Carol, that song had not been shared already - at least not this time. "Down in the boondocks" sound a bit like "down on the bayou," and so you may have been thinking of that. Fat Boy Slim Right Here, Right Now "Right about now.." the Funk Soul Brother

Everything is broken - Kenny Wayne Shepherd

Kenny is a great blues guitarist! I saw him in concert back when he wasn't even old enough to legally buy a drink. He's 45 now.

"You're Breaking My Heart", by Harry Nilsson

Nilsson was a genius who, like many others of this kind, had inner demons and torments that affected him and ultimately overcame him. He was a close friend and confidant/collaborator with many of the prominent musicians of his era, including the Beatles and many others.

He wrote this song on the occasion of the end of a marriage. It was the favorite of many of his friends. Here's a story that has been substantiated by many sources who were present: at Nilsson's funeral, as his casket was being lowered into the ground, George Harrison spontaneously started singing this song and was joined by many in attendance. Harrison played guitar on this recording, by the way. Be sure to listen to the lyrics, they're very special,

Uptown Gal, don't forget Coconut, Spaceman, 1941, Me and My Arrow, Without Her, Early in the Morning, Gotta Get Up, and so many others.

Nilsson sang "Everybody's Talkin" for the movie Midnight Cowboy but didn't write it. The composer was Fred Neil. He also didn't write "Without You"

I don't have any more songs for this at the moment, and so if someone else wants to start part II, feel free. I'm getting packed to go back to L.A. this morning and won't be around.
