As a kid growing up in the late 70s, I always loved this groove. We had a musical household. One minute we got R&B playing. We had some Jazz playing. Gospel. You name it.

This got me meanering... Maria Muldaur was a favorite; saw her in Newport at the Black Dog in about '73.

 

[Centerstream]

Arlo singing (with lots of help) is father's greatest song

I have many "favorite" folk songs but this is number 1. Guitar work, story, and Tom's voice all come together in this one.
