"There's a night bird singing
Right on through till the dawn
And the streets are still ringing
With people carrying on"....

The late, and very great, John Prine:
"Well, it'd been years since the kids had grown
A life of their own, left us alone
John and Linda live in Omaha
And Joe is somewhere on the road...."

Everybody's a dreamer and everybody's a star
And everybody's in movies, it doesn't matter who you are
There are stars in every city
In every house and on every street
And if you walk down Hollywood Boulevard
Their names are written in concrete........

His brother James wrote it, but Alex just nails it with his rendition:

Great call. This song popped into my head a few weeks ago and I’ve been playing James’s version daily since then; I forgot that Alex covered it—and I have this one on vinyl, too! Think I will spin it this afternoon.

Loggins and Messina - quite the song, pretty profound IMO:

"In the street there go the brothers,
Selling slow and ship to others,
Aiding those who's songs have turned to cries,
Is no surprise."

Jerry Riopelle taking to the road. A bit of irrelevant music trivia, Lindsey Buckingham sings backup on one tune on the record, very pre-Fleetwood Mac fame
