This hidden gem always rests in the back of my mind. A piece of the soundtrack of my life. Days of youth and unfettered happiness. The youngest of four watching the world unfold before him. Parents still young and hip, unmarked by time unvisited by tragedy. Guiding and gliding us along the road of life. The table always set for fun. Sounds of Miles, Monk and Ella float in the air, Sunday mornings stretched out forever in the light of the sun. The wind was our love..

I can still hear Scot Muni playing this almost every evening ... and it makes me think of the hours we spent listening to the (your words are priceless) "glory days of WNEW-FM." And Alison Steele playing In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida each night around 10:15.

Finding songs on YouTube is an excellent passtime. Sometimes I can spend two or three hours in YouTube going from memory to memory. Then toggle over to I-Tunes and buy 'em. Ain't technology great?

Well said - I like to tease my wife sometimes saying that while she was in the back seat of some guys car listening to "Yummy, yummy, yummy" I was in so and so's basement, playing Disreali Gears and Surrealistic Pillow.

I agree ... 'what happened????' My I-pod Nano has the same songs on it now that I would have loaded onto it 40 years ago. If I had a nickel for everytime I've listened to Mixed Bag, In Search of the Lost Chord, Child is Father to the Man, Highway 61 ... do I need to go on?

@1946don I'm here with you all on this one, I graduated HS in 69 and always loved when this tune would come on NEW with Scott, Allison , Dennis Elsis etc, etc..... Just found this after doing some searching and how great to hear it again.... Wow

This is so unique and so a part of a time that will never be again. I'm so glad I experienced this all when it was new and happening. I almost feel sorry for this generation for what they have missed, but they don't care anyway, so my sympathy stays within, resting, waiting for a generation worthy of it.

@misspyefinch Yes. Wow this is like finding a long lost family here. I love you all. i was there too.

@1946don Man, you mentioned every song that brings back the WNEW-FM/late 1960's early 1970's days back to me in every detail. I love all those songs. All unique, all with an atmosphere of their own. Great days in music. What happened????

sweet...sweet...sweet... sounding sentiments... yes, the wind is my love... who knows the wind... who knows my love... where blows the wind... the wind is my love...

@misspyefinch - Since my musical interest stops in the mid to late 70's, 1967 is only about ten years ago. :) Seriously though, songs like this i.e. White Bird (It's a Beautiful Day), Flute Thing (Blues Project), You Set the Scene (Love) etc etc ... they just don't make 'em like that anymore.

@1946don - I remember alison steele playing it too on WNEW. those were the days they could play what they wanted - not what the advertisers wanted. It's a beautiful song.  Can't believe it was 1967
