Happy Fence Friday, All I am pretty sure this is Swanage and it was taken a very long time ago :-))

Explored! Thank you very much :-) One from the archives where I got a bit carried away with filters :-)) The track that comes to mind is "Train Leaves Here This Morning". It was written by Gene Clark and Bernie Leadon. It was recorded by The Eagles and featured on their debut album from 1972. Anything by The Eagles is my fave but the version by Dillard and Clark from their 1968 album "The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark" is my absolute fave version :-) Also, the photo (shown in the video) on the cover of the vinyl copy of the album is one of my all time fave photos :-) I still have the vinyl album :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Train Leaves Here This Morning ~ Dillard & Clark Rest in Peace, Gene & Doug.

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.

"City of New Orleans" was written by Steve Goodman describing a train ride from Chicago to New Orleans on the Illinois Central Railroad's City of New Orleans . The closest I can get to New Orleans is my shot of a train in Swanage railway station :-) The best known version of the song is probably the one by Arlo Guthrie but I am keeping this version for a future post :-) Added to ~ Sight and Sound I am using Steve's version from the Old Grey Whistle Test back in 1972 ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ City of New Orleans ~ Steve Goodman Another fave version for me is by The Highwaymen ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ City of New Orleans ~ The Highwaymen

An easy link today methinks :-) “Train Leaves Here This Morning” written by Gene Clark and Bernie Leadon comes from the legendary album “The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark”. Gene passed away May 24, 1991 at only 46 years old Doug passed away May 16, 2012 at 75 years old RIP Gene & Doug From Wikipedia - “The Fantastic Expedition of Dillard & Clark is a country rock album by Dillard & Clark. The album was recorded in 1968, shortly after Gene Clark departed The Byrds for the second time, and Doug Dillard left The Dillards. The album is hailed by critics and musicians as a masterpiece of the country rock genre.” Added to ~ Soundtrack to Life Listen here - Train Leaves Here This Morning ~ Dillard and Clark
