“Take Me To The River
Lyrics: Al Green, Mabon Hodges
Music: Al Green, Mabon Hodges
Notes: This was originally written and recorded by Al Green, though it is perhaps better known from the subsequent recording by Talking Heads. Played by Bob Weir with Ratdog throughout the 1990s, and briefly with the Grateful Dead in 1995.”

My only defense: it was very late at night by the time i finished that blog!

PS: How's that building site going next to you? Bit noisy down there?
