Lorraine Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Might i say......i enjoy showing my musical know how goes beyond 70's rock, lol this is fun. Mick That's because you grew up in a diversified musical family like I did which exposed you to all types of music instead of just one. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 One old song that isn't that well known but a very pretty old tune is The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Buy For Me The Rain". Yeah, I don't know that one. The "deep tracks" by all of these artists of yesteryear, why, that's a whole different ball o' wax... This thread is liable to get very long indeed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segue Myles Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I love this thread. This sort of music needs more love, and at last it finally is! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mick That's because you grew up in a diversified musical family like I did which exposed you to all types of music instead of just one. My stepfather exposed me to a lot of things I'd never heard, at a pretty early age...but then also, I started working as a disc jockey when I was 16...and I spent the first six years of my twenties working in record shops. I've always just been somewhat of a student of music, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorraine Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 This type of music was quickly relegated to the "bin for squares" with the advent of FM radio. We used to still listen to it secretly though. ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find it on the internet. Years ago when we had access to high speed I downloaded it. I still have it saved in one of my 50 folders (that are a maze once you open one).

Blue J Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Simon and Garfunkel- Hazy Shade of Winter "Look aroundLeaves are brownAnd the sky Is a hazy shade of winter"... My favourite part of that song is when they yell (in harmony), "It's the springtime of my life!" And I remember when that used to be true, for me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
