Subject: RE: Most Underrated Recording
Don,

I remember a way below zero night in Rockford, Illinois, back in the 70's, after a gig opening the show for Biff Rose at Charlotte's Web (a good club), driving back to the farm where Biff & I were being housed a ways out o' town, we had THREE flat tires!! The kind of nights one doesen't forget. Where we got 3 spares I'll never know.Do ya have any idea where Biff is now?

Yeah, Biff's "THORN IN MRS> ROSE'S SIDE" was a grand and underrated album. One song really has stuck with me although the album has been long gone from my posession. It's the song about the guy who joins the circus and leaves his Molly behind--always thinking that he'll go home to her. When he returns to the place he's old and grizzled from all the road years--and Molly is gone. A very haunting song...
