I realized that I posted this entry without music.  Lately I've been listening to my Dillard and Clark CD, so I'll post a link to a few songs from that album.

"No Longer a Sweetheart of Mine" is not by Gene Clark, but it has been going through my head these days, so let's begin with it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0mQtl70ghXw

I can't remember if I've posted "Kansas City Southern," which Clark wrote:

"Why Not Your Baby" is also by Clark, and it's the saddest song in the world: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TQ6PYS2Q0I

Their cover of "Don't Let Me Down" has begun to grow on me:

I'll finish with one of Dillard and Clark's gospel numbers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnxEGjK-XVU
