This is 19 minutes long, but worth your time if you love Linda Ronstadt. It's Linda looking her very best singing Blue Bayou. She even sings a verse in Spanish. Then she sits down for an extended interview with Johnny Carson that includes some sorta sexual energy between them. Linda comes off as smart and funny. This might have been her best period of her career. Enjoy.
The Uniques featuring Joe Stampley recorded at Robin Hood Studios in Tyler, Texas. Produced by Knox Henderson (who named himself after the exit on Central Expressway in Dallas). A beautiful song.

Friar Puck was a teacher at HP for a long time. Good guy.
Here's a great version of Layla by Clapton before he went all unplugged. Don't get me wrong, Eric unplugged is great too, but watching his electric solos is amazing. He knows how to start this one off too, about 45 seconds in.
Van Morrison with probably his best band line-up ever. Georgie Fame on the Hammond B-3, Brian Kennedy on vocals, Leo Green on tenor sax and a knocked-out horn section. Van at his best
>> An angel on a Harley Pulls across to greet a fellow rolling stone Puts his bike up on it's stand Leans back and then extends A scarred and greasy hand
He said "How ya doin' bro? Where ya been? Where ya goin'?"
Then he takes your hand In some strange Californian handshake And breaks the bone
(Have a nice day)
A housewife from Encino Whose husband's on the golf course With his book of rules Breaks and makes a 'U' and idles back To take a second look at you You flex your rod Fish takes the hook Sweet vodka and tobacco in her breath Another number in your little black book
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking Oh babe, I must be dreaming I'm standing on the leading edge The Eastern seaboard spread before my eyes "Jump" says Yoko Ono "I'm too scared and too good looking" I cried "Go on", she says "Why don't you give it a try? Why prolong the agony all men must die" Do you remember Dick Tracy? Do you remember Shane?
Child: "And mother wants you"
Could you see him selling tickets Where the buzzard circles over
Child: "Shane"
The body on the plain Did you understand the music Yoko Or was it all in vain?
Child: "Shane"
The ***** said something mystical "Herro" So I stepped back on the kerb again
These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking Oh babe, I must be dreaming again These are the pros and cons of hitchhiking
One of my former colleagues was a huge Roger Waters fan. Pink Floyd was really never my speed, but I did like Waters' "on the verge of losing control" style voice.
Bob Dylan said that this was the best (and his favorite) version of his composition, Positively 4th Street. Similarly, Van Morrison said nobody is better at covering other people's songs than Johnny Rivers. I personally think Van does a pretty good job at covers, himself.
