Moving ahead into the 60s for a little—I can't remember if I've ever posted this one, but this song really gets to me—so beautiful.

Richard Cory, Simon and Garfunkel. This is based on the poem by Edwin Arlington Robinson. Read more about that here:

Richard Cory is an amazing poem. I had no idea they'd written a song based on it! I like the cover of that album, too.

The first song on the first Airplane album. And it's officially old - released nearly 52 years ago on August 15, 1966!

I was delighted to find the chords for it here:

52 years... Man, is that hard to believe. That chord page is a good resource, as it's really hard to hear the chords clearly in the recording well enough to try to re-create them.

Btw, that photo of GS in your signature: Is that an outsized keyboard? Or just the angle of the photo? Or did she somehow shrink temporarily? Whichever of the three it is, she seems pleased about it.

I've never heard that one before. What a beautiful photo with it! —Sigh— I wish I were there...

I'm surprised you never heard it! It's a good one.

Have I posted this one? If so, it's worth a repost—great classic.

That's a really nice one. I love that folky hippie music. Also, that is NOT how I pictured Mary.
