Damn...
I love this guy's soulful, raspy voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLQJ4toj-JY
sharehownos introduced me to them a few years back and I liked them so much that I ended up buying all their albums.
shareWow, that says a lot!
shareHe was about 5 years older than me and was into a lot of bands that I hadn’t been acquainted with. That’s one of the things I miss about him.
shareYeah, hownos was an overall good poster here. I sort of miss him also, now that you mention it. We both love Elvis and Johnny Cash music.
shareHe also introduced me to The Little River Band and A Foot In Coldwater.
shareOh wow! Haven't thought of that band in a long time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PPsevhQkn68 What a great song to wake up to. "A thousand mile journey begins with a single step."
shareThat's twice today you compelled me to say "wow!" I'm hoisting a scoop to you in recognition of that. 🍻
shareSliánte 🍻
shareSo, "hoisting a scoop" is the right expression then? I'll forever make that mental connection now whenever I fill my mug.😁🍻
shareI’m trying to make the concept of drinking scoops go global, lol.
shareYou need to do a Budweiser commercial at this year's Super Bowl. You'll take in millions. Btw, I've seen those magnificent Clydesdales up close in a parade; got some great pictures https://www.anheuser-busch.com/about/clydesdale
shareReally? Sorry for butting in on the conversation, but I’m so surprised you weren’t aware of Little River Band before that, Andy. I definitely would have just assumed you not only knew them, but had all their albums.
Cool Change is my LRB song of choice. Slightly corny and overblown, but the harmonies KILL! Many a drunken sing-along to that one in my time.
They never had a hit in the UK and although I was toing and froing between Florida and England when they were at their most popular they didn’t make as big an impact on me as say Boston or Styx.
Once I started listening to them, I remembered tracks like Lonesome Loser and thought, ahhh, so that’s who it was.
