Were they a fan of Gene’s or of Carla already? Clearly they expected or hoped for something memorable to come of that collaboration that night? It is amazing how one person’s thoughtfulness on the night can echo loudly down the years that followed. Perhaps they were a friend or acquaintance of the guitarist Duane? Why else would they give a tape of the night to him rather than to either Gene or Carla? Can Saul shed any more light on this story? This song is such a heartbreaker. 😔😭 Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07281160997396670314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3337826530288424799.post-50606326510482837992020-02-04T03:33:37.377-05:002020-02-04T03:33:37.377-05:00Hey Tom,
I haven't read Rogan's books, so ...Hey Tom,<br />I haven't read Rogan's books, so I hadn't heard that story about the cassette of the McCabe's show. I also didn't know Saul was married to Carla. I would think it would be a standard practice for McCabe's to tape all their shows, but it sounds like it wasn't/isn't or surely Saul would have known about it. So, serendipity! Re Fire Burning, it's a stunning song but filled with so much sorrow. It is obviously autobiographical, so I felt uneasy listening to it initially.<br /><br />Re Polly in your top 50, It is not one of Gene's more profound songs, but it has a captivating melody and sets a great mood of longing. It is one of my favorites.<br /><br />I look forward to your other Fire Burning posts.<br /><br />best regards,<br />Skipskipwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17609283090397516995noreply@blogger.com
