Interesting tune.  Never heard of If before but that's why I come here.  To hear new-for-me old music.  

Nothin' quite like Elmore James doing Dust My Broom.  Recorded in '51.  Elmore was a huge influence on early 60's British blues.  No small wonder.

 

 

Gotta devote some space for Elmore.  The Sky Is Cryin' recorded in '59.

 

 

The Sky Is Crying performed by the Yardbirds with Eric Clapton in July, '64.  Off of their Live! Blueswailing July '64 LP.

And the Allman Bros. version off of their At The Fillmore East Live, recorded March 1971.

No time to catch up with Tippers' output. There's no stopping the man until he gets recalled to work, wherever that is. Just hope it's not an oil well somewhere in the Middle East.

He'd be better off going to the pits of the UK, Humberside. At least death would be slow there.

What's at stake here is nothing less than the status of this remaining a pinned thread.  And then there's the competition factor with that other music thread.  This is all about death and pride!!

Queen proclaiming about the posters on this thread, We Are The Champions!!  Sing it loud, sing it proud!!  Off of their '77 News Of The World LP.

 

 

BTW, where the F is everyone?  Granted we've picked up a few new antiquated souls; Oliver Holzerfilled, xylophone & zyphodb.  I see tutsi's shadow flickerin' now and again.  Morrobay is still kickin' (with a noticeable limp).  Andrew may as well be six feet under.  Nor does balo appear even as his ghost.  Faraday seems to be nearer his last gasp.  What the heck has happened to our little commune?

 

Dead Flowers all!

 

 

As to myself, I may yet die at 23.  Got a long way to go . . .
