My problem with Dave Mason

[chriskisn]

My problem with Dave Mason is this, twenty five years between two concerts and he still does the song in exactly the same way. I have seven different versions of this song spanning 30 years and they all same the same.

It really doesn't hurt to change a song occasionally...

You can pretty much play these two videos as a duet in parts...

Yeah the only difference to me is that "trying to get along" line where in later years he felt he had to do that Pee Wee Herman/Louis Armstrong scat stuff during it which makes it worse as far as I'm concerned. If you're gonna make changes Dave (however small they might be) please make good ones.

Wow John you actually did find a difference between them, I'm impressed. I'm afraid I had fallen asleep by that stage of the song

Actually it is a shame that Dave keeps recycling his old hits because some of his lesser known stuff is actually ok.

Lets just hope he releases another album before I'm a grandfather (and I don't even have kids yet).

1) He just released one a couple of months ago, I think

2) I'm a grandfather without ever being a dad. One does NOT necessarily begat the other.

Yep my point exactly, what was it, 21 years between albums. I could really be a grandfather in 21 years...
