Can only imagine this song playing on a transistor radio. Back when that was nearly all there was, it sounded purty good. It was either that, or a static-laced AM car radio, LOL!

RIP. I always thought part of those lyrics were “a Saturday knife”, instead of “start a new life.”

Duane Allman was the session guitarist for that album...

Address it to my wife
Send a copy to my lawyer
Gotta start a new life...”

Duane Allman was the session guitarist for that album...I did not know that. Duane Allman, now there was a tragic death of a tremendously talented young musician.

“Take a letter, Maria” always got a lot of airtime, even after the 60’s and up to now. I sure liked hearing it. RIP.

OMG, that is like a friend of mine who thought Creedance’s lyrics on Bad Moon Rising were “there’s a bathroom on the right.”
