Friday Night is Vernons music night

Vernon introduced me to the music of Judee Sill. Here she is.

I think this was an anthem whilst he was on his last tour.

I know he was praying for some.

I often thought of this song while reading Vernon's blog during his recent trip to America.

Bob Seger- Roll me away....

 

[RoubaixCube]

Born into the wind, It makes its way To the lost and the hollow
Life begins again Sometimes we lead Sometimes we follow
Where we do not know No sky can hold No end, no border
The wind will fill the sails And push you through to peaceful harbor

Love, like heaven's wind No eye can see How it blows in the darkness
Fear may freeze our steps Loss and regret, every scar turning scarlet
Help to set your course Through sightless days and violent waters
Love will fill your sails And bring you through, to peaceful harbor

Chase this rising wind Anchor released No want of landing
All in deep despairCome feel the air In its full finale
And yes, the chase is on I'll look beyond With the bedlam behind me
I embrace the sky My soul will cry
May your wind ever find me

 

[Bazzer]

The Byrds Ballad of Easy Rider


The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever that river goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

All he wanted was to be free
And that's the way it turned out to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

Flow river flow, past the shady trees
Go river go, go to the sea
Flow to the sea

The river flows, it flows to the sea
Wherever it goes that's where I want to be
Flow river flow, let your waters wash down
Take me from this road to some other town

The Beatles got the the title and lyrics wrong, but this is what it should have been:

Vernon and a Pie With Diamonds

It is, I believe, a little known fact that Vern was a Mud fan: scroll down about 2/3s of the way down if you don't believe me!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/3513925.stm where it says -:
Mud were a great band to secretly admire as an avowed heavy metal fan. I didn't dear reveal my enjoyment of the band to my peers. A telling feature of their success is the number of folk who can recall the lyrics of their songs.

Les's death is sad loss to us all. I hope that Saturday's blast from the past will be a fitting tribute to the man.
Vernon levy, Leeds, UK

And this song is most appropriate.

Local Sheffield band, you'd have to be a Sheffielder of a certain age to get some of it, but I suspect Vernon would approve!
