For JJ

JJ Cale died today at 74.

I remember sitting on the bonnets of cars drinking beer at the beach with chicks listening to Hey Babe, Money Talks, Cocaine and other songs of his in my late teens, thinking this was all that I needed in life.

Even now when I play JJ I reninisce of those days and others and just generally feel all laid back and easy going as his songs creep through me, relaxing my mind and body better than any massage or muscle relaxant could.

Thanks JJ.

Yay, congratulations. Always new you would, though, you are a clever one.

Lazy days here, Lach, just the way I like em.
And for you!



I always thought this was Eric Clapton's song. Thanks for the enlightenment! Bad drug, but good song and rhythm!

Thanks Ed. I hadn't seen JJ Cale perform that version before.

Lachi - Those late night chats make for a good excuse for a midday nap - if you ever needed one. Midday naps are most under rated.applause
That is a durn shame. You know, I think that Righteous Brother's song is right on, even more true today than it was then.

Another one bites the dust...sad flower
