Here's the last of the Stackpole-Keating summer '11 sessions for you. Just how in the hell has it taken so long for me/ us to get some more Neil up on the site, since "Mr. Soul" last year? Absolutely unbelievable, I tell ya, for that man is IT! Always, always, always on our list, that ornery Neil!
Going way back, "Down by the River" and "Cowgirl in the Sand" were two of the first songs we used to jam out on back in '85 or so, Stack and Dillo and me down in the basement, while my parents presumably closed the door and turned up the volume on the TV, slipped on some ear protectors (as my dad was known to do) or maybe found something to do outside or in town. Anyway, by the time we had Maff and Andy O on board, Neil comprised basically half of our repertoire (and CCR the other): "Cortez...", "Powderfinger", "Hey Hey My My", "Ohio", "Comes a Time", "Like a Hurricane", "Burned", "Everybody Knows This is Nowhere", "Helpless", "Cinnamon Girl", "Southern Man", "The Needle and the Damage Done", "Sugar Mountain", and who knows what else. Jeans? Check. Boots? Check. Flannel? Checked. Ladies sure loved suburban NY classic rock high school cover bands!
Robbie Maff, I hope you're listening!
