"Mystery Train"

Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I thought this was a bit of a 'mystery train' cos it didn't appear to have a name. But, I guess 'D80104' is its name :-) But, sticking with my original thought means I can link this shot to "Mystery Train" by the Band with Paul Butterfield.....methinks :-) Duet vocal with Levon Helm.

"King Harvest Has Surely Come"

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) This shot was taken at Harvest time and that makes an easy link.........for me :-) …......to “King Harvest Has Surely Come” by The Band. The lead vocal here is by Richard Manuel. Richard was born in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. Tragically, Richard committed suicide when he was only 42 years of age. Below is an extract reproduced from Wikipedia. Link as follows - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Manuel “On March 4, 1986, after a gig at the Cheek to Cheek Lounge outside Orlando, Richard Manuel committed suicide. He had appeared to be in relatively good spirits but ominously thanked Garth Hudson for "twenty-five years of incredible music". The Band returned to the Quality Inn, down the block from the Cheek to Cheek Lounge, and Richard talked with Levon Helm about music and film in Levon's room. According to Levon, at around 2:30 Richard said he needed to get something from his room. Upon returning to his motel room, it is believed that he finished one last bottle of Grand Marnier before hanging himself. Richard's wife Arlie - also intoxicated at the time - discovered his body along with the depleted bottle and a small amount of cocaine the following morning. Richard was buried a week later in his hometown of Stratford, Ontario.” RIP, Richard. Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life Listen here ~ King Harvest Has Surely Come ~ The Band

"Such A Night"

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I was going to try and NOT upload any shots to 'Soundtrack to Life' for a day or two and concentrate on 'Non-StoL' shots :-) But, David ('youngerthanyesterday') has reminded me of the brilliance of Dr John :-) It looks like it will soon be 'Night' in Stowe Landscape Gardens so I figure I can you use a fairly tenuous link to “Such A Night” by Dr John performed at “The Last Waltz” :-) Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life Listen here - Such A Night ~ Dr John
