So we continue sorting through mom’s 45s. I apologize if this seems tedious to you. I realize that there are a lot of them and these are only the ones that I can remember. Granted I probably remember most of them but I’m sure that when all is said and done and we move into The KISS Age, there will be several that will have slipped through the cracks. I am only trying to be thorough and present the musical explosion that I experienced at that time. Here is the next stack of 7.
The Kingston Trio – Where Have all The Flowers Gone I have always had an inexplicable emotional attachment to this song.
Hmmm, did you catch Andy William’s in that clip? I find it fascinating that he keeps popping up.
Three Dog Night – Joy To The World
I don’t think I’d be too keen on accepting wine from a bullfrog even if he was a good friend of mine.
Carly Simon – You’re So Vain
For the longest time, I thought that song was about me. Carly Simon was one of the artists that mom liked enough to make it to album status. In the 80’s I actually bet on some horses at Saratoga. I didn’t win big but I did consciously think of this song when I was there. Up to that point, I didn’t make the connection with “Your horse naturally won.”
The Mamas & The Papas – California Dreamin’
Maybe if Mama Cass and Karen Carpenter got together back then they might both be with us today.
The Jackson 5 – Rockin’ Robin
Jim Croce – Bad Bad Leroy Brown
America – Horse With No Name
America was all over the radio back in the day but mom only had this one song as I far as I remember. When I bought their greatest hits on CD in the 80’s I recognized all of those songs but we’ll get to that later.
