The night they drove ol' Dixie down

That's a long track, @joel !
The lyrics to these Kansas songs bear listening to. Look for the lyrics online if you can't catch what they're saying.

 

[Patchouli]

It is Saturday night, I'm late.
@Bacpacker do you remember this one? Me neither.

 

[Bacpacker]

Nope I don't recall that song. Pretty good though

Tonight I happened to catch the Grand Ole Opry radio show out of Nashville on an AM station. Didn't even know it was still around, so many changes to radio stations. It was a great show... reception was crappy, finally lost the station on the way home.

Now I happen to be watch an episode of "Live at the Ryman" a Ken Burns production. It's about the root of country, which means bluegrass... Tonight I've heard several songs I haven't heard since I was a child playing them. Very fond memories... Wish all you folks could hear this.

My parents always enjoyed this guy.

That wasn't one of their big hits. But it's a great song. I hate I was sick and missed them when they came here in 2020. Never have got to see them.


Here is a song I heard on the radio yesterday I had forgotten about.

 

[Patchouli]

Checkin' out some of their other stuff, @Bacpacker , different, kinda like old 70s/80s country rock, bluegrass blues.

 

[Bacpacker]

Country rock for sure. The wife looked them up when we heard the song. They produced 18 album's.

[Patchouli]

funny the weird songs that'll stop in to say hello

 

[Patchouli]

this one was different, the music and guitar riffs didn't seem to match the softer tone of the lyrics, but it's Kansas from a 2016 album, "Prelude Implicit."

Oh, my bad. thinking why does the lead singer of Free sound like Paul Rodgers?

 

[Bacpacker]

Cause thats exactly who he is.

 

[Patchouli]

Cause thats exactly who he is.

YeH, and all these years I didn't know that until I looked it up last night. I also found out that I used to like the way Steve Walsh sounded as the singer of Kansas. He couldn't help it he lost his voice.

 

[Bacpacker]

When Free was starting out, all the guys were teens. Rogers was the oldest at 18. The drummer is also in Bad Company for all these years. It's amazing Rogers voice still sounds like it did that long ago. Not many can do that.
Walsh was very good when Kansas first came out. I thought the entire band was awesome back then

 

[Patchouli]

Enjoying some more Bad Company, @Bacpacker
