The debut album by Lake was released in 1977 (in North America), and I picked it up in 1980, or 1981 - I can't remember exactly, but it was my senior year of high school. The first time I heard of the band was when I bummed a ride with a buddy when our art class went on a field trip. This was when you could still load up a car and drive off the school lot. Anyway, he had a cassette copy of the album, and he really liked the song "Jesus Came Down" which was odd to me as he swore like a sailor with Tourette's syndrome. Anyway it was a bit of a drive (these things are relative in a small town) and I got to hear most of the album, and true to his word "Jesus Came Down" was indeed a pretty awesome song. In fact it was a really solid album, and I played it a lot, and over time I'd end up with a few of their albums. I play the second album as much - although I've not heard it in over forty years, and their third album Paradise Island I really liked too. Od...
A place where I just blather on about shit that I either miss, or am excited about. Or I could just be deliberately trying to waste your time. I generally really don't know what I'm talking about. Sometimes I do. Sometimes this is like a stream of consciousness brain dump. I like to think of it as a reaction video, without the video ... mostly though it's just me rambling ... it's meanderambling. #oldenoughtoforget
