Ah...the Belfast Cowboy.
How about something from Saint Dominic's Preview?
That was a great time period for him.
Veedon Fleece is a fantastic album, but rarely gets played.

To my ears, "She Gives Me Religion" off Beautiful Vision (from 1980?) sounds like a rewrite of this. Love that one too.

She's allright she's allright she's allright she's allright.
Oh, allright. She's an angel.
Damn.. nevermind. What's she like?
Kinda like Tupelo Honey.
Tupelo Honey?? What the heck does that mean?
She's allright, she's allright she's allright...
Yea, but she's an angel, right? She's an angel.
Allright. I'm out. Exactly. |

Yeah. Not overplayed for me, and I've been listening to this tune about that long. Some songs just have legs... |

Also provides the perfect mix of fresh and salt water for wildly productive oyster beds where it meets the Gulf of Mexico. The land of oysters and honey, far off the beaten path and well worth a visit. ... the location for "Ulee's Gold" and his Tupelo Honey. |

I hope you have an equally great song in mind for your son or he's gonna get wicked jealous. |

To all those complaining about this being overplayed: I had never heard this song (anywhere) before today. Maybe I need to get out more, but thanks anyway RP for exposing me to great music!!!

Into The Mystic, yep, that's my absolute favorite. |

This song is over 39 years old. Of course it gets played a lot that a lot of time flying past. This one brings a smile to my face everytime. Van Morrison is in a special space.

You can say this about many musicians and singers... but not about Van "the man"... I can't hear enough of him!  (apparently my wife does, though!  ) |

This is one of my favs but it does get a lot of play. Into the Mystic is one of those songs on another level.

There are smaller halls that can be booked, but of course they pay less, so musicians have to tour more—gee, it's sort of like a regular job! We have lots of incredible artists playing at the Aladdin Theater here in Portland damned near every day of the year, and it's never too pricey to go. I think it's a problem of evolved big stadium / big ego expectations that the public has incrementally bought into. We're going into an era of lower consumption and I think performers should consider recalibrating too. 'course, I could be way wrong. :-) |
