"People of The South Wind" >>>> Finding out that most of my core listenership were metal-heads, I veered harder without losing my Psychedelic Fiber and Country-Rock roots... -- Pat Benatar: "Fire and Ice" (partial) -- Pat Benatar: "Why Waste Precious Time?" -- Chambers Brothers: "Time Has Come Today" -- TSN News intro -- TSN snippet -- Kansas: "People of the Southwind" -- Allman Brothers: "Hold Your Ground" -- Marshall Tucker Band: "Cattle Drive" (instrumental) -- "As The Raven Flies" -- Emerson, Lake and Palmer: "From The Beginning" -- "... you're with Malcolm at K-Gull..." -- Gary Wright: "I Really Want to Khow You" (most of it) -- IMAGE: Aerial view of the causeway between Port Lavaca and Port O'Connor -- NOTES: Length: 0:31:22; Quality: Fair (off radio by Jackie Bales in Magnolia Beach) - Listen how I punch-in "Hold Your Ground" ontop of the fading "People of the Southwind" ... stuff like that got me high! -- LYRICS to "People of the Southwind" There are some who can still remember All the things that we used to do. But the days of our youth were numbered And the ones who survived it are few. Oh, I can still see the smiling faces When the times were so good. All in the old familiar places. I'd go back if I could (to the) People of the South Wind. People of the Southern Wind. It's the People of the Wind. I got to be there again. Well, it's a hard thing to face the music. But it's something everybody has got to do. So I hope that I can always remember All the crazy times we had to go through. Now it's a dream that is slowly fading. And I don't want it to go. All of the memories are evading And I want you to know (it's the) People of the South Wind. People of the Southern Wind. It's the People of the Wind. I got to be there again. Now we've traveled across the oceans And we've seen what there is to see. But I guess it's not the proper solution Cause it's all about the same to me. Now I look back and it makes me wonder Why we just couldn't see All of the battles we fought and won there And wish that I could be with the People of the Wind. I want to see'em again. It's where we used to be free And that's the place for me. It's just a state of mind. A thing that's so hard to find With the People of the Wind.

Some came thru, like Felix, and I got to be friends with some of the hardcore listeners who were mostly teenagers and heavily into metal...
