BOB LIND- " ELUSIVE BUTTERFLY "

[Agrace39]

This is the first time I've really heard all of the lyrics. It's so fast moving, and the music is great. So by the time I was ready to move on beyond the lovely words I had stopped to enjoy, I had missed two lines. It's good to find it here and more fully enjoy it. Thank you for uploading this!

[rwells47]

@Agrace39 - you're very welcome!

Gosh, this song reminds me of the very early spring of 1966 when I was a 16-year-old just learning to drive -- just a beautiful piece of music...

my freshman yesr at usc i used to listen to this on the radio every nite when the station signed off at midnite, 1965...so long ago but only as if yesterday

[lucywannabe27]

There was a radio station that used to play this song every day right before 6PM. I think it may have been WNEW. Haven't heard it in years....What memories!

@rwells47 Problem being, we were singing and playing it too slowely. No wonder it "felt" wrong
