There are so many that take me back

Oh, there are so many, but Stairway to Heaven is one near the top.  I was in my early ’20’s and we were at the Poison Apple in downtown Silvis.  Yes, it was kind of a disco joint, but they played it.  This bar had a 3 am license, so it was a late night hangout.

I had every one of their albums and saw them in concert in Chicago with Peggy and Jeanie.  I remember it was indoors.

I loved the Allman Brothers too, I have all my life.  Jessica is a favorite.  That piano is just tremendous.  I heard it first in high school and saw them in concert in Iowa City with Drew and Jimmy.

And then, Eric Clapton and his band Derek and the Dominos with Layla.  It may be the best song ever recorded.
