Nets of Wonder (Circa '66)
Posted: Fri Jan 18, 2008 10:24 pm
Hi folks,
This morning my music player randomly selected Elusive Butterfly and it prompted me to search for other folks on the Internet for whom it resonated. There is a nice version of Bob singing the song 'near a pond' at Jackie and Arlo Guthrie's property in 1992. That's on Youtube (just search 'Elusive Butterfly Berkshires'...I'm unable to post the URL as a newcomer)
Apart from that, I thought I'd list out some of the songs that Bob was competing with to reach No. 5 that year...a pretty illustrious list

19th Nervous Breakdown - The Rolling Stones
A Groovy Kind of Love - The Mindbenders

California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas
Cherish - The Association

For me, it would be between 'Nowhere Man' and 'Elusive Butterfly' as to the one that 'stops me in my tracks' and floods the senses
Hi to you Bob! I'm noting other songs now. Nice to connect with the group!
Namaste,
Dave.
