_Joe Hill_. Version by Joan Baez is the best known(and great) but Pete Seegar’s is what I heard first and remember. Claw hammer banjo, don’t you know. 🙂 _Da Doo Ron Ron_ Crystals. 1963. It’s all about when you grew up. I was 19 at the time. Songs are a big part of your life at that point. _Lovesick Blues_–Hank Williams. Ask me to sing this one at a party. Anything he did is pretty swell. I have about everything he did on vinyl. ---

At the moment, my favorite four songs would have to be _Symphonies_– Dan Black _You Make My Dreams_– Hall and Oates _Brighter Than Sunshine_– Aqualung _Sweet Disposition_– The Temper Trap I am kind of in an upbeat, uplifting, happy song phase. Not a bad place to be, right? ---

If it ever happens that I know exactly when I’ll die, the last piece of music I’d like to hear is the original quartet version of Dave Brubeck’s “Forty Days.” Let me pass on the last dying notes from the piano, and my heart stop beating with the last thrums of Gene’s bass. ---
