Really fun song... great guitar playing.

Calls to mind Thanksgiving road trips when I was a kid. My dad had a cassette radio recording he caught of Alice's Restaurant which helped fill the time. It was not the same as the record version ... it was much better... much funnier. I can't link it because I've never been able to find the same version my dad had on cassette.

But that song is well over 6 minutes... and if Arlo was in the right mood it was very funny.

Hi Rebecca, a good story, well told, thanks. https://youtu.be/pJV2pWFyfn4 ... coming in at 12 minutes, it's an impossible to rush, kind of a 'backdrop to the era'!

ps I was trying to find your email address regarding the PrEp stories you asked for a week or so ago, but couldn't locate?

That's nice.

It's rare that a solo player uses a 12 string guitar. That instrument is considered too loud for playing and singing. He achieves a great sound.

Let me recommend a long song, no lyrics. "Buddha's Smile" by Carlo Domeniconi.

It's a bit too much. It's also quite long: 15+ minutes.
