More songs about songs
I'm going off-piste again today...I couldn't think of anything had got me through a difficult time.
This is another one I discovered in Dave Marsh's 1001 songs book. It's Ricky Nelson singing about an oldies show that he did in Madison Square Garden.
It's full of oblique references to other people who played that night, or who were in the audience - Wikipedia has a list.
The song finishes with the line "if memories were all I sang, I'd rather drive a truck"....which chimes slightly with what I wrote about yesterday's entry.
