HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIMON!
Simon Crowe's birthday is this Sunday, April 14th! Everyone, this weekend keep everything Crowe and Crow coming in! Do you have pictures of Simon you've taken? Post them here! Do you have a story to tell from meeting Simon? Share it here! Thoughts you'd like to share about his playing? Please do! If It's Crowe, We Want To Know!
Have you taken great photos of crows? Have a poem or a song about a crow that you love? We'd love to read or hear it, too!
Everything you see on Citizens Of Boomtown this weekend, Simon Crowe, is a way of saying:
🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU! 🎉
In your honor, I send you one of my favorite songs ~ Marty Stuart's "The Observations Of A Crow"! This is a favorite song of Bob Dylan's, also. As Marty Stuart tells the story:
"I took him to my warehouse to see all the country music treasures I have & Bob said, 'Hey, I like that 'Crow' song. I might borrow something out of that.' I said, "Well, I probably borrowed it from you in the first place. Go ahead. "
Just beneath the photos above is the link to the studio version of "The Observations Of A Crow" from Marty's extraordinary 1999 concept album, "The Pilgrim" and just below is the link to a great live performance from the Marty Stuart Show. This is an incredibly dramatic, incredibly well~written song (it's where the verses have been coming from in my recent Simon Crowe posts)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SIMON!
