I usually like to start a new week with high-energy rock and roll but while today’s medley might be (mostly) fast paced, it does not qualify as “wake you up and boot you out the door” with a jolt.
Why is that? Reader Doug K asked for something in the “acoustic genre” and I have long maintained that the reader is always right. 🙂
Doug only included a couple or songs with his request (the second and third) so I have taken the liberty of adding the other three.

Doug K’s Medley
Eagles – Simon & Garfunkel – Bob Dylan
Tim Hardin – Stealers Wheel
Hello Ray! A bit of a change of pace today. Well, another Ray, (Of the Kinks), famously said, “ a change is as good as a rest.”), so OK we can deal with it.
For some reason I never tire oh hearing the Eagles. I can’t say the same about S & G. I just never got into them. I embraced Folk Music, I think for reasons we have previously discussed, the singer songwriter movement and storytelling mainly. I must admit I do enjoy Simon’s solo work. ( by the way, was that the longest version of that song available? Boy that was long!)
As far as Folk goes, Tim Hardin, is he the best or what? Sadly his output was limited by his untimely death. Dig around for some more of his work will ya?Bob Dylan could sing the phone book and I would listen. Never enough Dylan. I’m sorry that I’m not feeling very opinionated today, it’s only Monday. Give me a chance to get warmed up. Thank you Ray for listening o my ranting. Keep up the good work. I hope you’re not snowed in. Keep on Rockin’ cause you only Rock once!
Good Morning Don!
Doug picked the Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan songs. I added the rest, and yes, Mr. Hardin was included because of YOU. 🙂
The S&G song was the original version. You may have forgotten that because I suspect you never played it much. 😉
Man, I could come up with a doozy of a medley if I did nothing but Dylan songs. That medley would last hours because Bob rarely did song shorter than 5 minutes!
ROCK ON, BRO!
p.s. I’ve got plenty of Hardin songs 🙂
