    I may have posted the Michael Stanley Band a long time ago; I'm too lazy to look. Here they are [again?] from the great state of Ohio:

    I know this is one of your faves, Daniel. Must say it's a real fence kicker (sad song).

    It's a song that will last forever. Remember the first time you heard it? It blew me away.

    George, you'll like this page, about Wichita Lineman and its extremely unusual chord progressions:

    And this; Billy Joel talking about the song by his friend Jimmy Webb at an awards presentation:


    Also this excellent piano version by Alan Pasqua, just stunning:


    This is nice, too, another instrumental:

    Had this problem yesterday, but it fixed itself. All I can see of our posts is the writing and a blank black screen where the songs use to be... Suggestions?

    After learning what an unconventional song this is I like it better. My brother, may he rest in peace knew Jimmy Webb. I didn't know that JW penned this tune until today. On the ball--or what?
