From starting out listening to my parents records to staying up late at night listening to the radio to being introduced to album collecting as a teenager to making mix-tapes and into the present, it seems that I've always been searching for and listening to music of widely varied genres. Here's an idea of what I've been hearing along the way ....

Flashing Back Playlist
Going back to the 70's. This might have been a typical playlist back then.
The Ozark Mountain Daredevils - You Know Like I Know
Rick Roberts - Jenny's Blues
Bad Company - Seagull ….. As I recall, the album this song was on was a Christmas present from my parents. I think I gave them a shopping list of four or five albums and they found each record. That said, I've discovered a time or two that my 40-50 year old record acquisition memories are not always accurate.
Steely Dan - Rikki Don't Lose That Number ….. Always causes me to think of Junior and Senior years in high school even though it was released just a few weeks before I graduated.
Splinter - Which Way Will I Get Home
John Stewart - Oldest Living Son ….. Maybe because I am a oldest son?
Gordon Lightfoot - Circle of Steel / The Watchman's Gone
Shawn Phillips - Steel Eyes ….. What has always come to mind and I don't know why is "cold." Something about this song just feels cold for me.
Bonnie Raitt - Your Sweet and Shiny Eyes
Steve Goodman - The Dutchman
John Prine - Come Back to Us Barbara Lewis Hare Krishna Beauregard …. I bought his "Common Sense" album because I read that Jackson Browne did background vocals on a song or two. Found out that I loved John Prine's music.
Country Joe McDonald - Tear Down the Walls ….. The guy that I identify as my album listening mentor used to play Country Joe's, "Fish Cheer" from the Woodstock album. Though the four letter word spelled out that day and beginning with F wasn't fish. A few years later, this was my Country Joe follow-up.
Kinky Friedman - When The Lord Closes the Door (He Opens a Little Window)
Gregg Allman - Multi Colored Lady ….. Takes me right back to my Freshman year in college, The OSU campus (Oregon not Ohio State) and everything around me back then.
