I’ve been singing the same four lines over and over in my head for 3 days. But I like the song and the voice. The Red Clay Strays is the name of the band. I like _I’m still fine_ ---

For no apparent reason, my mental jukebox has been playing “I Am, I Said” by Neil Diamond all morning. Some of the lyrics: _“I am”… I said To no one there And no one heard at all Not even the chair_ Even within the context of the song, that’s pretty banal. ---

I told an Aussie friend about the Warner Brothers sampler albums of the '70s, and how I got to hear music I never would’ve otherwise. I mentioned [“Sweet Dreams”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bjhl__7Y3N4), which at that point wasn’t on any albums. That was enough to get it stuck in my head. But then he recommended the Steven Wilson remixes of classic Jethro Tull albums, including non-album cuts… like “Sweet Dreams”. That got it stuck in _his_ head. We met up at a bar last night, and compared notes: a week later, and it’s been playing non-stop in both of our brains… \* . Oh, and here’s a video the lads made from a live performance, without the acoustic guitar, alas, BUT with a horror-movie look, perfect for the season: [![](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Jp9yu8mTm9w/hqdefault.jpg?sqp=-oaymwEmCOADEOgC8quKqQMa8AEB-AG4BYAC3AOKAgwIABABGDYgYyhyMA8=&rs=AOn4CLAAQv8E95keGFX6t3eQSoWfpy9yKQ "Jethro Tull - Sweet Dream (official music video)") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jp9yu8mTm9w) ---
