“Time Fades Away”……
Or more accurately, Time “Zip-a-de-do-dah’s” Away…… Â I could swear yesterday was the last day of August, and now, today, it’s almost the last day of September!….. Â Don’t ask me where the days went, I have no idea…… Â I did notice that we’re having a little cooler days, but, it’s still all sunshine and dead grass here….. Â You can’t even buy (or rent) a cloud, and, Rain has become just a word…. Â There’s no physical evidence that it exists….. Â Thank God for DVD’s, or I wouldn’t know what it looks like, and the word “Rain” would have no meaning whatsoever……
I thought I would throw in a audio clip for your enjoyment (or not)…..  This version of this song has been heard by only a handful of people since it was recorded live on May 30, 1974…..  The band was called “Wolfbrand Band” and, although I named it and was a member, we didn’t have what you would call a leader…..  It was just four young lost souls with very little equipment having a go at being musicians, and, as Maxwell Smart would say, “And Loving It”….  I think I had more fun in this band than any I was in…..  Without further ado – Time Fades Away – let me know what you think (That’s me (MR) on slide guitar and harp)…..  Enjoy (I Hope)……  Seems like it was only a couple of months ago, not decades, when we recorded that…..  I’d like to know who’s been stealin’ Time…..

A little take-off on the Blues Brothers, Robo?….. Where the bar waitress tells Jake and Elwood that they have both kinds of music at “Bob’s Country Bunker” – Country and Western……

Mr. J’s one of the few that has heard some of the “Wolfbrand Band” recordings….. Since J.J.’s a BIG fan of Neil Young, I feel honored that he thinks our version of Neil’s “Time Fades Away” is so good….. Of course, I think it’s GREAT, but I’m prejudiced (Ha!)……
Somebody stop Time….. It’s already ran into my Birthday – Yes, todays MR’s Birthday….. Gotta go do something really dumb and memorial if I can get these old creaky bones up and running…… “Happy Birthday to Me”…….

And a big HAPPY BIRTHDAY to you. I hope one thing you do today is play some music……guitar I mean. Keep those fingers moving. Keep those notes jumping in your head.
I’ll be waiting on Wolfbrand.

Thank You for the Happy Birthday wish, Anon, and, I’ve had a good one so far – It’s not midnight yet…… Just finished a visit from J.J., Skyped on the computer with Jek, and am now getting ready to do a little picking and grinning (Ha!)……
Be prepared for more WolfBrand Band and Terraplane tracks….. I am planning on doing a weekly, maybe semi-weekly, maybe monthly, maybe every once in a while “MR Archives” with a different track each time along with recording and personnel details….. Might be fun…..
