60's / 70's Favorites

Derek and the Dominos - Little Wing

Originally written by Jimi Hendrix and recorded by the Jimi Hendrix Experience in 1967, "Little Wing"
is one of Hendrix's most popular songs and has become a standard, with interpretations recorded by
musicians in a variety of styles. It is ranked number 188 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the
"500 Greatest Songs of All Time". I often prefer originals to covers, but not in this case .. wiki

Released in November 1970, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is the only studio album by the
English–American rock band Derek and the Dominos, fronted by Eric Clpaton. .. Still a fave...

Maybe a couple of traveling tunes:

Arlo's City of New Orleans: City of New Orleans, Arlo Guthrie - Bing video

A song from Dave Dudley, when truck driving songs were in vogue: Six Days on the Road Dave Dudley - YouTube Music

Gypsy - Around You; from the LP In The Garden, released July 1971

Don't hear much about this band any more... it seems that two of the founders both passed relatively
recently: Jim Johnson died of esophageal cancer in hospice care on Sept. 26, 2019, at age 76, and James
'"Owl" Walsh died of congestive heart failure at hospital in Minneapolis, Minn., on Mar. 4, 2023, at age 74.

I've been wrong so many times now
That I already know
Which today almost certainly
I'm wrong about you
But once more
What can change in my life
Accepting this strange appointment
It was crazy
Love do it soon
I can't resist
If you don't arrive
I don't exist
I don't exist, I don't exist
I'm sad among the people
That is passing by me
But the nostalgia of seeing you again
is stronger than crying
This sun shines on my face
A sign of hope
I'm waiting when suddenly
I'll see you popping up in the distance
Love do it soon
I can't resist
If you don't arrive
I don't exist
I don't exist, I don't exist
Lights, cars, shop windows, streets
Everything gets confused in the mind
My shadow is tired of following me
The day dies slowly
I just have to go back to my home
To my sad life
This life I wanted to give to you
You crumbled it between your fingers
Love I forgive but I can't resist
Now forever I don't exist
I don't exist, I don't exist
