So I'm in the downtown record store on a Saturday evening and the song being played on the stores sound system is a cover of an incredibly recognizable song .... Except for the fact that I can't seem to recall the title or the original performer. But other than that it's immediately recognizable .... And it's on the edge of my memory. And I'm pretty sure that I'd recognize the original because that performer must be slightly more well known than this cover artist. And the song's about to end when it hits me (like a brick) ..... Bob Dylan .... Changing of the Guards!!
And after researching I'm pretty sure that the cover artist was Patti Smith. Not exactly an unknown in the music world.
Also today, another case of just when I think there's no one remaining to discover because after sixty-two years of listening and collecting, it's not possible that there's someone I haven't heard of is there? ….. I stumble across a recording being played on the radio of this guy named Joe Pug. And people say that radio doesn't matter anymore.
