Footnotes to Plato from the foothills of the Superstition Mountains

Saturday Night at the Oldies: Leaving, Good Bye, Farewell

Lynn Anderson, Red River Valley. A very satisfying version. Stevie Nicks' effort is a bit overdone.  A spare Woody Guthrie version.  Classic Americana. No Woody, no Ramblin' Jack Elliot, no Dylan.

Bob Dylan, Farewell.  

Oscar Isaac and Marcus Mumford, Fare Thee Well. Fabulous.

Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, What's So Good About Goodbye?

Paul McCartney, I'll Follow the Sun

Red Sovine, Farewell, So Long, Goodbye.  Probably better known for his Phantom 309.

Ramblin' Jack Elliot, So Long, It's Been Good to Know You

Everly Bros., Bye Bye Love

Muddy Waters, Baby Please Don't Go. Mick Jagger and the boys show up.

Ray Charles, Hit the Toad Road, Jack  "You can't mean that!"

Shawn Colvin, You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go. Dylan tune.

Peter, Paul, and Mary, Leavin' on a Jet Plane
