To this day I still play Suite:Judy Blue Eyes. Such a great fun song to do. Their version of Woodstock is so different to Joni's but no less good. Wooden Ships is just breathtaking......

Anyway, half a dozen of my guilty 70s pleasures I've been listening to of late:

Sailor - Glass Of Champagne:

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

Graham Gouldman - Sunburn:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbtW8KB7C8Y

Dave Edmunds - Girls Talk:

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

Beckett - A Rainbow's Gold:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqh0CfT-nWQ

McGuinn, Clark & Hillman - Don't You Write Her Off:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziaoLnh_1X8

Henry Gross - Shannon:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A822OKFMQTM
Spoiled to billy-o we were :D :wink:

PS: Happy belated 70th to Stephen Stills (3rd Jan) , my musical godfather. Long may he run :wink:
Shannon by Henry Gross.
The greatest song ever written about the loss of a dog.
Immortal lines......"Shannon has gone....maybe she'll find an island with a shady tree, just like the one in our backyard"
Magic.

Saw Kenny rogers tonight, was awesome. He's really fragile looking, but he's just had a knee reconstruction. Little worried when he toddled out looking like Santa, but wow, he still rocked it! Some great jokes, all the songs I love, film clips to match, the crowd all sung the gamble and lucille, and the chorus of other songs. I drive my kids nuts singing Lenny jump of the bridge love songs! I was in tears listening to the real thing. Such a fantastic night.

Cheers

Glad you enjoyed it. Recordings are good but there's still nothing like seeing a musician perform live.

Gave this a spin this afternoon. Vale Margot Moir. Some of the sweetest harmonies of all time for mine.

Damn.
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.

Heard this pop shit on the radio and now it wont get out of my head. I swear music must be written by psychologists to go on replay in your mind.

I saw the name as it was loading and closed the window quick smart. That was a close one!
