Now THAT'S music!

[SilverHeels]

oh yes! They truly were superb!

i waws delighted to see that somebody else had bitten the bullet and tried out one of the new VBcodes, I see CHar that you just might,as I did myself, have cribbed the code from Florian's original "Restless" vistory posting on the Test Forum, because you also put the video's URL inside quotation marks whereas the usual [url] tags do not need them.
whatever That is truly a very sweet reminder of a great era and recording, as I think I remarked last year Mary having sufferred from Chemo has lost her glorious long hair but not her glorious voice

[charlene]

all I did was copy and paste the link and there it was - the actual video was in the post..magic!
I don't know a VB code from from a Morse code..

[johnfowles]

OK the youtube URL is[list=1][*]htp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPnLK1WnXxg[*]or

YouTube - Early Morning Rain - Peter, Paul and...

Notes on above
1 above I omitted the second "t" to show the link as it is
2 is when I typed it in full
which if you check my text by trying a quote reply
you will see that the board vey cleverly converts this "media" link into the correct syntax to show the youtube flash video player and the video title and the complete URL posting includes the quotation marks like this:-[*][url= "htp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPnLK1WnXxg" ]
second "t" again omitted but quotation marks retained[*]Now I'll try now copying that and deleting the quotation marks:-
i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPnLK1WnXxg]

and see what happens then.

Wow! This is great. Maybe we could start "Picture that video..."

[Don Quixote]

Great. However, doesn't this dispel the "Elvis changed the song for me by singing 'As cold and drunk as I MIGHT be'"? You can clearly hear Paul singing "might"--I even played it back several times to be sure. Perhaps some revisionist history?

Thanks so much for guiding us to that *particular* youtube. I followed it through some beautiful John Denver songs. This may be old news to some here but it was new and wonderful to me. I had forgfotten how much I miss his music!

Good catch DQ.

[Don Quixote]

Thanks, Val. It's certainly an understandable mistake. After all, Noel Paul Stookey--Elvis Presley. The names are so close, and they look like they could be twins, and their voices and musical styles are so alike it's almost eerie!
Cheers,

oooh sure does,

And here, http://www.anelvisfan2001.com/EarlyMorningRain.html claims that Elvis followed PP&M's interpretation (a more 'folksy' version)..so evidently in the lyrics as well because...

In the second verse, both PP&M and Elvis sang, "Where the pavement never grows". So again...Elvis followed PP&M here. The Kingston Trio sing the line as, "Where the cold wind blows" (as originally published) and Gordon, "Where the pavement e're [ever] grows".
