As a teen, I saw the Hollies perform at a teen club located in the basement of a shopping center with a 12” stage. Graham Nash was still with them and introduced the last song as “Milk Cow Blues” but jammed into “Bus Stop” - great “concert”!

Always was a big Beatles fan but the original Hollies group w/Nash was one of my all time faves. Love that lead guitar in so many of their songs (Look thru Any Window) - rather Byrds-like.

“I Can’t Let Go” - great little song written by Chip Taylor, whose brother, Jon Voight, has had a pretty good career himself.

Graham Nash & Susan Sennett paid me $20 to for some gardening back ~74 so I could take m out before we were married. So I guess you could say our joint cash flow started there.

...Is it?? Naaaa

Sure it is. Notice Clarke singing into three mikes. Recorded right out of the board. These guys were good. They could easily do a song like this in one take, with rudimentary equipment.

Good stuff Drumbo! Thanks for the ping! ;)

“the air that i breathe” is one of my top ten all time favorite songs. and i just realized i do NOT have it on my mp3 player. that must be changed.

The engineer for that song was Alan Parsons, a few years later, Alan Clarke would lend his vocals to one of the Alan Parsons Project's best known songs, "Breakdown" from "I Robot."
