John Prine - How Lucky
This is from a PBS special aired in 1980. Today in the house I'm house-sitting I found this record, Pink Cadillac, put out on Asylum (the label on which my lovely lady Joni Mitchell put out Court and Spark and Hissing of Summer Lawns and a bunch more ultimate soul jams, so you know it's going to be bumpin') in '79. It's really good. But this one was playing while I was eating my chicken noodle soup and gazing out at the Charleston marsh after waking up feeling great and loved. How lucky can one (wo)man get?

Asylum Records was owned by David Geffen, who later started Geffen Records, which featured Nirvana and Sonic Youth in the early '90's. Dylan was on Asulum during a brief stint. The Label also released albums by Warren Zevon, jackson browne ect ect.
Yeah! Cause "Free Man in Paris" on Court and Spark is about Dave Geffen. Awesome town.
