Similar to Kate and Anna McGarrigle, Eric Andersen was born about five years later than he should have been. When Andersen burst onto the scene with his classic album "Bout Changes and Things" the folk era was ending and the era of the British Invasion, psychedelic music and outrageously gifted lead electric guitarmen was just beginning. Both the McGarrigles and Andersen produced some of the most beautiful and intelligent folk music ever written but by then interest in folk music had waned.
@dlphcoracl Popular interest may have faded at the commercial-channel lovel, but this internet invention thingy will ensure that these beautiful, creative and intelligent songs will live and gather followers while they share timeless sentiments in an undated way.,, simply, humanly...
Loved him back, then. Still love him now. So glad I can listen to all this man's great songs. Check out "Sheila" and "The Woman She was Gentle". Takes me back to a very great time in the world.
Very cool! In another lifetime, in a galaxy far, far away I was in a band that played this and some other songs by Eric. "Bout Changes & Things 2 provided the basis for our versions. Post 'em if you have 'em! Thanks . . .
@nick40nick40 Yes, thank you for reminding! As is just such a shiney and sparkling song, that is what I initially thought , a song under a starry night, and realised later with your comment I forgot to add 2 more....:)
@nick40nick40 o well thank you! * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (this is only for today more tomorrow...the love for this magic song is growing everyday...;-)
I love this tune. Its a glass of wine and a smoke to destress number!

Saw him play in a muddy field in Buffalo in the early 70's. I wouldn't have missed it for the world.

@dlphcoracl I saw him in Denver in the late 60's. His voice and lyrics have haunted me ever since.
