Theres not too many songs as pretty as or as sad as Casimir Polaski Day by Sufjan Stevens

 

[heelinhell]

I'm a sucker for poignant songs...thanks for this one

Here's one of mine from back in the day

Don't know how you will feel about this but that song came out 20 years ago

C'mon man, I said "back in the day". I trace my back in the day music to my first concert circa 1964... Sonny and Cher with the Sir Douglass Quintet as the opening act

I would have liked to have seen Sir Douglas Quintet

With a later band.

I had the privilege to see Jackie Wilson at the Cat's Eye club way back in the day. It was an amazing performance !

The GOAT rock n roll band

please indulge an anecdote...

In high school we had a talent show, and a band sang this song. The lead singer went on to play in Don Williams' band and wrote a hit song " Tulsa Time " which was an ACM Award winner later covered by Eric Clapton. Here is a good version

nice guitar work for those three guys

Cool story! Danny wrote quite a few good tunes for Don Williams and others.

ok I was talking jazz with some folks today and I posed my ideal North Carolina jazz band:

John Coltrane (sax) born in hamlet NC grew up in High Point, NC
Thelonious Monk (piano) Rocky Mount NC
Woody Shaw (trumpet ) Laurinburg NC
Percy Heath ( bass ) Wilmington NC
Max Roach ( drums ) Newland NC
Nina Simone ( singer ) Tryon NC

Can another state match that group ?

some Nina...

Frances Ethel Gumm (no wonder she changed her name) was born June 10, 1922.

Every time I see the Gavin Newsom addresses the nation thread, I think of this song. Yes, that is Ornette Coleman making a very rare appearance on someone else's album.
