Mark, I don't know why, but I could just never like the Dead. I think maybe it was because my boss, that I could not stand, was a big dead head. Don't know, but something sure soured me. I'm late doing this today, so maybe something a little mellow (for me) to wind down the evening. I know Mark likes these guys,,,, I do too ..

Co-written with Glenn Frey of the Eagles. Jackson at one point lived in a small duplex underneath Glenn and his then-roomate, J.D. Souther. Glenn heard him composing Take It Easy on the piano as he laid in bed upstairs. Browne was frustrated with the song and was going to give up on it, but Glenn thought it deserved another chance. He filled in Browne's lyrical gap with the line "It's a girl, my Lord, in a flatbed Ford, slowin' down to take a look at me" and recorded it with the Eagles - and the rest is history.

This band starts off a little slow, then it is true rock and roll. Spent a lot of time with 10th, 11th and 12th Marines in the field.

Some bands, Like Foreigner and the Babys, had good tunes. Sometimes when the "star" left the band, their solo stuff was better than when they were with the group.Certainly as good. Here's Lou Gramm after he left Foreigner.. Tomorrow I'll do John Waite from the Baby's.

Jeff, I kinda know where you're coming from.
I knew of the Dead from the Haight Ashbury days.
About 1970, after hearing Workingman's Dead and American Beauty, I found out what an accomplished studio musician Jerry was. A multi-instrumentalist, who played guitar, banjo, and pedal steel, a lot of us heard his work without knowing it..."Teach Your Children" pedal steel opening and backing is one everybody knows.
Once the whole traveling hippie C/F show thing started, I had no interest in seeing them live.
What I did was buy the greatest hits CD and then left in only the acoustic and more mellow stuff, and then burned a CD to listen to in my RV. Try them that way.

This is what I had left, only re-arranged for better flow, IMO
