Townes' sad passing made all of his soulful music instantly nostalgic.

Live at the old Quarter is one of his very best albums, btw.

For the sake of the song -

Song: Broken Arrow
Artist: Robbie Robertson

<iframe width="420" height="315" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/nsZYq-51Njg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

This song is from his first solo album, which came out in 1987. But it never gets old for me.
 
Yea, Tip- Robbie Robertson, good artist, he's done some nice stuff over the years.

Here's one I love:

Jan Hammer did some real nice stuff back in the late 70's or so- this is one of them - "Don't You Know", the extended version:

Song: Someday Soon
Artist:Judy Collins

Nice guitar work on this, plus Judy's sweet vocals.
 
Song: Him
Artist: Rupert Holmes

I never get tired of that song.

He's also the same artist that did "Escape The Pina Colada" song
 
The little sparrow.

Love Parisian cafe music. And I simply adore the haunting pleading romantic and lyrical voice of this little legend.

I can image the sound drifting from the cafes and through the streets of montmartre on a hot summer night in the 1940's.

This is a couple of weeks late. April 25th, Anzac day "celebrates " the 1915 slaughter of Australian and New Zealand troupes at Galipoli. Next Spring is 100 Years.

In 1971 Scotsman Eric Bogle wrote perhaps the most powerful anti-war song ever.

Coverd here by the Pogues:


"And the Band Played Waltzing Matilda", No lie, I tear up every single time.

Love the Pogues, though the song of theirs that fires me up the most is Thousands are Sailing (and I'm not even Irish)

Thinking of the Tuckers and southern rock from the 70's reminded me of this wonderful and beautiful song from Dickey Betts & Great Southern:

Never gets old for me either, he's one of my favorites... great performer.
 
I got some time to myself, some cold Rolling Rock and Elvis Aloha from Hawaii on the Tv.
 
Eric Clapton - doing a super soft, beautiful, blues number:

I've enjoyed listening to some of the songs that have been posted. I myself was never quite onboard with groups like the Stones or Aerosmith (certainly others too, but this is just a sample) when they began but grew to like them as time passed. It probably helped that Paul's taste in music was much more diverse than mine and thus we listened to so much more than what I had limited myself to in 'my younger days'. And, like the topic of this thread - nostalgia - that added to our enjoyment. Now listening to the eclectic mix that we enjoyed brings back good memories.

All four of these songs feature some really fine guitar work. Enjoy.
 
One of the great hippie bands of all time- "It's a Beautiful Day" - they did a number of great tunes, "Hot Summer Day" is one of them:
