I remember me brudda 25+ years ago...we're all drunk as all get-up and he stands up without any music playing and sings (wayyy off key of course) "and shes buying a bla Bla Bla Bla"..... he looked like George Washington making a declration with hand raised and finger pointing to the sky....the whole bar just looked at him thinkin WTF was that...but I knew looking in his eyes it was a sound decision...lol....

every once in awhile I'll ask him....hey mike you gonna sing for us tonight?

ahhh flamin' youth

Yea I might call it country rock, it's hard to distinquish anymore. Sounds a lot like the Byrds, which makes it AOK in my book.

OK Daryl! I'll take any comparison to the Byrds as a great compliment. One of my favorite bands of that era. I remember playing Mr Tambourine Man (45 RPM single) until I'd worn out the grooves, then went out and bought a replacement copy.

I played a blonde Rickenbacker 12-string for many, many years, inspired in part by McGuinn. (I wish I hadn't let that guitar go. I sold it to a friend for $400. He immediately turned around a re-sold it for $1,200.)

As to what qualifies as country rock, I haven't a clue. Maybe someone can provide a definitive answer. Eagles? Keith Urban? ZZ Top?

Or is it any rock song with a melody and intelligible lyrics? Are cowboy hats, pickup trucks and right-wing politics optional or an intrinsic part of the package?

see Dave, you can even now open your shirt like he did, Mr. Plant that is

have you heard about this amazing reunion benefit show they are doing at the O2 venue in London in December
with Bohnam's son drumming
some have said the rehearsals have been epic

This morning the song's at #3 on the Soundclick country-rock chart, thanks mostly to you guys bumping up its hit count. That's kind of cool, I think. Many thanks to all who listened and offered suggestions.
