Edit: In that same time frame (late February '75), my [junior HS] running buddy Marcus and I spent an evening in our Leningrad/St. Petersburg hotel bar committing diplomacy with some CCCP sailors (and their wives/girlfriends) on shore leave, while a Russian band bravely attempted several covers of Western rock music, including - naturally - some by the Fab Four.  After one of our hosts had admired my western bolo tie (with a horse head, originally from JC Penney's in Irving, TX, IIRC), most of the evening, I gifted it to him or his girlfriend (hence, diplomacy). It was probably the pinnacle act of détente, or the seminal moment of гласность.

Stuck in my head.

What I didn't know then.

Forgiveness.

Forgiveness.

Quark?
