1969-1971


California Dreamin…

Momma Told Me Not To Come

By The Time I Get To Phoenix

Will Anybody Really Know What Time Has Spun

 

Hotel California…

Its Chain Gang wearing thin

Searching for an American Woman

Blowin In The Wind

 

Bill Bojangles Robinson…

preaching Fire And Rain

New York’s A Lonely Lonely Town

dragging Ball And Chain

 

Summertime Blues and Porgy’s drowning…

Riders On The Storm

Layla kisses Judy Blue Eyes

Stairway To Heaven scorned

 

Woodstock and a Big Bear Scrambler…

Who’ll Stop The Rain

Don’t Think Twice this Hard Day’s Night

 Eli’s Comin again

 

Hey Jude, Moondance is calling…

It’s Too Late says Ms. King

Yesterday’s Hound Dog barking Crazy

—the Purple Haze begins
