Happy Birthday Graham Nash. Graham wrote " Marrakesh Express" the last year he was in the Hollies. But his bandmates didn't think the song commercial enough, so they never released it. He held onto the song and recorded it with his new group, Crosby, Stills and Nash and they included it on their 1st album. The 1st live performance of the song was at Woodstock.
In an interview, he talked about the inspiration behind it;
Inspiration for the song occurring during a Moroccan vacation he took in 1966. On the trip, Nash traveled by train from Casablanca to Marrakesh. (Whether this was an express train, he did not specify.) He began the journey in First Class, surrounded by people he found to be uninteresting—as he described it, they were all "ladies with blue hair." Upon this observation, he decided the compartment was "completely f*****g boring," so left his seat to explore the other train carriages. He was fascinated by what he saw.
The song mentions "ducks and pigs and chickens," and that, according to Nash, is actually what was there. He recalled the ride by commenting: "It's literally the song as it is--what happened to me".

Leon Redbone; passed away at only 69 years of age. A real, one of a kind. He knew his 'thing" and stuck with it, never chasing modern fads. This song may be called; " Please Don't Talk About me When I'm Gone", but Leon was a unique guy, and deserves mentioning here, so, yea Leon, I'm gonna talk about you....RIP...

I heckled him for going commercial with "This Bud's For You", but loved his cover tunes of early to mid-century jazz artists.
In this piece, one of America's greatest pianists is covered by one of Austria's greatest, from the same era of music that Redbone worked with. Remember, it's not old music...it's as fresh and full of life as music can be, at the very instant you press play...

Fellow Texan, Josh Abbott was just on "The Texas Music Scene" (TV show) this last Saturday night playing this song, and just posted it to YouTube, 2 days ago. The whole band meshes together well. If you like new country or like to see what up and coming bands out of Texas are doing, I highly recommend the show....
