Okay, here's a little piece of Americana...

There's a black man with a black cat livin' in a black neighborhood.

[Human without the bean]

WOW. It's not Black Bettie bamba lam.

He's got an interstate

Runnin' through his front yard...

Think "Farm Aid"

[AHAT4JC]

Don't stop thinkin' about tomorrow....

Now it's stuck in my head...

And now back to the 60's in the wayback machine...

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air,

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air,

So that was Fleetwood Mac. Good one. Is this an expression of what you feeling Freelancer or is it another clue?

[Freelancer]

oops, forgot to name the group, but you know I knew it.

Trying to multitask, feeding dogs, feeding me, etc.

Yes, that's a clue, let me check, kinda feelin' it too.

[Human without the bean]

Just so you know Freelance you don't need to name the group for this thread. The figuring is I guess, that the song is so familiar that you already know who the group is! Groups names belong in the Name that Tune thread.

[Freelancer]

Okay y'all'

Slight modification and additional info, I looked at cd today and instead of 60's

And now back to the early 70's in the wayback machine.

Silence, then a high ping...ping ...ping...( a high B note)

Long, building notes of instrumental genius.

And then...

Overhead the albatross hangs motionless upon the air,

[Human without the bean]

Was thinking "albatross, who sings that?), was it Ride Like The Wind? That was late 70"s I think.

[Freelancer]

Obviously I'm toooo far out there again, but fear not. That which seemed to be meant for harm...I meant for good. A nice tune for a Sunday.Lyric starts at 3 min. in.

I'll go again later, not inspired right at the moment.

Okey dokey, here's a favorite...

Heard it from a friend who heard it from a friend

Okay, here's a little more...

who heard it from another you been messin' around.

[Human without the bean]

I'm befuddled with this one. I can remember several lyrics but not the name.

Got me on the run?

[Freelancer]

Pretty darn close! It's Take It On The Run...REO Speedwagon.

May I hand my turn to you, even if your title wasn't exact?

I am at a loss, I seem to not be on a "popular" wavelength".

Not mainstream enough. I would like to forfeit my turn, and sit down for a while.

Anyway, give a listen, great song.

[Human without the bean]

Thanks Freelancer.

Let me get to the point, let's roll another joint, and turn the radio loud

[Human without the bean]

Thanks Freelancer.

I think there's a well in the line too.

Well, let me get to the point, let's roll another joint, and turn the radio loud

[Human without the bean]

That's not that memorable I think. So it's ~Tom Petty~ You don't know how it feels.

This one is very memorable.

When I get older losing my hair many years from now

[GeorgeStGeorge]

"When I'm 64"?

George

[Human without the bean]

Yeah that's it. It's been used before, I know.
