Slip Sliding Away

First of all, I love this song! Paul Simon is one of my all time favorites. "Slip Slidin' Away" appears on his compilation album Greatest Hits. It was one of two new songs to appear on the album, the other being "Stranded in a Limousine". Backing vocals on the song are provided by The Oak Ridge Boys. The song was originally recorded and considered for Simon's 1975 album Still Crazy After All These Years, but Simon decided not to include the song on the finished album. A demo version appears on the 2004 re-issue of the album. The song was also included on Negotiations and Love Songs (1988). Billboard found the melody to be "catchy" and the lyrics to be "sensitive, thoughtful, melancholic and evocative. I hope you enjoy my Version! Gene

I remember everything

John Prine’s last recorded song and first #1 single, “I Remember Everything,” was been nominated in two categories at the 63rd Grammy Awards: Best American Roots Performance and Best American Roots Song. The live awards ceremony was broadcast Sunday, January 31 2020. It took sixteen years before the Grammy voters recognized his singular genius by awarding him with a Grammy. They did nominate him for Best New Artist in 1972, but he didn’t win. But in 1988 he was awarded his first for The Missing Years as Best Contemporary Folk album. Then more nominations came but no more awards until 1999 when he won in the same category for his album Fair and Square. He was awarded with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement award at the 2020 Grammys. John wrote “I Remember Everything” with his good friend and longtime collaborator Pat McLaughlin. It was recorded in 2019 in his living room with producer Dave Cobb and engineer Gena Johnson.

you aint going nowhere

"You Ain't Goin' Nowhere" is a song written by Bob Dylan in 1967 in Woodstock, New York. It was a hit by the Byrds. The Byrds loved to cover Bob Dylan: the original band released 13 Bob Dylan covers. The Byrds typically kept the lyrics and the basic rhythm and melody pretty the same as in the Bob Dylan original. Instead, they added value with their inarguably better singing, and their often greater attention to harmony and production.Here is Gene doing a his version.
