I'm listening to the new album by House of Lords called Saints and Sinners.
Sometimes you just have to drop it and let that needle ride the groove. Originally called Dynamic Soul, when they pressed this one in ‘75, they changed their name to Brass Construction… and helped create what we know of now as FUNK.
He was standin' by the highway
With a sign that just said "Mother"
When he heard a driver comin'
'Bout a half a mile away
Then he held the sign up higher
Where no decent soul could miss it
It was ten degrees or colder
Down by bolder dam that day
He was raised up in Milwaukee
Though he never was that famous
He was just a road musician
To the taverns he would go
Singin' songs about the ramblin'
The lovin' girls and gamblin'
How the world fell on his shoulders
Back in Boulder I don't know
It was out in Arizona
That he heard the lady listenin'
To each word that he was sayin'
To each line that he would write
So he sat down by her table and
They talked about the weather
Ninety-eight point six and risin'
Down by Boulder dam that day
And she told him she would take him
For a ride in the mornin' sun
Back in Boulder he had told her
"I don't know when I had a better friend"
Now he's traded off his Martin
But his troubles are not over
For his feet are almost frozen
And the sun is sinkin' low
Won't you listen to me brother
If you ever loved your mother
Please pull off on the shoulder
If you're goin' Milwaukee way
It's ten degrees and getting colder
Down by Boulder dam today
Ten Degrees and Getting Colder
Gordon Lightfoot 1971
The moral of the song is don’t trust any lady not to swindle you out of a Martin.
If he’d only had a Gibson, then maybe she’d have passed him by.

R.I.P. Tom Verlaine (1949 – 2023) and thank you for the music...
One of my favorites from George.....................
The vinyl is on the turntable. The pipe is on the turntable cover. Believe me, my vinyl is treated with kid gloves.
And now for something completely different...

Steely Dan - Here At The Western World (1976). Didn't mean to be a stranger on here! Figured I had to get a post in before Feb. starts.
