Default Re: Gibb Nova vintage day 2 pic's

"Homesick" is on Atlanta Rhythm Sections's album "Quinella" which came out in '81 or so. It got pretty regular airplay in Minneapolis on the AOR/classic rock stations throughout the '80s. Its one of their harder rocking tunes. Kind of an anomoly, like Bread's "Mother Freedom" (one of my favorite harder rock guitar songs, by a predominantly soft-rockin' band).

Amen to the Charlie Daniels' comment. How did a guy who wrote "Long Haired Country Boy" and the southern hippie anthem "Uneasy Rider" evolve into a fairly obstinate right wing reactionary?

The cool thing about some race cars is that they have an evolutionary history, and you can pick the era you like best, or perhaps mix and match some elements from different eras.

Maybe this Nova didn't turn into a clown car until "Day 13", maybe it was tastefully campaigned for a time ala copo-2's pic. I could see doing it up with period bolt-ons and Cragars.
