"You are the music...
while the music lasts."
- T. S. Eliot -
This personal list of "lost gems & forgotten diamonds" continues.
(A reminder...songs will be from the 70s decade...but not exclusively.)
I strongly encourage everyone to purchase the albums for an even better understanding.
Part 13 - Let's Begin...
80:-->BOC -------"The Red & The Black" (5:57) --------Tyranny and Mutation (1973)

Make a dash for freedom baby... Don't skate on polar ice."
79:-->Bob Welch -----"The Ghost Of Flight 401" (3:12) -------Three Hearts (1979)

"In flesh & bone & clothes it came
on an eastern airline I can't name."
on an eastern airline I can't name."
Always a treat...when Welch throws his spooky-cool attitude into the telling of an unexplained occurrence that catches his fancy.
78:-->Stills-Young Band ----"Fontainebleau" (3:58) -----Long May You Run (1976)
A classic composition from Young about the decadence at an infamous hotel with Stills and Young trading fuzz-bite guitar.
77:-->Frank Zappa ------"Zomby Woof" (5:10) ------- Over-Nite Sensation (1973)

I thought I might get some sleep.
I stretched myself out on an antique bed
And my spirit did a midnight creep."
76:-->Steve Forbert ----------"Wait" (5:31) ----------Jackrabbit Slim (1979)
"Dancers and snow queens
handsome and lovely
skate on the lake
and fall deeply in love."
skate on the lake
and fall deeply in love."
Forbert and his uniquely descriptive obs...create vivid snapshots of winter with all its wonders and sadness. Shiver.
75:-->Jackson Browne ------"Rosie" (3:41) -------- Running On Empty (1978)

by now you'd think I'd learn...
That it's who you look like, not who you are."
74:-->Lou Reed ----------"Kill Your Sons" (3:40) ------------Sally Can't Dance (1974)
A powerful dose of personal truth about shock treatment delivered in matter-of-fact Lou Reed style. Biting guitar spank provided by Danny Weis.
73:-->Ted Nugent -------"Terminus El Dorado" (4:17) -------Scream Dream (1980)
Some wicked funkiness about the perils of taking daddy's car without permish.
72:-->Steely Dan -------"Show Biz Kids" (5:26) ------Countdown to Ecstasy (1973)

with the shade on the light.
While the poor people sleepin'
all the stars come out at night."
71:-->Grand Funk --"Sin's A Good Man's Brother" (4:51) -Closer To Home (1970)

Things on my mind, and I just don't have the time
and it don't seem right."
Bass. Guitar. Drums...Daddy like.
All good stuff! ...to be continued.
