Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for February 06, 2023

Still one of the best from the group. Along with Suite: Judy Blue Eyes.

And yet Keith Richards out lives another one…

When I make a statement like that my wife used to listen. Now she says who cares? No one but people our age even know who they are.

I have been Googled more than a few times but have not been tripped up yet. On one occasion I was saved by a daughter’s roommate who piped up “No, your father is right.” and immediately was shushed by said daughter with a “We never admit that.”

Now she knows he has been lying all of these years just to impress her.

I often take a friend on road trips because he doesn’t have a car. He would often ask me a question about this or that, and I would have to answer, “I don’t know. You’re the one with the phone.”

He could have just said he knew that; Crosby just sang it…Jimmy Buffett also does a version

I read a conversation (online) several years ago about who actually wrote this song. I guess there is a book that David Crosby wrote (or perhaps someone else writing about him) where Crosby told of experiences that parallel the details of the song. He would stare into the sky at the Southern Cross while on a ship. So while he may not be credited with writing the lyrics of the song, there are many people that believe he is the true author.

Almost cut my hair was written by Crosby.

CSN&Y (and all derivatives of the same) had a bunch of great songs, there can be no “favorite.” This includes Buffalo Springfield. My grandmother’s record collection was awesome.

He will be missed, but he will live on in song…

I don’t think Crosby even sings on that one. It’s Stills.

“Fact news! Fact news!” ☺

Arlo was right a lot more often when Janis assumed he was.

My favourite song by David Crosby was Yellow Submarine .

David Crosby didn’t even sing on it, according to Wikipedia.

She learned her lesson many times.

Laughing is my favourite, from his best (IMVHO) album…

But Jimmy Buffett still sings it the best!

Well, Honeymoon over!

And Steve wrote those lyrics after (or maybe during) his time out on Mayan, David’s sailboat.

Southern Cross remains on my favorite list

Oops. The secret is out:

Sometimes we who are certain are certainly wrong.

In fact, Crosby wasn’t even in the group when they recorded Southern Cross. But when he re-joined them later, his harmony was awesome – as usual!

That’s okay Arlo, you still have “Guinnevere”.
