This was often a Sunday morning listen when I was flat-sharing in St.Reatham in the mid 70s before repairing to the boozer for a session of drinking and darts, and occasionally since then in married life. A gentle song which brings back fond memories, and which I solemnly promise to play more often.

Live performance of Down by the River by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. I prefer the longer (9:13) version off Everybody Knows This is Nowhere, but what the hell, this is an early live version, and possibly more, er, approachable.

Sweet Gene Vincent with Up a Lazy River:

Now there's a new angle.

Naaa. Sorry only Simon+Garfunkel can pull this off. I really want to like Elvis but he really did become a parody of himself. I can't watch him without seeing every Elvis impersonator there is.

Whatevs...

Gratuitous nudity, for them as likes it, but strategically pixellated: Deftones - Rivière

Another little forgotten gem from Sandy Denny; The Pond and the Stream

(Every river is a stream before it becomes a river)

Dammit! Since I brought up the memory of Sandy Denny, here's another rich seam: Blackwaterside

rapidly followed by The Banks of the Nile (have we had this already?)

My last contribution for tonight: Kirsty MacColl with Us Amazonians. Plenty to think about there, folks. Will there ever be justice for Kirsty?

The great Johnny Bush - Whiskey River, one of the few songs that Willie Nelson didn't write but recorded and most people think it's his!
