I’m a huge Joe Walsh fan.
Loved “Meadows”

I listened to the James Gang back when. Funny, how a few albums I listened to, when I hear them now, sound sort of simplistic and garage band like.
The some of the James Gang sounds simplistic, but I heard one the other day, a band called Trapeze. Boy talk about Garage Band Deluxe, and a song I still hear occasionally “Hot Smoke and Sassafras”.
M4L James Gang
One of the few albums I was able to buy at the time. Can’t remember which one. Those brain cells are long gone.
YouTube is pretty amazing. They have collected massive amounts of video from the past. Old commercials, old TV shows and countless amateur video of our past. What an archive.
On May 29-30 1983, I went to the US Festival in Devore, CA as a young Marine stationed at Camp Pendleton. Pretty much every concert I saw those days is now on YouTube and pans of the crowd show exactly where I was sitting and as the technology improves, I'm pretty sure I can zoom in on that footage and actually view myself as a 20-year-old again.
That's just one example. It's like going back into a time machine.
Tend My Garden was my favorite
The song is basically a love song, no profound message in it. My ear isn't to the point where it can convert what it hears, onto the fretboard. Well, some things, but not this one.
