I concur! A very impressive, enjoyable performance of Without You. And props for picking such an obscure, underrated song. I live in Portland, OR. Where will you be performing? I'll be there!

Same here...Fleetwood Mac (and various solo ventures) have been the soundtrack of my life since 1977. By the way, you mentioned The Big Three. Do you mean the old folk group with Cass Elliot? She and Mamas & Papas are also a huge part of my soundtrack. Love them to death.

Hey Bill,

I'm really digging all the songs you posted. Yeah, I know where LaurelThirst is. How will I know when you're performing? What name does your band use? Should I look for ads in Williamette Week? (lol).

Yeah, The Big Three was Cass with two folky guys, Tim Rose and Jim Hendricks. They enjoyed some aclaim during the folk craze, producing a couple of albums. (there are a couple of compilation cds out there). Of course, the folk thing faded, especially when the Beatles emerged. Then most of the "folks" went on to rock and roll.

The greatest ever Cass Elliot album ever is her self-titled album from 1972. Just amazing. Unfortunately, the CD of it is very rare. A US version was released in the early 90's, then disappeared (I haven't seen it anywhere since). There was a fairlly recent Japanese issued copy, but even that one is hard to find, and when it is available it goes for big bucks.

If and when I see you perform, I'll be sure to bring a copy of it for you.

Cheers!
