Many bands have at least one song about how they were road warriers long before they became famous.  AC/DC's song is well known.  So is this group's

This is a really old song...from the early sixties.  The Beatles covered it when they first started out.

I wonder if he would still be singing R&R like Mick Jagger if he had survived....

I always thought this song was written about Sonny Bono.  I was wrong.  It was written by Robert Hebb to commemorate his brother who was stabbed to death.  This cover is by one of the sweetest sounding voices ever.

This song appeared on Sgt Peppers.  It's a combination of lyrics by John wedded to lyrics by Paul.

   June 7, 1976, Billboard #1 top 100, unlikely, but dominant on Billboard.

Mining towns are heavily into country music.  In 1974 I started a job in the town of Manitouwadge, in NW Ontario.  This song was on the radio every morning for months as we went to work.

The local watering hole in Manitouwadge was the hotel.  In 1971 the bar was divided into two parts.  One part was for single men and the other was for couples.  The rules said bars had to close over supper hour, but that just meant you wouldn't be served.  You could however stay and finish your beer....all six of them ordered about 5 minutes before supper hour.  There was a juke box with most of the popular tunes of the day, again, mostly country singers.  This was one of the more popular ones.

Another country singer that occupied the background noise on a typical Saturday night was this guy.  He was an old time country singer who married another old time country singer.  This is one of their most popular duets.

Fast forward to the 90's.  This song intrigued me at the time.

This is the only guy I can think of that could cover this Gordon Lightfoot song and do it justice.
