I loved Sweetheart Of The Rodeo ...
"my buddies shun me, since ah turned to jesus", ... "Calling me home, Hickory Wind", ... haven't heard it in decades though.
When you're sick of it, play The Amazing Burrito Brothers: ... "on the 31st floor, a gold-plated door, won't keep out The Lord's burning flame" .... oh yeah.
Our dear blog pal

is keeping time for Tess n The Shaps at The Brunswick Green next Saturday night - rock on down there an tell her you read about it at my place.
enjoy your break.
I've got the re-release of Sweetheart which has the Parsons lead vocals restored as additional tracks. And thanks for the album tip, BWCA. I've been meaning to check out the Burritos for ages. Also Gram Parsons solo albums. I'd love to be at the Brunswick Green but will unfortunately be snowed in with work all weekend.
Well hurry back. I have three blogs you know. No life, but three blogs!!!!
Steph: I'll be back as soon as the shitstorm that is my working life at the moment subsides. Probably next week. I won't take your new avatar personally, either!
I didn't know you were a cricketer.
Did you know little johnie loves cricket?
Correct, BLL but I believe Howard affected a liking for cricket to appear Menzies-like. Keating addressed his first PM's XI thus: "Never played cricket. Don't know much about it. Don't think I would have been much of a batsman, bowler or fielder. But there's this thing I've heard about called sledging. I reckon I might have been alright at that."
