I was really disappointed that I couldn't get a decent note out of davewhite's Red Kite that he sent around a coupke of years back. Can't help thinking I didn't give it enough time - and this only makes me think I should've tried harder or, at least persevered.

My main instrument is: brownish and rather small. Mini-Profile Background: {"image":"","color":"000000"} Mini-Profile Name Color: {"image":"","color":"ffffff"}
Sadly, albums by the Woodstock Mountains Revue, the very fine folk and country supergroup that did the original version of that song, aren't available now. John Prine did a version, though it's a bit too bouncy for me. Time to crank up the record deck and get out the vinyl again.
EDIT: It's on Youtube, though the sound is a bit 'bottled.'
Great lyrics, as it goes:
Leaves were falling just like embers In colors red and gold, they set us on fire Burning just like a moonbeam in our eyes
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
I am guilty of something I hope you never do because there is nothing Sadder than losing yourself in love
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
Somebody said they saw me swinging the world by the tail Bouncing over a white cloud killing the blues
Now you ask me just to leave you To go out on my own and get what I need to You want me to find what I've already had

newdave: I bought a Lyle Lovett album from a charity shop. Just put it on. This guy is great. How have I never heard his music before? Mind. Blown. If I was Julia Roberts I'd have ridden him till his wheels fell off.
