My wife and I watched a great show on the Rural Channel last night. It was about famous songwriter , musician and singer Don McLean.
It was about his life, his songs, his music.
There was a period of time, around mid '60's to around 1971, when a lot of singers/musicians/groups came to my youthful attention.
People like Don McLean, Rod Stewart, Bob Dylan, the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, CCR (John Fogerty), the Guess Who (Burton Cummings/Randy Bachman), David Clayton Thomas, James Taylor, etc....who IMO...were wonderful performers. I still have their records, tapes, CD's...which I don't listen to, enough.
I saw Don McLean back in the '70's at an old Vaudeville 'palace' . There he was. McLean, a mike, a stool and basic stage lighting. But what a performance.
American Pie, Vincent, Starry, Starry night, etc. Think I drove my Chevy to the Levee...after the show...fortunately the Levee was dry.
