Dave Mason-We Just Disagree

[toddausauras]

It’s really a major a.m. radio essential from that time. Perfect record.

[willgolfforfood]

Great great song!!

[Magic Fingers]

Totally subjective...I thought “Feelin’ Alright” and “Only You Know and I Know” were great tunes, but IMO “We Just Disagree” was a snoozer and devoid of dynamics.

So high rock me baby and roll me away.

[Night Hides Not]

Give Dave’s rendition of “Along the Watchtower” a spin, it’s great.

Billy Dean covered it in 1993.

He had several successful songs in the early 90s. My son William (1994) was called Billy as a young boy, on account of Billy Dean. He calls himself Will these days, though. He lives in New York City and works in advertising for a bank.

1). There is no such thing as an essential Yacht rock song because they're all horrible.

2) This one not only has the typically bland yacht rock instrumentation, but incredibly schmaltzy lyrics as well. Would have been rejected for some terrible 70's "Movie of the Week" about divorce.

Dave Mason (1974), I know every song by heart.
All Along the Watchtower,

i don’t know from Yacht Rock, but it still hurts sometimes...

Saw Dave Mason and Jim Krueger at an actual yacht bistro in FL in the early 1980's. Hands-down one of the best shows I've ever seen, evah. My date, an au-pair from Sweden who happened to a classically-trained pianist (and therefore the real deal) was even more amazed at the sound those two created, just the two of them. I still can remember the vocal harmonies of that song reverberating through my bones.

At the same venue, around the same time (with a different date), I had the happy occasion of seeing Pure Prairie League, in a lineup that contained Al Garth. Again, tremendous show -- something about that room -- and Al led the most rousing rendition of "Willie and the Hand Jive" that I have ever heard. Evah! Rock on, kiddies.

I sat at a bar in St. Thomas and had a beer with Dave Mason, who lived on the island, back in 1989. I was on my honeymoon at the time. He was much more interesting to talk to than my new wife. A couple days later, Hurricane Hugo visited and destroyed the island, stranding my wife and I there for a couple of weeks. The hurricane was an omen for my marriage.

Not yacht rock. But a great song. I heard him call Rush one time.

[NetAddicted]

I listen to Music Choice on cable (during long commercials). They have a Yacht Rock channel. I still don’t know what it is.

[The Fop]

I think this one qualifies as a lost Yacht Rock classic.

I preferred Mystic Traveler.

The good old days when Midnight Special was live and they actually played and sang.

Years later they went to lip syncing.

First time I heard Mason's "Baby Please" on WMMR radio In,I think 1973 I said that's what I like and that's what I want to play! I've been playing guitar ever since. I met Dave Mason about 10 years ago when he was doing a small gig at a Casino in West Virginia. He was a bit smart ass at first and I said "Oh sorry I bothered you I get it now." He looked up at me and said "don't go anywhere." After the crowd filtered out he called me over and I got some swell pics and we talked a bit.
