Must have been '53 when the neighbors played this on their 45 phonograph,
high summer at the lake, a mountain rising out of the water, topped by a bald granite dome.
We would lie on our backs to watch the stars transit, meteorites whizzing, warmed by the smooth curved rock.
300' above the lake, we could see for miles around, a panoramic view of our Galaxy, infinity.
' That is the Andromeda Galaxy, 220 light years in diameter. '
' The silence of a falling star
Lights up a purple sky... '

Strangely enough, I described the Dead pretty much the same way, to one of my deadhead friends, back in 85 or so.
My favorite Dead track. And quite possibly one of my favorite songs.

I don't know if any of you remember Songman from here, from a while back.
He pretty much has zero use for "modern" country music, but is a follower and sometimes creator/performer of "old school" style country music.
He was close friends with Merle Haggard, and talks about him and his family frequently.[This message has been edited by Raydar (edited 08-07-2023).]

A scene right out of the ' Blues Brothers ' movie, ' Bob's Country Bunker ', '72, Windsor Hotel.
Big bar brawl, a rolly-polly local constable, totaled the three arched stained glass windows out front.
The band, ' King City Slickers' played on 'til closing time.
The Good Brothers, Fox On The Run, Gibson Centre, Alliston
Another tune they played that night.
Sure, I like toe tappin' country music.
Had to look it up... released in '76, so.. it was this version :
Manfred Mann '68
I did catch the Good Brothers in London, Ontario, around '77,
college venue downtown, a memorable night with a sweetheart right into rodeo, the fashion, the riding, horses, bikes.
Yee Haw ![This message has been edited by Valkrie9 (edited 08-09-2023).]

I don't care one bit for 'bro country' music or C&W 'singers' that can't carry a tune in a 5 gal bucket. Too many nowadays just 'talk' a song instead of actually singing.
Still like Toby Keith tho. At least he TRIES to hit some notes outside his comfort zone.

Dani Wilde is an English blues musician but this song has a "Country" feel to it. Her brother, Will is also a pretty good harp player.
