It all passed away
Leaving a radio corpse,
and lifeless music
Paul Simon inspired this Haiku so here’s something by him.

Haiku – Volcano
A song by Buffett
Recorded on Montserrat
Concert favorite
“Volcano” is a song performed by American popular music singer-songwriter Jimmy Buffett. It was written by Jimmy Buffett, Keith Sykes, and Harry Dailey and released as a single (b/w “Stranded On A Sandbar”) on MCA 41161 in November 1979.
It was first released on his 1979 album Volcano. It reached #66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #43 on the Easy Listening chart.
The song and album are named for the then-dormant Soufrière Hills volcano on the island of Montserrat in the British West Indies where Buffett recorded the album in May 1979 at AIR Studios. The studio was destroyed by Hurricane Hugo in 1989 and Soufrière Hills erupted again in 1995.

Poem – Take It To The Limit
Listening to music
with my wife and son
Nostalgia
Rushes over me
in a musical wave
I almost can’t take the flow
the speed
as it rushes
washing me down
I’m caught in the undertow
I give in
I let it take me
I float
I drift
On a sea of Time
Thinking back
Memories
cruising days
What happened?
Where’s that magic track?
The one that will take us back
When music was –
friends
buds
and
suds
Records
Tapes
CD’s
my youth
rushed by so fast
I hope my son
will have memories
like mine
Oh Nostalgia
I love you so
Yes,
Take it to the limit one more time
Now it’s your turn. Flood my comment section below with bands or songs that take you back. Give me a reason why if you want. You don’t have to though. Sometimes the artist or song alone will tell the tale.
