Awww hell I didn't know that. I liked that weirdo! Think I discovered Chuck while researching deep Tom Waits lore (he's mentioned in a few of Waits' songs). So long!

I was watching The Boys and Hughie, the only character I can much relate to, has a thing for Billy Joel songs. I recall being the only one of my friends to buy his albums in high school. I also recall a party where I met a girl and we went to the rear entrance alcove while this was playing and kissed for the first time.

Aw man, the sinners ARE much more fun.

I was watching The Orville because it's light hearted and imaginative and I tire of dark things and the captain turns out to have a thing for Billy as well. Weird the synchronicity of Hollywood or my viewing habits or the universe or whatever. This was the song they focused on and it's always been a favorite.

Also my first album of his.

So Long by Chuck E. Weiss made me laugh. :laff: I played it twice. The tune made me think of a Pet Clark song and the humour reminded me of Spike Milligan.
Although I’ve always known of Sandy Denny, I didn’t know that much nor that she’d been married to Trevor Lucas who I’d seen performing at folk clubs back in the day and liked. She had Scottish ancestry. As often happens with the internet I ended up reading more than fitted the cosy image I had. It seems she had a self destruct/attention-seeking tendency that literally brought her downfall.
Anyway, I remember this song which it’s said she wrote when she was nineteen and typing the title into YouTube produced dozens of recordings by famous people which hopefully would have pleased her. When I was a kid being told I’d have to wait until tomorrow or next week seemed an eternity, whereas now I much identify with this title.
In fact for some years I’ve had a theory the government speeds the clocks up as you get older. From over 50 years ago ...

I had never heard that one. It's reflective and a little sad. Amazing that she wrote it at such a young age as it fits an older sentiment when autumn winds are blowing. Then again, perhaps she felt her time was short.
I have no idea why but it brought to mind an old Kodak camera commercial. Sort of treacly but even as a kid I understood there would be a time I would appreciate looking back. In that it succeeded in selling film. I filled a trunk with pictures and then got a bigger trunk. And I'm glad I did.

Not the actual commercial of course, just the song in it.

very treacly, but I do enjoy Paul Anka songwriting, he has a handle on that bittersweet nostalgia.
My turn, my daughter sings in an acapella choir and they had a concert a few days ago, and sang a brilliant version of this, which I hadnt heard for ages.

I like this chill tune lately.
Somebody commented that it's channeling Modest Mouse and I can hear it.
