Happy St. Patrick's Day

a Couple of Favorites from the 70's

I have to start out with this one. These guys are a train wreck in this video, but I don't care. They still make me laugh. I dont like them just because Shel Silverstien wrote some songs with them, and he wrote all those great funny poetry books like Where the Sidewalk Ends, Falling Up, and A Light in the Attic. And I don't just like them because the lead singer is wearing an eyepatch... No, the main reason I love these guys is because my dad had their greatest hits tape when I was a kid, and it was playing in the car the first time he took me fishing with him. It brings back some great memories every time I hear those songs. This is my favorite song from Dr. Hook.



There are a bunch of songs from The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band that I really like too. The Battle of New Orleans, Fishing in the Dark, Mr. Bojangles, and Will the Circle be Unbroken. There are so many to choose from. I can't find their version of The Battle of New Orleans, so I picked a song that I had never heard of before, just because I like the way they look in it. Washington in Valley Forge:




This one is pretty good too. Marshall Tucker Band. Its so sweet because of the flute player.



Cat Stevens had a ton of great songs. I was trying to choose between this one and Morning Has Broken, but I picked this one to put on here. This dude can sing. He has a very distinct voice like Neil Diamond does (no Neil will be posted here). This song sounds just like The Flaming Lips song called "Flight Test." I love the Lips too!!!



The Band... Sweet happy memories to my ears.
