In a Gadda Da Vida   

"In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida" (derived from "In the Garden of Eden") is a song recorded by Iron Butterfly, written by band member Doug Ingle and released on their 1968 album of the same name.

At slightly over 17 minutes, it occupies the entire second side of the album. The lyrics, a love song from the biblical Adam to his mate Eve, are simple and are heard only at the beginning and the end. The middle of the song features a two-and-a-half-minute Ron Bushy drum solo.

It was a classic - pretty much the beginning of heavy metal genre.

Ron Bushy's drum solo was the inspiration for Ringo Starr's drum solo on "The End" from the Beatles 1969 album, Abbey Road. It was the last song recorded collectively by all four Beatles.

and of course.....

The Who  - won't get fooled again     https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDfAdHBtK_Q&t=382s

I agree with Wipeout by Safaris, Zeppelin's Whole Lotta Love

my 5th song /drum solo would be Santana at Woodstock in 1969.
Michael Shrieve was the drummer - really just a kid at age 20 - stepping out on that stage, in those circumstances.   A classic drum solo !
The song was   " Soul Sacrafice"       https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_pDjX65vHo

At age 20, Shrieve was the youngest musician to perform at Woodstock

although not a classic " Drum Solo" - Levon helm of the band was awesome on this song.
Ringo did a fabulous job on this version.....   Peatle I think posted earlier this past week.

by far my favorite version ever of "The Weight"

Fantastic song Peatle

Very emotional - could be interpreted so many ways.

So cool that Coldplay wrote it !

Those boys with JoAnne were incredible in more ways than their voices.

Thanks for sharing

Phill

nope - it was
"stank like hell"
"nut" brown

this part probably not for little kids...

"Dreaming of death yet longing for youth
Never accepting that "NO" was an answer
Belligerence grew like a terminal cancer."

but other than that (in my no account opinion ) it is classic and a poem that would spark imagery and wonder and fantastic fantasy -
I would love to have 3rd graders have this read to them and then have them draw what they thought it looked like.  There wouldn't be one picture the same !

I love it !!

Jim

This is one of Dan Fogelberg's most personal songs. It's a tribute to his father, Lawrence Fogelberg, who was a band director. One of my favorite songs.

Peatle, et al

For those who may not know, Kippers are split, smoked, salted herring. Herring are high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. You may want to limit the amount of Kippers if from larger Herring, as they may contribute a greater amount of mercury or PCB's (an environmental contaminant). Sardines are also high in omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin D. Since they are much smaller fish, they contribute much less mercury to the diet. So then, which is better? I would say go with the canned sardines. You have a lower exposure to mercury and less salt as well. Throwing in some Kippers once in a while won't be the end of the world though.

as for me - when I was in college I used to eat sardines on crackers but now I I won't either - nor would I eat anchovies they remind me of eyebrows)

Now I do like to eat salmon, cod, halibut, catfish, perch, sea bass, clams, shrimp and scallops  .  but that's about it. 
So many rivers are contaminated -

AS for Texas - I only been there about 8 times - loved it. It is huge - Me and a friend  hitch-hiked through it once right after I graduated college. A semi truck picked us up one evening and told us we we were crazy for hitch hiking - we told him we weren't too scared - (we were thinking he was talking about getting robbed since we didn't have more that $45 between the two of us).  Then he told us no, not that  ,,,,,,  then he said " the sun gets the pavement real hot during the day - and when it gets cold at night - all the rattlesnakes come out and travel on it -   and because so many rodents and other small game so the same - it was prime hunting area.   as we traveled farther up the road - sure as anything - we saw probably over a hundred huge rattlesnakes as we rode through the night.

Also, Buddy Holly was from Lubbock, (West) Texas and used to drive to a recording studio in Clovis, New Mexico.  He and his mates used to drive about 105 miles an hour to get there - trying to get there before they left !!   That was because the time zone change ran through west Texas - so they would leave at 9am  and get there at 8am

As for Breakfast In America - 
1) great group Supertramp - listened to them a lot in college  my favorite song was Bloody Well Right
2) My breakfast is a cup of coffee -and sometimes a blueberry muffin or a yogourt with cheerios and fruit.   
3) Too many Americans pile on pancakes, pastries, tons of bacon and sausage, french toast eggs  etc.... all good stuff once in a while - but I also think its why so many people are overweight. and I get it, if you work at a very strenuous job - that is ok because you burn it off, but so many eat that much and then just sit at a computer all day - not good!

Thank you Brian for the really cool Blizzard - felt good for two weeks in the heat of our summer. Hope it continues.
I was trying end it with another song I wrote - but just haven't had the time.  Soon I hope.
Jim
