Shilo Neil Diamond
Here's Shilo from Neil Diamond.
It's from my big sister's original Bang Records
single.
When I was a little kid, I worshipped Neil Diamond.
My sister bought a ton of albums and singles in the
late late sixties and early seventies,
so this stuff is in my blood.
I also want to mention that I think the totally
undefinable Neil Diamond is still great. Granted,
orchestrated slow ballads make my skin crawl, but he
could/can kick and rock.
************************************************
So, here's my formal invitation to Neil Diamond
to come up here to Minneapolis and do
an unplugged or semi-plugged thing at 1st Ave.
(If you need a second guitarist, send me mail).
