Things could have been so different for Charlie if he'd made it in the music biz. One of his songs was actually covered by the Beach Boys. Here's the original and the Beach Boys cover version

I have stuck tightly to the 1970 and west coast rule.

I think it's really important, just to enjoy good music. People get hung up on genre, okay, but hung up on geography?!? Man! that's just lame.

T'was a man of youthful features
T'was a boy of sorrowful eyes
Watching out by looking inward
Tall and stately and full of life

In his life, he spoke but rarely
In his mind he cried for light
Painting perceptions trying to capture
That which he saw in his questioning strife

Once in Lisbon, twice in London
Travelling around for all of his time
Looking for and finding a goddess
He took Diana to be his wife

Of the children, they'd begotten
Two had died without knowing life
And the third I know not whereof
But if she lives, she will yet be kind

Casey had a mark of simple value
He had a star between his eyes
In his hands he held an axe blade
The Greek symbol of thunder and fire

On a night when the heavens were crying
He went out and took his blade
Chopping wood to warm his heartside
The lightning came and my brother died

Lots of stuff a bit on the mainstream side, eh? (nice, some of it, though).

Fever Tree sounds genuine west coast to me.................

Too mainstream, eh?

This was one of my favourite albums of my teenage years ... decidedly not a pop classic, but very West Coast

Fair point. I'd forgotten about them; never one of my favourites, but certainly bang-on in terms of esoteric 60's west coast psychedelia.

This thread can never be complete without Jackson Browne's 'I thought I was a child'.
