This Sunday is Father’s Day so it will be nice to put aside all the important concerns of this time for a moment to celebrate love and family.

This weekend’s music thread is for songs about fathers, songs about good men, good deeds, personal heroes, children and of course, love.

Now it’s your turn to musically celebrate fathers for all they do (except hogging the TV remote).

I love my dad but not everyone had the same experience.

This is a picture of me with my dad. He brought me up with The Rolling Stones, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Kinks, John Prine, Dire Straits, all that – so whilst not “dad related lyrically” you may see some of that. I called him today, I love my dad even though I know he’s in his 70s. And I still think he’s lame for not being into the Doors or King Crimson.

Why is Judy Collins (My Father’s Eyes) missing?

Once, I lived in Ohio. On a farm. Forty some years ago. I had a set of Bose speakers that hung from the ceiling, and a Bose amp that was ‘state of the art’. The vinyl I probably listened to the most was Collins, and this song was the best.

Sadly, the ‘new’ medium doesn’t even come close to capturing the exquisite sound of Collins in that album. Still, the muffled residue let’s you know the genius behind the lyric.
