Digger The Dog




I will never forget the reactions of other (real) dogs when they saw some kid playing with this (ranging from snarling to outright bewilderment....)

"Took The Last Train" David Gates (1978)


It happened sometimes on a lonely stretch of highway in Eastern Washington State.....Well, hell, Anywhere in the sticks of America back in the early 1980s. You'd grumble through how the then sparse FM radio dial tuning knob was back then and suddenly, somewhere, THIS song comes over some random soft rock FM frequency.....

And all you remember is you heard this song somewhere before. But you just can't remember WHO that what's-his-butt was who sang it was....

Yes, it's David Gates. The "If A Face Can Sink A Thousand Ships (Or as whatever we used to joke around it as)" David Gates. The same guy who we will always associate with the eternally sleepy sounding '70s pop group Bread. It was his first solo hit.

If you remember radio from back in the day, just play the whole song and see if the familiarity bug doesn't bite...
