An Innocent Man by Billy Joel.

Quote
Some people run from a possible fight
Some people figure they can never win
And although this is a fight I can lose
The accused is an innocent man
I am an innocent man
Oh yes I am
An innocent man

I went back to page 50 #735 to find my comments on this song, I must have made it long ago, it is a direct reference to Ukraine/Russian literature.

If some one is less busy than me they can dig them up.

Sort of FSU related as he died, yesterday ...Charles Aznavour

Born of Armenian  extraction in Paris - his parents were from Georgia and Izmir, Turkey

A good 'ol crooner's song...

Thanks for sharing this one Confederate, one of my favorite songs (and the name of my old sailboat).  I was dismayed to learn last week that J. Geils passed away about a year or so ago.   :saint:

Epic!



Amazing to hear R. Waters, Van the Man and L. Helm as a group/single voice.

Evidently recollections of the concert in Berlin remain legendary.

Hmm, without Gilmour - even with "Van the Maun" - this version is souless...

And now for something a little different. The organist is only some 20 years old - it is amazing to listen so. Gert van Hoef has numerous YouTube video's. This on one side is odd and on the other side mystic and dark.


Sort of wonder how Wiz and the composer feel about this translation.

On a sad note Charles Aznavour died last week, at the age of 94. He lived a remarkable life and can be seen as the last of the traditional chansons of France. An amazing vocal range. RIP

Perhaps She is his best known English song.

I suspect only one or two of follow this thread and Confederate most likely groans at my contributions. But this is entertaining in New Orleans.
