This was the year I became a serious music fan...the music bug really bit me in a big way in 1970. I bought my first 45 (Van Morrison's Domino, in November 1970) and I've been a music fanatic ever since.

I love those Nesmith National band albums, all of them ... I missed them somehow

 

"Joanne" was one of the songs that REALLY caught my attention (and I was not a Monkees fan at the time). Also loved his follow up song "Silver Moon" which came out later in the year and "Nevada Fighter" which came out the following year...I currently have his first 4 albums on CD, they're fantastic.

I first heard "Joanne" when I was on vacation with my family at Yosemite National Park. I would sit by the Merced River with my Dad's portable AM/FM radio and when "Joanne" would come on it perfectly reflected the pastoral vibe I was getting from the beautiful natural surroundings.
