Welcome to another edition of Rock and Roll Flashback! I'm Jumpin' John, and the story of my life revolves around the wonderful relationship that I had with my soul mate and the love of my life: Sally Lehman McDermott. Had I never met Sally, I would neither have enjoyed our fifty years together, nor the lives of our daughters or of our granddaughters. Music has the mysterious power to trigger deep emotions and re-awaken memories. The My Musical Memories series here on Rock and Roll Flashback Podcasts explores the various ways that music was an integral part of my life with Sally. I'm calling today's podcast, Songs About Birds. It is Part 7 of the My Musical Memories series here on Rock and Roll Flashback podcasts.
During my first 21 years of life I was vaguely aware of birds and bird calls, but I never really paid close attention. However, that all changed on October 16th, 1971 when I met Sally Lehman. You see, Sally loved birds - and, as her best friend and partner, I naturally caught her bird fever! From that wonderful October evening onward, I learned quite a lot about birds from Sally - and also later from our daughter Molly and son-in-law Matthew.
So, in honor of Sally, this podcast is simply about nine popular rock songs whose titles and/or lyrics just happen to mention birds. My choice of songs is not meant to be a "best of" songs about birds. Rather, I have simply chosen nine songs that Sally and I happened to enjoy. The nine songs appear in chronological order by the year that they were released. I will briefly describe each song and then play the song in its entirety. So here goes…
All podcasts on the Rock and Roll Flashback Podcast are produced by brothers-in-law Bill Price and "Jumpin' John" McDermott. The Podcast Theme Song, "You Essay", was written by John. It was initially recorded by Bill and John on April 1, 2004 with several revisions since then.
