The godfather of commercial music...
A younger country singer, Joe Diffie, passed away today; apparently from the COVID-19 virus.Joe Diffie, Nineties Countryç—´ å–„ickup Man, Dead at 61
At 61 he was my age, and too young to die from a stupid virus.

BADGE may be one of my all time 10 favorite songs. Just amazing bass work by Jack Bruce and the guest appearance of George Harrison on rhythm guitar blows me away. Gives me chills. Listen to it every day. Hard to believe that song is 50+ years old.
Related: Bell Bottom Blues another of my all time favorites.
What is it about Claptons music? Stunning guitar work and melodies, such a sincere musician. Could make the guitar actually cry.
Below a picture of Cream in 1968 on the railroad tracks of a farm I grow hay on (Chadds Ford, PA). The second picture I took in March 2020, 52 years later. The tracks were taken out of service because of Hurricane Agnes in 1972.
I still make hay on this farm and the tracks are still there, but barely visible.

Heard on radio today that he was originally credited for co-writing David Alan Coe's tune You Never Even Called Me By My Name with Steve Goodman. He asked to be removed.

I’ve heard a local guy do “dear Abby “. Didn’t know it was a recorded song.
