For you Sirius/XM subscribers I recommend the Gordon Lightfoot Pandora station...his stuff combined with other 70's light rock/folk (John Denver, Loggins & Messina, Simon & Garfunkel, etc).
I would like expensive whiskey.
We only have beer & wine...
What am I, 12?

Listened to The Bridge for 45 minutes in the car this afternoon and didn’t hear him once!

Fantastic.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

That’s a very cool building by the way. Right on the Detroit River in downtown Detroit.

Put me in the camp of folks who know his name and only the one song. I'll do a little Sporclin' though to remedy that. I hope the Neil Diamond comparisons are temporal only.

put me on team shirley, including all of the links shared here. I know TWOTEF and that's it.

But my mother was way more into Motown and some other artist I can't recall right now.

I'm about halfway through this doc and it's absolutely fantastic - A+. Great interviews, amazing old clips, and location shots. I've already recommended to my extended music crew.

Pruitt if you're still in touch please pass along my heartfelt praise and thanks from a random fake internet friend from across-the-lake :)

This one sounded familiar in parts, then not. I definitely know Carefree Highway though!

OK, after listening to a bunch of songs on Spotify, I can say this, the excessive maudlin violin usage is driving me crazy.

I was thinking Neil Patrick Harris and a young Alan Thicke.
