    You didn't know But I Might Die Tonight or On The Road To Find Out from Tea For The Tillerman? 'Road' was another highlight.

    I think I may have got a bit of recognition during Sitting because I love the structure of that song and had my arm up 'conducting' to it which is when he looked my way (I was in Row 11).

    No, I never owned that album.

    Good for you for the recognition!

    Glad you enjoyed the concert, FP! I like the old stuff, but I'm not familiar with the newer tracks. He has a wonderful voice though. I'm sure I would enjoy them.

    I need help and what better place to get it than from you guys that have posted in this thread.

    My niece loves MY love of music (she's the one that gave me the book, Your Life In Playlist) and tries her best to stump me and gives me little projects of CD's to do, etc.... She got me this time. Apparently her FIL is a Cat Stevens fan and she wants a cd made of his stuff for him. I need suggestions on what I should put on it. What were his biggest hits? The obscure good stuff? I really haven't any idea past Moonshadow, Peace Train & Morning Has Broken, I don't know any others of his really.

    While I'm waiting for you guys to help me, I'll work on my other project she gave me of J Geils stuff.

    It's my pleasure to revive this thread in honor of Cat Stevens being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yesterday. I won't tell the story of how I fell for Cat Stevens again - it's right here if you want to read through this thread. Suffice it to say that I've always liked his music and love his 70's look. I've never seen a better specimen of a man. Lol.

    I watched his entire speech on YouTube and have to say that I wasn't too impressed with it. It seemed to wander aimlessly at times, but since I'm a fan I hung in there with it. But this is the video I was happy to find - his performance of Peace Train - not only my favorite Cat Stevens song but one of my favorite songs of all time. Whenever I hear that guitar intro I am filled with hope. I love it!

    Seeing him live gave me a whole new appreciation for him. I think I'll purchase some songs off of emusic. I see everyone's favorites, and that should help me decide which ones to download!
