Hi all! TGIF! Its the Weekend! Remember that this Sunday starts Daylight Savings Time Spring Ahead! Whoo Whoo!
First of all, I lost my link to the This Day in Music History its no longer available and I havent found a good replacement yet.
Ive also been absent for the last few weeks. Sorry but I my cable modem went on the fritz and then Ive been super crazy busy looking for a new job (I can send my resume to anyone who is interested) and Ive also been helping out my niece and her husband who have an 11 month old baby and are now expecting again within the next month triplets!
Anyway, I heard this song on the radio and I wanted to share it beautiful and haunting. I hope you all like it as much as I did.

Missy Higgins - Where I Stood
She reminds me a bit of Anna Nalick
Anna Nalick - Wreck of the Day (acoustic)
Talking Heads - Life During Wartime
Gumby-man!
Classy.
Reminds me of my work-week, too.
Me too, ‘cept I’m the frozen guy.
That’s a good one!

No video, but the song is great!
So much talent in such a deeply injured personality. So sad. Thats my take on Andy anyway.
Looking at his videos at 17 yrs old and 53 yrs old http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COmTXAQKbc4 While he could knock them out of the ballpark, many of his performances were not improvisations, he simply was so high he could not remember long enough to stay in the song. And Noel Redding was probably right, he was the one running the band and JH showed up for the gigs
Listening to that song played on guitar makes me think it was probably originally written on guitar, with the harpsichord as an in-the-studio afterthought.

The link says Ry Cooder, but it’s Harry Dean Stanton doing the singing.
