Hideaway

America's Hideaway turns 50 today -- the third to be produced by the legendary George Martin. It was recorded at the famed Caribou Ranch in Colorado .. in February of '76. Probably why they went to Hawaii for the next album Harbor. #america #hideaway #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #70srock #rockmusic #georgemartin #folkrock #poprock #deweybunnell #gerrybuckley #danpeek

I'm a day late! Happy Asexuality Awareness Day!

I thought I'd share a relic from my high school years with a track from a 7" from a hometown band that was equal parts Devo, Cars, and Talking Heads.
