Thinking about the "Carpenters" We've Only Just Begun, I later realize that the song was written by Paul Williams. Thinking about Paul Williams I realize he wrote one of my favorite songs, Three Dog Nights "Out in the Country" It is propably one of my all time favorite songs. I was wondering if he ever recorded it and he did, cause I just listened to it on youtube. In the future I'm going to try to say, "I really like that song Out in the Country" written by Paul Williams, popularized by Three Dog Night. I don't know if anyone ever saw a Family Guy episode where becomes enthralled with Anne Murray's Songbird. The dog calls him a wuss, then he falls in love with the song. They go to Anne's house to talk about what the song is about and she says you could go talk to Gene Macallen, he's the one that wrote it. They get really pissed at her! Around here on Akron's The Summit they play Big Yellow Taxi fairly frequently, about two thirds of the time by Counting Crows and one third of the time by Joni. Usually they credit Joni when they play CC. Yesterday they played Joni's and later the dj said ".. and we heard Joni Mitchell singing about her checkered past with Big Yellow Taxi" which I found amusing. They sometimes play Chelsea Morning, and that's it. I'm just trying to have less confusion in the world.
