Thanks for bringing Roger McGuinn back to mind. I used to listen to his Roger McGuinn’s Folk Den podcast before I got a new phone and he fell off my list. He’s back on again! An unmistakable voice and guitar, to be sure-like Willie Nelson; one note of a song and you know immediately who it is. Any time you want to fire up the wayback machine, I’m game! That was such a fun time back then. Stay safe and stay well!

Great pick today. When that album came out I was working at a radio station in Cambridge, Massachusetts and loved playing "Gate of Horn" from that album. He reflects on a legendary Chicago folk club from his youth. Got to see him solo in I'd guess the 80's. He did a killer set, and when he got out his 12 string with some effects pedals he sounded like the Byrds all by his lonesome. Thanks for some more great memories.

Just so great to listen to these great stories and hear the sounds of many musical eras that you have contributed to. Truly wonderful. Sitting here in the west of Scotland, hail snow, wind and rain, seems a million miles away from sunny So Cal. But the music bridges that gap. Loved your neighbourhood walk a time ago. I spent time in Pasadena at Cal Tech and the Huntington some years ago ( Lived in Kearns Dr, San Marino) and these views took me right back. Thank you so much for all of that great music with so many of my favourites, Nils Loftgren, Toto, that whole West Coast, laid back - but deadly serious- professional musical commitment. Many, many thanks.

Back then it was all about the music, as opposed to "what's in it for me?". People seemed more willing to put their egos aside and do what the song required. Today people seem to collaborate with others only if monetarily advantageous for them. Whether it be in instant payments or to push their band further down the line. It's sad really, because the music that comes out of these modern collaborations seldom result in something truly memorable. These songs you've shared today are a result of pure spontaneity and love of creating something regardless if it will sell or not. I hope we can get back to that sort of organic, in the moment, sort of vibe again.

Hi Lee. Your view sounds lovely. I'm a great fan of Roger's music.

I am just finishing reading "Desperadoes", John Einarson's great book about the beginning of the whole country rock movement there in LA.

And Dan Fogelberg! His name doesnt pop up very often anymore. Nederland isnt too far from here. Some great stuff recorded there at Caribou Ranch. Yes? Your stories take me back to good times, sitting around someone's living room, passing a pipe around (which I dont do anymore), playing and singing, making time with the girls. Was it age, or was life just simpler then? Who knows? In any case, thanks again. Enjoy life!

I was lucky enough to see Roger and Chris play the whole Sweetheart album for the 50th anniversary. One of the best shows I've ever seen in my life. They went on tour with Marty Stuart and the Superlative as their band. Marty really got his start with Lester Flatt from Roland White, Clarence's brother. Marty later bought Clarence's B-Bender Prototype that was built by Gene Parsons and he plays it at every concert. He named it Clarence and a few years back he wrote an instrumental song called "Hummingbyrd" which was a tribute to Clarence. I think Marty won a Grammy for that one. Nest time you listen to Tom Petty think about how much of his vocal style comes from Roger. On certain songs they could easily sit in for each other. In 1991 they actually did an album together called "Back from Rio" which I think is some of Roger's better later work.

You're sending us an iconic view of California, now with rabbits in the gardens while some fools are destroying cars GTA like, and then with Roger McGuinn and all these famous musicians together naturally sharing great music moments in long gone studios. These reunions are something you could hardly imagine nowadays, the same could be said about 1980's enormous charity gigs... And now that we have to live with COVID for a certain time, I doubt the remaining music festivals and big size concerts could exist as they were before. Virtual concerts, virtual reunions over the web, holographic projections and new techniques are no more concepts, but things we should master in our everyday life, even if it's not our generation stuff (and most kids perform way finer on these subjects than we do...).

Does anyone remember the great cover art of "Peace on You" (painted by RM btw)? The soaring eagle with a Rickenbacker 12-string in its claws? As soon as i saw that RM was going to be the featured artist, I said to myself how I hoped Lee would cover "The Lady" and that album. What a gem of a song and totally McGuinn. Lee, to the millisecond, we both said aloud "I haven't heard this in decades!" at the exact same time! I purchased and listened to this album at the time of issue, so I did my part. Lee, thanks for doing yours. And for this channel. One of just a handful of things I find pleasure in these days. Better days ahead...

Saw them twice with Clarence White, who was killed not long after when a drunk driver drove into him while he was loading some stuff into a vehicle. Terrible thing. I still clearly remember reading about it in Rolling Stone back in the days when I subscribed. And it wasn’t even that big of a story. I was shocked as hell.

Roger came to do a lecture on our ship a couple of years back. Although we’re a theatre band, we do a 50’s 60’s rock n roll night in the pub, if we’re not needed in the theatre. They’re usually pretty popular. I foolishly set up my other guitar, thinking that he may want to sit in with the band. We were in the middle of our first set, everybody was up dancing, having a good time, including Roger and his wife. I then foolishly mentioned I had an extra guitar set up in case our special guest wanted to sit in. His wife immediately grabbed him and took him out of the room. I felt bad, because I ruined there good time they were having. I should’ve known better and spoke with him before hand. Sometimes musicians just want to enjoy a band. I really should have realized this.

@@hans-christiantraute1914 I could understand why you would say that, but it’s not really. They just wanted to enjoy there selves together, without any responsibility. If he would have sat in with the band, she would have been left alone. Sometimes I wonder how musicians better half’s deal with what’s thrown at them. I blame myself, they could have had a great night dancing and enjoying each other company. If he they would have stayed, they would have been bothered by the rest of the audience to go play. I really shouldn’t have said anything at all.

@Kristopher Craig; think we all have these moments we later regret. Once meat a former teacher of mine. Actually my favorite teacher. I wanted to say something nice but he misunderstood me, thought I said something offensive, jumped onto his bike and drove away. Even today I feel so bad about this situation ...

Ooh yeah, those wailin' '70s guitars. I was a massive Byrds fan, almost (almost) to the point of obsession. In retrospect, I was somewhat dismayed that a decision was made that Roger in those early days was essentially assigned as lead vocalist, when Gene Clark had such a great voice and was such an astonishingly good songwriter. When they appeared on TV, Gene seemed to be relegated to playing tambourine and singing backup. I often wondered if this was just another of those things (among others) that nudged him out. But ... nuthin' can be done about it now. Roger had a voice that was suitable to some songs, it's true, but I think Gene never really got his due. Yes definitely very '70s.
