I'...Great story 'bout the summer of '74. I'd just turned 18 and got arrested for streaking, but that's another story. I too, (as you might have guessed) was obsessed with records. As much as I liked the Stones (the Beatles, not as much), I needed my own music. There were dozens of English bands that became my objects of worship: Bowie, Roxy Music, T. Rex, Mott the Hoople, Slade, not all of it has held up terribly well, but the point is, they were MY bands, and the fact that a lot of my friends didn't dig that "glam stuff" made it even more cool. <br /><br />However, I did still listen to a bit of AM radio, (FM stations were where 'real' rock was to be found) and "Midnight At the Oasis" was one of those songs that I particularly liked, as it had that sly humor, and hipster-dope-smoking 30's,/40's, nostalgia thing similar to Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks. Maria remains a favorite to this day, but as for Gordon Lightfoot, at the time, "Sundown" sounded pretty corny to me, but hearing it again after (how many?) years, it's got a relaxed, easy charm that's rather infectious. I think I'll give him a second chance. Thanks for the time trip!Slidewellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08576816966071417298noreply@blogger.com
