For my friends who dig music, trivia and especially musical-trivia:

Here is another selection from Chamæleon Church, called "Spring This Year"

One day you'll walk the world and keep in mind
The heart you've been given in winter time
And through the bitter cold, with opened eyes
You'll find the strength to fight and stand upright"

Gojira
"Born in Winter"

Rivers of Nihil
"Where Owls Know My Name"

Who's into yacht stuff?

Brand-spanking new, here's "Everymornin'" with Coleman Mellet, Chuck Mangione (!), Larry Goldings, Steve Gadd (!), Barry Miles and Will Lee

OK, just one more from my country jag.

I vividly remember this one playing in a darkened roller rink (ask your dad/grandpa) when the couples-only time would start (ask your mom/grandma).

I was 11 years old and wheeled all around the place looking for a girl I knew, because I wanted to ask her if she would go out and skate with me.

Never found her (her parents had already picked her up), so yeah, the song was doubly sad.

A song I would hum to my baby boy to comfort him and help him get back to sleep, though I didn't know what song it was.

Years later I hummed it to my mom, asking if she knew it.

She looked at me in surprise and said it was the song she would sing to me when I was a baby.

Probably not the most appropriate song to hum to your newborn child, but I guess it was popular a few years before I was born.

So here's Jim Reeves with "He'll Have to Go"

Fact: You won't hear many country or bluegrass picks from me.

But my Saturday just took an unexpected lateral jag into an old playlist.

So here is Kathy Mattea with "Love Chooses You"

Yes there is something you can do my love
Won't you help me through these troubled times
And serve to remind
That everything is gonna be alright
Despite my fighting bitter tears
These are the very best years

"Very Best Years" by The Grays

How it rambles 'round the moon
A let-go-of balloon
Nothing is forever
everything is soon

Hold your head up high.

Before there was Yes, there was the original Syn.

(sorry, couldn't resist)

Here is The Syn with "Flowerman"
