Songs I'd Forgotten Existed, Let Alone Loved (An Occasional Series): Special "Apparently British Health Care Didn't Cover Dental" Edition

Hey -- a big "Hi!" from Edinburgh, and also Rosh Hashanah greetings! More on both of those later in the week (and that last Jewish reference was a clue to Friday's Weekend Listomania, BTW). 😎

Meanwhile -- from 1973, please enjoy legendary UK folk-rockers The Strawbs lip-synching (live on German tv's Hits à GoGo) to their fabulous, and deserved, hit "Lay Down."

I don't think I'd thought about/heard that song in five decades or more, until the other day when it showed up on the soundtrack of the British time-travelling cop show Life On Mars, which I've been binge-watching of late and which I heartily recommend. The series is set in 1973 (hence the song's inclusion) and I gotta say, as period-accurate as it is, none of its underworld characters have teeth even remotely as bad/disturbing as Strawbs' drummer Richard Hudson in the video above. 😎

Consequently, and because I love you all more than food, I'm appending another video for "Lay Down"; this one has genuine high quality stereo sound, and lets you enjoy the song without having to watch that band of weirdo hippies in the German clip. 😎😎

You're welcome very much.

Tomorrow: Travel notes from the first day of our Scottish vacation. No fooling!!!
