Traditional knives and records

If you're interested, here's an interview with the lyricist 50 years after that song hit #1, explaining what he intended the meaning of the song to be. (Of course, not all of our memories of 50 years ago are perfectly accurate.)

You're welcome, Jer and Vince.
If you Google "american woman song meaning" you get several links describing the origin of the song, and the "facts" given are not all consistent with one another. My take is that although the song may have started as an on-stage jam with lyrics about differences between US and Canadian young women, by the time it was recorded, it definitely contained antiwar lyrics.

May be my favourite collection of musical recordings.

German music, German knife. All nine symphonies.

I found it interesting that after a discussion of Bob Dylan here was a small conversation about Charlie Daniels and his passing. Interesting in that Charlie Daniels played on several early Dylan albums.

I didn't know that. I knew Emmylou Harris sang some backgrounds on Desire. And of course, Dylan had The Band with him for awhile.

Vince, I listened to several cuts from Revolver last night ("Taxman", "Eleanor Rigby", "Good Day Sunshine")!
What a coincidence!

And the Case canoe in your next post, atop the Beach Boys album, always makes me smile!

Wow! That didn't take you long, Dave, and I totally agree with your assessment!
(I'm assuming you know the name of the band as well. )
Can you get a record on a turntable while wearing your splint?
Get healed up soon!

Sadly, I have given all my albums to an audiophile friend, and only have this on CD now. But I know every note! I'm a huge Little Feat fan, and one of my biggest regrets in life is not seeing them live before Lowell George died.
