A Significant Michael Acoustic "Links" Post!
The links were piled to a respectable height this week - but I'm catching up today!
Mea Culpa… Yesterday I was attempting to edit the Regular Friday Post on both my phone and computer. Sometimes that doesn’t work out the way I intend and I later learned I had pasted in, then inadvertently deleted without noticing, the YouTube video that went with The Song To Play, Townes Van Zandt’s “Big Country Blues”.
Sorry.
Here it is…
Ed. Since the song was from a collection of several studio demos from 1966, there isn’t a contemporary film/video that I’m aware of…
Today, some links to articles and posts that I’ve received from various folks and publications I follow that may be valuable to my readers. Also, some of these links may be repeats…..sorry, but not really that sorry….
