bfh Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 You would be shocked and amazed by the long and winding road by which I came to identify this song: It has something to do with VH1's, The Drug Years, and "Season of the Witch"... Anyway, I think it's "Catch the Wind" by Donovan. It sounds a little Dylan-e, did Dylan do it also, or does Donovan just sound like him on the early recording? Waysider, do you know?

Yes WordWolf, One of my very favorite songs. Hopes the memories are good ones. Your answer, of course, is spot on. Your go!

I agree with you about "Who's Nect" and äqualung". I'm more familiar with The Doors by their catalog than which song is on what album, but I know enough to know you just mentioned "L.A. WOMA

Finally thought of the name of that song -
Knew the artist - The Eagles
Knew the album - On The Border
Knew the melody....
And finally the circuits made a connection -
Ol' 55 by the Eagles
Now I need to come up with another song,
Be back in a few.....
