Last song for this August 7th Music Interlude with a song by Jackson Brown circa 1979 titled "Running On Empty" - LIVE!!!
"Clyde Jackson Browne (born October 9, 1948) is an American rock musician, singer, songwriter, and political activist who has sold over 18 million albums in the United States.
Emerging as a teenage songwriter in mid-1960s Los Angeles, he had his first successes writing songs for others, writing "These Days" as a 16-year-old; the song became a minor hit for the German singer and Andy Warhol protégé Nico in 1967. He also wrote several songs for fellow Southern California bands the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band (of which he was briefly a member in 1966) and the Eagles, the latter of whom had their first Billboard Top 40 hit in 1972 with the Browne co-written song "Take It Easy"."
It would be the 1977 album Running on Empty, however, that would be his signature work, peaking at number 3 on the album chart, and remaining there for over a year. Both a live album and a concept album, the songs on the album explore the themes of life as a touring musician, and the album was recorded both on stage, and in places touring musicians spend time when not playing, such as hotel rooms, backstage, and in one case on a moving tour bus. The album produced two Top 40 singles, "Running on Empty" and "The Load-Out/Stay"!" - Wikipedia.com
Wishing you all a great Monday Evening!!!

Oh you're definitely on a roll! Can't count the times we hummed this song when we missed an aerial refueling and were looking for alternates. :-))

Hey, just an FYI. I'm having some sort of an issue with RP. Can't do any original posts, tag anyone, add images, or share links as n original post. I can do all that as a response to or comments on a post, not sure what's going on but SSG Carlos Madden is looking into it. Discovered that I had the same issue with a different device in the dentist waiting room this afternoon.
Along that line here's what would have been tonight's Sunset Report:
Nightly sunset report: 90 with 69% humidity and 79° dewpoint in Tampa at 1829.
