I listen to "Always" and I'm thinking of fabulous Mrs WW, from happy courting days to the sweetest honeymoon, through all the years, all the sunsets, all the sunrises, all the hard times, near disaste

Listening to this with the speakers up way too loud in memory of C.W. McCall (William Dale Fries Jr) who died this weekend aged 93. He wrote and performed some great music for driving.

10-7 C.W.

I don't know why.. but this song came into my head this afternoon...

 

 

Of course it was the sort of thing I didn't admit to liking back in the early 60's. Very uncool.. But a great song.

 

Another from around the same time..

I loved that to bits when it came out. If I remember correctly, the B side was a version of 'My Mother's Eyes'.  Through more edjercated ears I find Kenny's stuff more than a bit 'oversyncopated' these days.. as in 'abap daba abadap dap..adaba dap dap adapa dap adap.',but it was fun at the time and I loved all of the 'Trad' bands.

I have once again sat listenin to that old son by Tex Ritter. Deck of Cards. Then read the wording once again. I sat and thought about the words and who ever thought about them and wrote it down, must have had a good memory I still find it worth listenin  too.

My apologies  :sorry: -  I obviously read your post to mean something that was not an intended meaning by you ie  "So..having got that off of my chest.... :)..  Here's another 1967 'Northern Soul' classic I was playing before anyone had heard of Northern Soul.."

Peace...Man.. :)

I was knocked out by this in 1965.  And like many at the time and many still, I didn't know it was a cover of the US singer Bessie Banks' original:

 

 

A somewhat more mature Moody Blues:

 

 

And finally, the only worthwhile song in my opinion from the pretentious pap that constituuted their album: 'In Search of the Lost Chord'
