The Marshall Tucker Band~Argosy & me
Last night I finally got to see The Marshall Tucker Band; music quite possibly the only reason that would get me on the Argosy Casino, of course Kevin and I ate at the buffet. After all these years, I was ever so pleased! The flute was beautifully awesome and the vocals sweet. Back in the 70's, I became hooked on Marshall Tucker's music beginning with the song FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN, and my brother Larry and I would dance and sing to the song HEARD IT IN A LOVE SONG. In a most sad and sorrowful kind of way, the line in the song FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN , which goes, Shot down in cold blood was somewhat prophetic, for my brother Larry left this world in this way. Now whenever I hear the beautiful country~rock melodies of The Marshall Tucker Band I have the sweet memories of my brother's beautiful laughing eyes as we enjoyed singing and dancing together. Unfortunately, Bros. Turkey they did not sing SEARCHING FOR A RAINBOW~but for you and I~...I'll say to hell with that pot of gold...will always be our favorite line in that song! Thanks Marshall Tucker!!!
