nosey reporter: "whats he on"...

albert grossman: columbia records and tapes!











great retrospective in mojo on Blonde ON Blonde.
five star album all the way.
all the heavyweights and Joe South.
tee hee.
al Kooper was wrapped in Joes Comping.
Oh the games that people play.
and Michael is on it too playing the solo on Leopard Pillbox Hat
They all loved Mike.

so i had to get out the old samsung burner and whip off some hot cd's for the regular sound system.
my laptop just does not deliver the goods unless I run it through the amp and thats too much trouble.
I can find a nice level just to groove along on.
also did a nice waylon and willie plus a don and phil and glen campbell.
galveston has some tricky time shifts and learning it to match will be some task.
maybe I'll never complete it but its on the list.


"Galveston"

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea winds blowin'
I still see her dark eyes glowin'
She was 21 when I left Galveston

Galveston, oh Galveston, I still hear your sea waves crashing
While I watch the cannons flashing
I clean my gun and dream of Galveston

I still see her standing by the water
Standing there lookin' out to sea
And is she waiting there for me?
On the beach where we used to run

Galveston, oh Galveston, I am so afraid of dying
Before I dry the tears she's crying
Before I watch your sea birds flying in the sun
At Galveston, at Galveston

[Instrumental to end]
