Today's Tidbit

I'm never sure what dated facts might present themselves when I post tidbits. Yet I always seem to find something that falls on those days that I'd consider representative of me or my interests [former or otherwise].

On this day in 1972 Neil Young went to No.1 on the US album charts with "Harvest". This album featured the hit single "heart of gold". Who hasn't heard this song at a campfire at one time in their life or another? Well that and the song "Old Man" also from this album.
Neil Young is Mr. Canada himself but ironically I'm pretty sure he's been living in the same ranch somewhere near San Jose, California that he bought with the money he earned off this very album and yet is still considered one of Canada's most iconic figures.

Here are both songs. Enjoy them like I did revisiting them.

This version of "heart of gold" was played live before it was even recorded. Here's Neil working it out on stage [after fumbling with his gear a for a couple of minutes].



Now here is "Old man" from what I think is the same live concert.

Steak

The Holy Trinity of steak dinners. Steak, Baked Potato and Corn on the Cob. Really didn't need the hp sauce though. More and more I prefer without and just with the natural flavors of the meat with course ground black pepper and maybe some salt.

Indoor cooking can still taste great.

Pink Floyd's album "Dark Side Of The Moon" was released in the US on this day in 1973. This definitely bares mentioning. Here's the entire album on tap!

Sausage

Plain and simple. Sometimes that's the best way too.

On this day in 1970 Simon and Garfunkel began a ten week run at No.1 on the US charts with "Bridge over Troubled Water." Ironically the duo had already split-up by the time of it's release. Not actually one of my favorite songs from this duo but it is iconic and obviously timely.
