A great choice. The song written about here, is indeed, a fine example of Rod Stewart's heartfelt emotion in his work. Thanks for sharing. I am enjoying this series that you are presenting.

Oh my goodness you are certainly bringing back lots of memories here with these songs and old cockney boy Rod Stewart made himself famous with his gravelly voice and special lyrics. A fun post Sally, love Dolly x

Happy Mother's Day, Sal!

This song, sung so well by Rod Stewart in honor of soldiers who served in Vietnam, certainly is worthy of inclusion on your list. I was not familiar with it, as I did not listen to much music during the years following my "Icy Blind Curve Encounter" (1990) because of the series of calamities occurring in my life through 2003 when my mother broke her hip and died just short of age ninety. Accordingly, thank you for introducing me to it via this post and the included video, which illustrates it well and has a happy ending rare in such circumstances. (Some of my own old friends came home unscathed, but others did not.)

You are most fortunate to have the home full of love that you do with Jackson.

    You are most welcome, Sal. Though I recognize the singers in your countdown list of favorites so far, none of the songs have been on my own list because mine are mostly from the 1950s-60s, which you might not even know existed. (Maybe I should give you links to some of the best ones, as that kind of music is rare now.) I'll keep reading your posts in this series anyway, as you might surprise me with more that resonate, like this one. -- Mike

Fabulous art! Delightful reminiscence--no need to use the P-word (poignant) he's alive and rocking. My favorite is Hot Legs! I am hopelessly low-brow.

Ah, Rod Stewart. That brings back some memories. For some reason my ex-husband wouldn't let me own one of his records. After I got away from him I bought one. Love that song.

Excellent choice, Sally. Rod Stewart is always a favourite, and with his wonderful ballads and terrific delivery, he is one to never be missed on the hit parade.

Just a couple of typos here:

and I'm filled once again with the apprection (appreciation) of the soil and the people I call home.

I'll be sailin'
Photographs, kerosine (kerosene)

Excellent work, and I can't wait for the next. :))

    Thank you for the excellent review and typo catch. Appreciation was mine; kerosene was from the lyricist I copied and pasted online. I thought it was the European spelling. LOL! You're a gem. Thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed my Rod Stewart song. It's a sweet one.

You did a good job with this song, Sally. I like the images you included, the lyrics to the song with their special meaning, and how much it meant to you. Your jukebox hits has many favorites of the 60's that many will identify with. RStewart wasn't on my list, although he is a good musician and has raked in the $$$$$.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

My Sweet Friend, Sally:

First, Happy Mother's Day. I was about to tell you I did not know this particular Rod Stewart song until I played the accompanying music video (thanks for prompting my memory). Now I remember that it was popular during my brother's second tour of duty in Vietnam.

Thanks for sharing.

Jan

Thank you for sharing this. I didn't even know that Rod Stewart was British. You're teaching me lots about the music world of our generation, Sally! Of course, home is the best - because that's where you have poured your love into your family and the Lord shelters us with His Love. Hope you were especially blessed today!
