    Either Will You l Love Me Tomorrow or Up On the Roof Or Don’t Bring Me Down or Cryin in the Rain.

    Nice. We saw her perform with James Taylor at MSG.

    I’d probably go with “Up On the Roof” as my favorite. Jackie’s is a big fan of “One Fine Day.”

    It’s too hard to pick just one favorite, I could pick 10 easily.

    I wish that Fathom events would have matinees, but since they are more sparsely attended (why I love matinees) I guess it’s not cost effective.

    Enjoy

      We went once to the Regal Union Square to see Jimmy Buffett do a live solo performance from the Saenger Theatre in New Orleans. He talked, snswered some pre-submitted questions, and sang a shortened set.

      It was fairly sparsely attended, as I remember it. We were the first ones there, so I got a free first edition of his book, A SALTY PIECE OF LAND, which I never did read.

    I had the album, bought soon after it was released, and played it a lot, especially on weekend mornings, because it always seemed like “morning music” to me, a nice way to start the day. I like “So Far Away” and about all of the others on Tapestry. I prefer studio albums to live.

      Rick, I agree with you on studio albums. But there are some live albums that are first-rate: Sarah Maclahan’s MIRRORBALL and Jackson Brown’s RUNNING ON EMPTY come to mind.

    Wow, I would have liked to be there at this concert!

    Carol has always been one of my favourite singers – You’ve Got a Friend I’d call my favourite among many others. And when I realised that she had been composing hit songs for other people for years in the Brill Building in NYC I was really amazed.

    PS:

    Wasn’t too active here the last days – had to go to Germany, do some things – and then we had visitors from the USA!

    My wife’s sister’s grandson from Nashville was so happy that he found someone to talk to – most people in Eastern Hungary have problems with English …

    So I showed him around and we went to many stores to look for souvenirs from WW1 and 2 – he’s a real history buff!
