I was working on a new music post … a song mentioned by two different friends tonight in comments … but exhaustion has overtaken me and I just cannot finish it tonight, so stay tuned tomorrow.  Meanwhile, I dug this one out of my archives from 2018, dusted it off a bit, and … good as new!  This was one I played shortly after I started doing these music posts, as you will see … 

I started posting music a couple of weeks ago as a way to get rid of some extreme angst at that moment.  I figured I would do it for a day or two, a week at the most.  But I am having so much fun with this that I’m not ready to give it up yet!  You guys have made this so much fun with your comments and shared memories, that I now look forward to finding just the right song every night right before going to bed.  So, for now I keep doing it, and I hope you’ll all forgive me for the occasional bad choice.

Written by John Fogerty and performed by Credence Clearwater Revival, Lodi was released in April 1969 as the flip side of Bad Moon Rising.  Lodi is a small agricultural town in California’s Central Valley about 70 miles from Fogerty’s hometown of Berkeley.  A bunch of people (Tesla, Emmylou Harris, Amy Ray, Shawn Colvin, Tom Jones, Buck Owens, Jeffrey Foucault, The Flying Burrito Brothers, Ronnie Hawkins, Smokie, Dan Penn, Al Wilson, The Blue Aeroplanes, Tim Armstrong, FIDLAR, Freddie King, the Italian band Stormy Six, Bo Diddley, and Eric Church) have recorded this, but my favourite will always remain CCR.  And by the way … The Flying Burrito Brothers???  Seriously???
