To discover this in 2024, how grand life can be and the far-reaching benefits of KZitem. Everything is perfect, two magnificent singers with a song that's a contender for the greatest of all time, and fantastic live accompaniment. Today's music has nothing by comparison, nor any artists comparable to the great Hoyt Axton and Linda Rondstadt

Hoyt was married to my next door neighbors daughter. He came in to town and I had the honor of sitting down to dinner and talking to him. He was a great guy and had some really cool stories. His touring bus was painted sky blue with clouds all over it. He would park it in the street in front of their house. It was easy to tell when he was in town....LOL

I’m 65 years old now… But I had the pleasure of going to Hoyt Axton’s house when I was 20… Over at dollar point in Lake Tahoe. He was mixing the rusty old halo album… And it was my privilege to hear it before it was released. I got to go there because the fella I was caretaking at the time had business with Hoyt. It was my job to carry my employer Kenny on my back all the way up those stairs to Hoyts House. Was a big old St. Bernard name, fearless sitting on the floor. Of course, I was shy and kept my mouth shut. But Hoyt gave me a Budweiser, I don’t think he knew I was not 21 years old yet.… Fantastic memory!!!! But when I look at this video… I realize why I had such a crush on Linda. My God she was perfect!!! Her beauty… And her voice.…

There are other singers whose songs I liked better, and who I thought were more soulful in their interpretation. Bonnie Raitt and Eva Cassidy come to mind. No pop singer I can think of had better pipes, pitch and control than Linda. Well maybe Aretha and a few black singers were in that class. A true musicologist could certainly challenge my claim. :)

Great singing, both. A simple melody but Ronstadt brings it to another level of sophistication. Her part, the way she voices it, must have been tricky to nail. But then again we’re talking Linda Ronstadt. She could sing country and she could sing operetta and both beautifully and with complete self-assurance.

While there may have been better singers within some genres, Ronstadt excelled across all genres. Hers was a clear, strong and pleasing voice. She attacked each song with precision and elicited the last bit of emotion she could squeeze from every key word in every line of every song. She defined the job title of "Recording Artist" Linda Ronstadt is a rare treasure.

I suppose he might hear those kind of things a lot,but you wouldn't known it by his response. Nothing but kindness & a gentle christian soul. And a big bear of a man for certain,with no menace at all in him for his size. So we were close in front on stage & right beside him after,big man. And he had a ton of great things to say about us here in the pacific northwest, and he just loved the beauty of the forest and the wildlife,the wild streams & salmon runs etc. that was all very kind of him & I'll always remember that show,it would have actually been the very first live musical performance I'd ever attended. The ladies on stage kept pointing at my sister cuz she was singing everything word for word,it made her feel so good & she just laughed. A beautiful memory,thank you Hoyt & friends.
