That’s about it. Browsing online for a high desert retreat for a few nights this summer, I ran across this spot out in the middle of nowhere. Looks perfect. Just looking for info from people who’ve been there before about the facilities, vibe, etc.
Like so many of the best of the best, it didn’t make it to #1 so can’t go up against the watered down disco hits in contention for The Last Song Standing. Gotta love that mirror ball, man. I think I still have one on the back of a shelf in the garage.
I was looking up old newspaper reviews for the 1975 movie Tommy and this ad was on the same page as one of them. Check out those ticket prices!
Covered by many, what’s your favorite?
I hear so much Prince in this song … I think he must have been an OP fan.
Different kind of TGIF vibe.
TIL that he was already a successful songwriter, producer, backup singer before attempting a solo career. And that he wrote My Eyes Adored You (but it was written as “Blue Eyes in Georgia”) — there’s a little snippet of an interview with him after he finishes singing in this American Bandstand clip.
Critics loved it, always a hit at live performances, it’s one of my faves of theirs, but it didn’t make it to the Billboard Top 30 much less to #1. To each their own, I guess!
This one won a Grammy 🌟
Time to get up and boogie, y’all 🎵🕺🏻🥳💃🏻🎵
Late night vibes, from Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young album “Deja Vu"
Steve Goodman wrote it, many have sung it, but this is the version I hear in my head when I think of the song. It’s simply perfect and was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame in 2017.
From Wikipedia: "While at the bar of the Quiet Knight in Chicago, Goodman saw Arlo Guthrie, and asked to be allowed to play a song for him. Guthrie grudgingly agreed, on the condition that if Goodman bought him a beer, Guthrie would listen to him play for as long as it took to drink the beer.^([3]) Goodman played "City of New Orleans", which Guthrie liked enough that he asked to record it."
