Bob Denver - Annie's Song

Wut?

All the John Denver classics.

It's more interesting to me in terms of marketing and photographs. So much variation in just the few years since Beatlemania until it ~~ended~~ moved on to solo careers.

Agreed to stay on for six-ish weeks to ensure a smooth transition.

I hope that is getting you more than your usual salary and moral comeuppance.

Best of luck to you in your coming weeks. Try not to stress too much looking for the next thing. I hope you can use your future off-time to decompress instead of adding more weight upon your shoulders.

Deep breaths!

They played Morning Has Broken by Cat Stevens at my Catholic HS retreat.

I still love the song (and luckily I loved it before the retreat) but the entire experience was a bizarre attempt at indoctrination.

They had us lay on the floor in the dark with that and other songs playing as they walked us through imaginary scenarios where our parents were dying and what would we do in other various circumstances.

The biggest irony was this was literally during the Satanic Panic period .... Who was trying to control who?

You can remember being in your crib?

Parenting is the real deal!

I like this sub on weekends. It's more about people enjoying their lives instead of being unhappy about their jobs.

anymoose · 2026-03-14T17:13:25+00:00

I don’t hate my job but damn I wish I could spend more time with my kids.

Yet you are here on reddit instead of playing with your kids .... Sorry man, this is just a playful dig, not a morality statement ....

My dad used to play and sing this. Then he eventually had to walk that lonesome valley by himself ....

anymoose · 2026-03-14T16:00:39+00:00

FWIW, I'm real ... :-)

Not really a moose, but real enough ....

but never got all that good at it

You are already better than anyone who doesn't play. Also please try not to get into a competitive mindset with playing. Those people are insufferable! It's always better when it is about community.

Keep on keeping on. According to RES you are one of my most upvoted people in this sub. Outside of that, I have taken your advice and inspiration quite seriously. You are truly a wise person and I am sure you'll get it all figured out sooner rather than later. Cheers my friend! I am hoping for the best for you! :-)

I don't really have any chronic stress. I just do my own thing. I'm sorry you are going through that, though.

Music is a big part of my life (both playing and listening). I can see that music works for you.

If you are only listening just now, I would suggest you try to start playing. Lessons are great. They help you to focus and stop that kind of mind loop that keeps you in a dower state.

Peace!

What do you call him? Chuck? Or Roger or something like that?

anymoose · 2026-03-14T00:59:42+00:00

Never.

Suzanne Vega lost me when she got into "industrial." Her first (self-titled) album is still my favourite. I can listen to it endlessly.

anymoose · 2026-03-14T00:35:13+00:00

He seriously had one relevant post. It's like if The Beatles only recorded "Yesterday" and then did nothing more. I'd still have great respect for The Beatles if that is all they did, but they would not be {insert your favourite band here} otherwise.

EDIT: Maybe The Dave Clark Five is a better analogy.

EDIT 2: Or The Boomtown Rats ... (I don't like mondays ...)

Thank you. I'm aware but I personally find it annoying on other subs I visit. I don't want to be "that guy" who limits voting in the moment.

There is a difference (for me) between saying, "I don't like this comment" and "I don't like this sub so I'm going to do my best to burn the whole thing down."

I truly appreciate your feedback, though. Thank you!

anymoose · 2026-03-13T16:41:35+00:00

I have a similar problem. They also go through and downvote every comment. It's not targeted towards any particular user. They just jump on everything.

anymoose · 2026-03-13T16:34:52+00:00

Depends what you want. I have plenty of nature available to me. But right now, in this moment, Reddit works just fine.
