RJ,<br />
Part 3<br />
<br />
For James Taylor, Traffic Jam was rockin' blues, lol!<br />
That's why it gave you a little trouble.<br />
Car Car was by Peter, Paul and Mary, and I mainly played it because it was so different from the way Woody Guthrie did it, and he wrote it.<br />
Woody was Arlo's father by the way.<br />
Oh that Robert Klein bit is brilliant!<br />
Different strokes for different folks, I am crazy about Automobile by John Prine.<br />
He's never rocked harder.<br />
And the lyrics segued so well from Klein, " February morning, my car…

And the lyrics segued so well from Klein, " February morning, my car won't start today. I turned the key at 8:03 and the battery passed away. Inside a' my automobile".<br />
And isn't Silver Thunderbird by Marc Cohn great? His father says God drives one, lol!<br />
<br />
Part 4<br />
<br />
She'll have fun fun fun till her daddy takes her T-Bird away...oh yeah, a kickin' one!<br />
You knew Setzer, you are more and more a Musicologist!<br />
Oh right, the son of Butch Trucks, that was a pretty funny spontaneous line.<br />
The other one that made me laugh was when Ken told me I had to break as I began something, and I said during the break I'd be "idling".<br />
That cracked me up- see years later it's like someone else said it, a quick-witted dude, lol!<br />
Any chance I get, I will slip Dave Edmunds in, a hige fan of his.<br />
How about that, I accidentally played your favorite Johnny Cash song, One Piece At A Time?<br />
I always loved that "negatory" word, and Johnny could always be funny- like when the person asks what model it is...."it's a 49,50,51,52"...<br />
I like Chuck Berry singing "As I was motorvating over the hill" in Maybelline too.<br />
Motorvating...a new word, lol!<br />
Hope you had fun with the Getting Home By series.<br />
Thanks as always for the cool comments,<br />
Mike Okay, I finally got to these…tag:classic-rock-bottom.ning.com,2010-11-26:6060463:Comment:97512010-11-26T16:22:39.000ZRJhog (Admin)http://classic-rock-bottom.ning.com/profile/JeffHogland
Okay, I finally got to these two shows...<br />
<br />
Part 3<br />
<br />
James Taylor's Traffic Jam was pretty good. I recognized his voice, I just couldn't quite figure out it was him until you said so.<br />
<br />
I'm not sure if you said the comedy song was by Peter, Paul and Mary or just Peter. It was okay, but I really liked the comedy bit by Robert Klein, and I actually thought that was who that was. Make sense? Starting The Car In The Winter cracked me up.<br />
<br />
I wasn't crazy about the John Prine song, but the guitar solo…

<br />
And Silver Thunderbird by Mark Cohen was good. It's almost as much about a son reminiscing about his father as it is about a Thunderbird. And songs like that are always good.<br />
<br />
Part 4<br />
<br />
Always liked the Beach Boys Fun Fun Fun. What a killer song.<br />
<br />
You played parts of a bunch of Chevy songs, and I actually recognized Brian Setzer. I loved the Son Of A Butch comment. That was funny.<br />
<br />
As for the Mercury songs, I figured you'd play Alan Jackson's version of Crazy 'Bout A Mercury, but you slipped Dave Edmunds in there. Nice job.<br />
<br />
And you played it. My favorite Johnny Cash song. I love One Piece At A Time. I love his spoken part at the end with the "negatory" comment and when the person asks what model it is...."it's a 49,50,51,52"...and so on. Just a great song by The Man In Black.
