Marie…..for someone that could play such funny songs, my god did this man know how to write some of the saddest love songs ever. Amazing.

[@asteverino8569]

Sweet stuff. 😘 Reminds me of some past loves that I may not have appreciated enough. Yes?

[@ALovelyLad]

Short people is the greatest diss song ever

[@lreadlResurrected]

In about 1974 or 75 Randy did a one-hour live PBS Soundstage. Is there any chance you can find and post that? He gave a whole rambling introduction to Sail Away that was hilarious. If I remember correctly it was shortly after Good Ol' Boys came out.
