The emotion that Dennis put into this is right on. Every version I've seen has that, including the one on Youtube done on Shel's houseboat where Shel is doing the harmonica part.

I think the Galveston thing is still accurate because Mexico is "down Galveston way" from where she was living at the time

I'll also add that I don't think Shel would've made a good husband. I doubt he would have stayed faithful to anyone but that's just my view from afar. He had incredible creative skills but I don't think he was much of a family man

I don't think anyone could have sung "Sylvia's Mother" as effectively as Dennis Locorriere did with emotive, scratchy voice. That song sticks in our minds after all of these years because of how Dennis performed it.

My eyes are not the best in the world but isn 't that Mick Fleetwood sitting next to Shel Silverstein in the video houseboat jam session above (about 2:51 of the video) ?

I subscribed to Rolling Stone from about 1972 to 1980. When I cancelled my subscription, they called me up and tried to talk me into re-upping. I wish I could remember the guys name because it was some honcho from the magazine.

Rolling Stone and The Sporting News were my favorite things to read on weekends aa a kid. Did you ever subscribe to TSN ?

[Ky Fried Redleg]

Give me a Rolling Stone and The Sporting News, some American Bandstand[, followed by Soul Train, Baseball's Game of the Week , then an episode of Sports Challenge and my Saturday was GOLD.

My dad was in the advertising business and got a complimentary subscription to about every known magazine. Probably from 1963 to 1968, I studied the stats published in TSN religiously. In those pre-Internet days, it was the only way to get that data. I know that’s hard to conceive of these days.

I also read Time, Newsweek, Life, US News and World Report, Harper’s, Ramparts, Vogue, etc etc. Again, we had no internet for all necessities provided, all anxieties tranquilized, all boredom amused.

I mentioned my condo on the Chesapeake in my Thunder Island appreciation post. There happens to be a yacht rock staple that features the lines:

I'll take you on a trip beside the ocean
And drop the top at Chesapeake Bay

Can you name the song that peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976, and the band who recorded it?

Starbuck

I started to say this band shares a name with a TV sci-fi character from the same decade, but I knew texasdave didn’t need the help.

Starbuck

Wow, I was actually working on a trivia question on this song . The song always makes me smile. LOVE iT!
