40 years later and I'm still in love with Davy Jones. How can that be possible? He was just so adorable. He sings about his shaving razor in this song but looks like one hasn't touched his baby face yet.

I learned that my first-ever girlfriend died recently. I was 14 and she was 16; she liked her men young and innocent (her old man probably felt the same way).

Anyway, here's one in honor of Kathleen "Little One" Ortiz.

The sad song thread reminded me of Heartaches but it's closer to my favorite oldie than the saddest.

What Jesse Colin Young said about this song recently on a different you tube version: I started writing this song while performing in San Francisco during the Summer of Love. There was a tune on the FM radio there that caught my ear by the band Kaleidoscope, and it helped me dig down into my Celtic roots. I wrote the lyrics at the kitchen table one night in my apartment when we returned home to Manhattan. I wrote it for all my brothers and sisters serving in Vietnam...to support and honor them. I hope we can pause today to honor and thank all those who are serving right now and all who have served in the past. God bless them and bring'em home safe.

I saw Jesse Colin Young open for CSNY in the mid-70s. Great singer/songwriter who probably didn't get his full due.

Along the same line ...

This one has been running through my head the last week or two. It could be an earworm, but it's definitely an oldie from my childhood.


It's supposedly based on childhood rhyme, which brings this to mind.
