Joined: March 2008 Posts: 2683 Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | Yes, Jackson Browne wrote that. Glen has changed some of the words, but it's still a great song. Tom Rush did a cover of it back in the day too. I would have liked Glen's version better without all the instrumentation though. | ||

Joined: May 2002 Posts: 1445 Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | That old Martin D18 that Glen is playing is the same one shown in some of the old session clips on the video. This is a "forever" guitar for Glen. An aquaintance of his told me one time that Glen had purchaced a used Cadillac in the early 60's and he found the old Martin abandoned in the trunk. He used this guitar on countless sessions. It is also cool to see the old GCDB proto occasionally still showing up after forty years. It is at about the 2:00 mark. | ||
