On That Note: Gust of Wind

Gordon Lightfoot wrote this song.

Out on runway number nine,
Big 707 set to go.
But I'm stuck here in the grass,
Where the cold wind blows.

 
When I saw the Flatlanders (Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Joe Ely, and Butch Hancock) in concert, maybe 12 years ago, they were playing this George Harrison album before their set.

 
Jimmie Dale Gilmore appeared in the movie The Big Lebowski (bowling alley scene)

Well the mountain dreams of a blanket of snow
And the wild wind dreams of directions it might blow
But the river's dream is a dream of love
And a dream of sweet reflections from above


 
Little Feat's Texas Twister



What'd you think...replace Texas Twister with Twister Sister?

Lyrics from Vaughn Monroe's Ghost Riders In The Sky: "An old cowpoke went riding out on a dark and windy day..."



Among the first songs I looked forward to hearing come up on the radio.

So glad you didn't snag all the Steely Dan classics.

The wind was driving in my face
The smell of prickly pear
(My rival, show me my rival)
The milk truck eased into my space
Somebody screamed somewhere
I struck a match against the door
Of Anthony's Bar and Grill

Rose darling come to me
Snake Mary dreams along
I would guess she's in Detroit
With lots of money in the bank
Although I could be wrong
You must know it′s right
The spore is on the wind tonight
You won't feel it till it grows

 
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about, I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say

Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more no!

 
Off the wind on this heading lie the Marquesas
We got eighty feet of the waterline nicely making way
In a noisy bar in Avalon I tried to call you
But on a midnight watch I realized why twice you ran away

 
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
Ride like the wind at double speed
I'll take you places that you've never, never seen
