God I love Steve Winwood!

[supernova]

She bathes me in sweetness I cannot reveal
For sharing dreams I need my woman
This humble expression meagerly dressed
My eyes so mean it has no meaning

But jealous night and all her secret chords
I must be deaf on the telephone I need my love to translate

I play the piano no more running honey
This time to the sky I’ll sing if clouds don’t hear me
To the sun I’ll cry and even if I’m blinded
I’ll try moon gazer because with you I’m stronger
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here

This time to the sky I’ll sing if clouds don’t hear me
To the sun I’ll cry and even if I’m blinded
I’ll try moon gazer because with you I’m stronger

Lean streaky music spawned on the streets I hear it but with you I had to go
’cause my rock ’n’ roll is putting on weight and the beat it goes on
Arc of a diver effortlessly, my mind in sky and when I wake up
Daytime and nighttime I feel you near
Warm water breathing she helps me here

With you my love we’re going to raid the future
With you my love we’re going to stick up the past
We’ll hold today to ransom ’til our quartz clock stop until yesterday

1. I like him best with the Spencer davis Group

that shit rocks

[supernova]

2. Well, yes,

I'm Am Man, yea I am, yes, I am , yes I am..."

But arc of diver has special meaning for me.

[Zuni]

3. Man, now I have an earworm for some hard blues organ

[supernova]

4. Lol! That farfisa will get you every time!

:D

[Zuni]

13. I canb't decide if I like the farfisa or the Hammond organ better

Booker T Jones of Booker T and the MGs and the Stax Records memphis House band sure sounds good on the Hammond, but the Farfisa has that rawness...like in 96 Tears by ? and the Mysterians

7. I actually saw him in concert during the Arc of a Diver tour

Great show. He mostly played keyboard, but played some pretty good guitar on a few tunes.

[supernova]

8. Oh man, I would love to see that

He's just amazing.

14. I loved the Arc of a Diver album.

That must have been a great show.

17. Actually, from "song facts":

Jim Capaldi started writing this in Morocco, where he was getting ready for a movie with actor Michael J. Pollard that never got made. Said Capaldi: "Pollard and I would sit around writing lyrics all day, talking about Bob Dylan and the Band, thinking up ridiculous plots for the movie. Before I left Morocco, Pollard wrote in my book 'The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys.' For me, it summed him up. He had this tremendous rebel attitude. He walked around in his cowboy boots, his leather jacket. At the time he was a heavy little dude. It seemed to sum up all the people of that generation who were just rebels. The 'Low Spark,' for me, was the spirit, high-spirited. You know, standing on a street corner. The low rider. The 'Low Spark' meaning that strong undercurrent at the street level."

12. He was born in Birmingham England

And has lived in the UK ever since.

[TNDemo]

18. He lives here now. He married a Nashville girl.

They split time between here and there.

15. WHy no DVD's of WInwood during any of his phases?

No Spenser Davis
No Traffic
No Steve Winwood solo?

Why? They release so much damned crap on DVD, but no Winwood...Why?

[supernova]

16. Good question.

I'd buy it.

20. I loved Traffic esp. "Hole in My Shoe"
