The Eagles-Journey of the Sorcerer ( Long Version)

Always loved this music and a lovely vid to go with it , makes you feel very very small and harmless

well mostly harmless

This is like hooking my brain up to a fairy cake and seeing my place in the Universe. Only in a good way.

Such a Great song.

It goes so well with that Most awesome of Books turned movie, The HitchHiker's Guide To The Galaxy.

Actually, it was a radio play turned a whole lot of things! Each subtly, or not-so-subtly, different from all the others, perfectly in keeping with the "Whole Sort of General Mish-Mash" theory expressed later in the series. If you liked the book and the movie, I highly recommend the 1981 mini-series. Real hoopy show.

i feel like going and watching the series now
made my horrible day that much better =)

Talk about job satisfaction! It must be Thursday?

i could never get the hang of thursdays

I agree this is a phenomenal piece. The writer and main performer is Bernie Leadon - at the time with The Eagles. Bernie is from Gainesville, FL and plays guitar, banjo, pedal steel, etc. He was a founding member of the Eagles, and survived the road, leaving after "One of These Nights." Bernie was an influence on another G'ville rocker, Tom Petty. It's interesting that the liner notes for this song credit the Royal Martian Orchestra -- high times were enjoyed by all.

Bernie may have influenced Petty but Felder taught him to play. He's also from Gainesville.  I may get to meet Felder next month thru a friend of a friend. Check out 'Heaven and Hell' Felder interview on youtube.
