RJ,<br />
Pt.1<br />
I don't know, Strangers In The Night has been played so much I don't need to hear it again.<br />
I remember being a bartender and somebody would play a song by Sinatra I liked a lot, think it was called Cycles.<br />
Shamefully I do like We Can Fly, didn't realize I did until I played it, lol!<br />
You liked the Climax Blues Band one but didn't like the Nick Gilder, fair enough.<br />
The one you liked is clearly the beeter song.<br />
With those last two you did like, technically it's the Flamin' Groovies, no g,…

With those last two you did like, technically it's the Flamin' Groovies, no g, and they do a great version of Warren Zevon's Werewolves Of London I have played.<br />
And Flight 505 by The Rolling Stones is a somewhat deep album cut (not to some of us old grunts, lol) from the Aftermath LP. And incidentally was thenumber of the British Airways plane the Stones took on their first trip to the US in 1964.<br />
Since you never heard it, I really like that I brought it to your attention, damn good song.<br />
<br />
Pt.2<br />
It is CSNY, and you are right, it is too short.<br />
Funny how that happens, sometimes you wish a song would go on longer!<br />
Got the Seinfeld reference to The Rose Garden, and even played Seinfeld.<br />
How's that for mental telepathy, lol?<br />
And it does always work with him.<br />
You are not the first person to be very surprised Leaving On A Jet Plane was written by John Denver.<br />
I love the Donovan song, always takes me way back to some wonderful youthful, impressionable days.<br />
Christine Lavin is always a treat, both solo and with the Four Bitchin Babes- check her out further because she can be just as touching as funny.<br />
Just like the great Tom Paxton, I could listen to just those two for days, lol!<br />
And that Dylan song FLEW by, proper for a show on Planes.<br />
I don't know what the hell it was about either.<br />
Engineer Ken knew we were doing Planes and brough it in with him, so I played it and that was the 2nd time I heard it- the first just before the show.<br />
It was so short it couldn't hurt, lol!<br />
Glad you enjoyed it campanero, and the 2 end parts should be here when you read this.<br />
Thanks for being such a great listener, it's a joy,<br />

Mike, I agree with yo…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2010-11-19:6060463:Comment:93612010-11-19T15:25:19.000ZRJhog (Admin)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JeffHogland
Part 1<br />
<br />
Mike, I agree with you, I'm not that big of a Sinatra fan either, but I do like to hear an occasional song by him. My favorites would be Strangers In The Night and Just The Way You Look Tonight. But Come Fly With Me works well here.<br />
<br />
I wasn't real big on The Cowsills tune, We Can Fly. It sounds to me like it should have been a Partridge Family song.<br />
<br />
I did like Sky High by The Climaxx Blues Band. But I didn't like the Nick Gilder song. No real reason, just didn't like it.<br />
<br />
However, I…

<br />
However, I did like the last two. The First Plane Home by The Flaming Groovies (great name) and Flight 505 by The Rolling Stones. That's yet another deep album cut from The Stones that I've never heard, but I really like that guitar work, you can tell it's The Stones by that even if Mick wasn't singing.<br />
<br />
Part 2<br />
<br />
Absolutely love the CSN song and the story about how quickly it was written. And the song is too short. The guitar work is phenomenal and gives it that atmospheric sound. Beautiful.<br />
<br />
On the song by The Rose Garden, I believe you made mention of the fact that the female singer had a rather low register, and that's the first thing I thought when the song started. I thought it was a man singing. But he was singing about a man (not that there's anything wrong with that - Seinfeld), then I realized the singer was female.<br />
<br />
Leaving On A Jet Plane is a cool song, and believe it or not, I did know that was written by John Denver.<br />
<br />
The Donovan song didn't do much for me, but I thought the Christine Lavin song was funny, and I did love the ending.<br />
<br />
Jerry Seinfeld, whether in his show or his stand up act, always works for me.<br />
<br />
It seems like somebody posted a song on Youtube last year or somewhat recently about the airlines breaking his guitar. So the Paxton song made me think of that.<br />
<br />
Was there a Bob Dylan song? It was so short I must have missed it :-)<br />
<br />
Enjoyed it my friend...
