Stuck In A Moment You Can't Get Out Of


Desire


Van Diemen's Land






Hank and Townes both died on New Years Day. Hank's last No 1, released after he passed.



Townes never had a song on the charts but he did write a No 1



Jim sounds more ragged than I remember.

I thought that didn't set in until "LA Woman."

In the event,



Paid my respects in '99.

I have a picture, as I do with favorites Chopin, Proust, Wilde, and Baudelaire.

This one is from the web (I think they stopped calling it "the web" 20 years ago. Dark web, too),

The Allman Brothers Band and President Jimmy Carter had a friendship that lasted for five decades, and it extended well beyond politics. The members of the band first met then Governor Carter in 1974, and quickly recognized that he was a good and decent man, as well as a true music lover. The group was so struck by his genuineness and appreciation for their musical style that the ABB did a series of benefit concerts that kept candidate Carter financially viable during his 1976 presidential bid. The band backed him, and he stood by them, in good times and bad, showing a loyalty that is rarely found in a politician. Often seen wearing an ABB T-shirt on the campaign trail, Carter once stated, “I’m proud of my relationship with the Allman Brothers Band. They are good people, they are my friends, and anybody who wants a president who doesn’t like music like this should just simply vote for another man.” After his presidency, he stayed close to the guys in the band, and he said many times over the years, “The Allman Brothers helped put me in the White House by raising money when I didn’t have any.” The Allman Brothers Band family was saddened by the loss of their dear friend and a great human being – God rest your soul, President Carter.

I bought "Southern Accents" (1985) upon release. That's the last Heartbreakers album I bought.

Petty's first solo effort, "Full Moon Fever" (1989), produced by fellow Willbury and ELO mastermind Jeff Lynne (who also produced George Harrison's commercially successful return to the charts, 1987's "Cloud 9'), was a monster seller and a great record, spawning several hit singles.

I'll post a few from that one at some point.

Please post your own, Susan,
