They simply do not make music like this any more.

John Sebastian RULEZ.

1. I've always liked that,

and I think part of the reason is that to me it sounds like he's slightly off pitch - but that's what gives it a plaintive sound like I've heard in no other song.

2. John Sebestain is really under-rated. nt

[abq e streeter]

3. one of the most beautiful songs of the 60's

Love the Spoonful, and always admired them for putting out singles that didn't sound anything like the previous one, yet always maintained their consistently high quality. Trivia: John's godmother was Vivian Vance ( Ethel Mertz from I Love Lucy)

4. That song a couple of years ago about the guy writing to his girl at college...

I think it was called Delijah.

But Darlin' Be Home Soon was one of the first songs I learned how to play on my guitar.

5. My dear Prisoner_Number_Six...

They sure don't...

Love it!

6. Wow, thanks. I'd forgotten about that song.

Just bought it on iTunes (under the group Flowerpower, but I think iTunes made a mistake -- that's the name of the album, not the group. It's the same version as the Spoonful's on youtube.)
