I owe a thank-you to ZombyWoof for his recent Van Morrison thread

[saltpoint]

on DU.

Thanks to that thread, I've had "Tupelo Honey" playing in my head.

Great song. Great thread.

:thumbsup:

1. Dang, I missed it! I love Van M;orrison,

and am going to look for ZombyWoof's thread now. Thanks for the heads-up, Old Crusoe! :hi:

4. Hey there, Heidi. It's a great thread and Morrison is a cosmic talent.

I don't just like Morrison. I REQUIRE him. Just a long, long list of slendid music he's given us.

5. Same here.

"Into the Mystic" is mine and Call Me Wesley's "song." :)

6. "Into the Mystic" was one of the first Morrison songs I ever heard.

Those are some of the tastiest sax arrangements ever, on top of everything else that's perfect.

7. If pressed

That is my favorite. Among 2 or 4 or 19 others. :D

[saltpoint]

8. ! With an artist like Morrison, you're allowed no more than 370 favorites

and that's the absolute limit.

[Zomby Woof]

9. What if I list 371?

Huh? :D

Just for brevity's sake, 10 more:

"Listen To The Lion"
"Big Time Operators"
"Cypress Avenue"
"In The Garden"
"Spanish Steps"
"And It Stoned Me"
"I've Been Working"
"Tore Down A La Rimbaud"
"Bright Side of The Road"
"Astral Weeks"

2. You're welcome, Old Crusoe!

That is indeed a beautifully crafted collection of songs. He was in peak form during that era - although it's safe to say he has never strayed far from the summit - and Tupelo Honey is as sweet as its namesake. :toast:

The wild night is calling!

3. Indeed. And more power to ya, ZW.
