Sandman, America 1971

[Rene Asologuitar]

America is the debut studio album by America, released in 1971. It was initially released without "A Horse with No Name", which was released as a single in late 1971. When "A Horse with No Name" became a worldwide hit in early 1972, the album was re-released with that track.

The album went to No. 1 on the Billboard album chart in the United States and stayed there for five weeks.
Sandman is the second track in that album, "Sandman" (long-rumored to be about the United States Navy VQ-2 air squadron formerly based in Rota, Spain).

This song is dedicated to all our Airmen and Flyers of the US Navy.
For their bravery and commitment to our freedom and democracy!!!

Hi buckoff,

We do a lot of recycling in music.

Charlie Parker and Roberty Johnson are both musical heroes of. mine, and glad that you mentioned them.

Like what you said earlier in another post, Country Music is here to stay!!!

Love your comments.

Thank you for your forum involvement!

Respectfully,

Rene

If only I can have the skillset to flip things around and recycler a classic, that would be great.

Standing by to "more to it"....

Warm regards,

Rene

Hi buckoff.

One hit!

I am not going to be greedy, only one small hit song.

Not even a classic.

That would not beat the greats, hahahahaha.

Respectfully,

Hi buckoff,

I do hope we do not go homeless.

Let's keep on trying, that is clinging on to hope!

Keep on creating!!!
