A Million Miles Away

The Plimsouls***Peter Case & crew. Early eighties found many a good band; Botched up by conglomerate ineptitude.

Along with 20/20 out of Tulsa...they were quite the cats' meow. Seems like yesterday...*

Ordinary Average Guy

Joe Walsh*** I can't get enough of this man. His humor, his humble heart full of talent & his perceptions of the world are gently satirical...& Mr. Walsh is great. Has that been said before...?

Godspeed to you sir...*

Can We Still Be Friends

Todd Rundgren***I never thought that one could truly have a platonic friendship. But, it can be accomplished, if you keep your mind in the right place & have honest intentions.

The flip side of the coin, is that the other person must hold up their share of the friendship. So, if there is a mutual respect by both parties, it can be done. But it's not easy...*

I Don't Wanna Know


Julian Lennon***Short version from a live concert - Hyde Park London. Julian had said that they wanted to do a song that sounded like the Beatles. It is a very good track, let your ears tell the tale...*

On Again Off Again

Sean Lennon***A smooth tart tune with interesting chromatics & counterpoint melody to boot. Mr. Lennon's work would go oh so well in a cinematic platform.

The simple act of vocal & acoustic guitar, already show the arrangements that one could pursue according to perspective.

The more he does it, the better he gets...*

Wait For Me

Sean Lennon***A man of many colors & tastes; All driving down the road of his own making. As the angels from above, cavort & dance to his music.

The more that I listen to his material, the more I am convinced of his hybrid talents. I prefer the second album to the first But, What Do I Know Anyway...*

Theme From Midnight Cowboy


John Berry tilts the melody, whilst the movie flashes the visual. If your eyes don't sweat on this one, I don't know what else to say...*

The Party's Over (Hopelessly In Love)

Journey***I'm frankly not a fan, but I respect. I can find a bit of this or that song, that grabs my button pins...So I'll say it's this one. Basically, the opening guitar riff ; That could be a tune on its' own...*

I Wish You Love

Chrissie Hynde***This is a beautiful song & she has a beautiful voice. Her vocal range between modal & falsetto, spans quite a river of register ; Also to include a wonderful vibrato in certain applications. What do I mean in plain speak, the babe can sing her ass off. Pardon my French...But What Do I Know Anyway...*

Lovers are Mortal-(Live)-1978

Bill Nelson's Be Bop Deluxe***I always felt that lovers & true-blue friends are immortal. I guess it's what you believe in, at the time; But What Do I Know Anyway...*
