An absolutely perfect song in composition and execution. Jorma's finger picking technique is impossible yet true and Jack Cassidy on bass drives the whole thing forward. Oh man, memories of this song and friends of my youth...it's exactly like water flowing downstream...And the time ...it all slips by just as quickly as this song, not to be too corny about it!!

Some songs never die or fade from memory.

The Water Song will bring me joy till the end of my days.

This little ditty grounded my mind while I was in Vietnam.

@lateforthesky61 I would not trade for anything the love of life and music I gained from being born in 1954 and being a teen as these once-in-a-lifetime musical experiences happened one after another for years on end. The world will never see the musical equivalent of the 1960s and 1970s again. From Motown to World Beat to ROCK 'N" EFFING ROLL, baby, there was no better time to be a music fan. Even better if you knew Mr. Owsley , and your friends always dropped by around 4:20.

I admit to only skimming the comments, but I'll say this: Sammy Piazza makes every song on this album move forward. He keeps a great tempo and beat (with Jack Casady) that is truly toe-tapping. And with Papa John on some cuts, a remarkable album that wears the test of time quite well, thankyouverymuch.

@bluesborn Great Music never dies. Bubble music is just that and the bubble always pops. That's one reason why they call it pop.

@rpmhart Don't let it bother you, they are just trolls.

The problem with music today is its all self centered. "all I care about is money and the city that im from" is just one example of exactly what this musical movement lacked. Tuna, like the Dead, could have played for days on end purley for the love of music. Its that love that made songs like this absolutely perfect. all instruments working togther flowing in a natural river of pure awsome. As a 17 year old in an age of crap music, this inspired me to pick up guitar to keep the dream alive.

I listen to this little ditty almost everyday. Peace Love Happiness ~

This tune is an amazing piece of work. I have loved it from the minute I first heard it on FM Radio back in the 70s. There is such depth and joy in the instrumentation of this wonderful composition.
