Song of the Day: 'Sentimental Lady' by Bob Welch



Sad to read the follow-up on Bob Welch that he shot himself because he didn't want to be a burden to his wife. Must have been in an enormous amount of pain to make such a decision. The Associated Press inexplicably played up Fleetwood Mac's success after he left the band in his obituary, but his "Sentimental Lady" is one of those quintessential '70s songs that I will always love -- and the video (with its now-eerie ending) is just a bowl away from a key party!

  

 The song was originally recorded for Fleetwood Mac's 1972 album, "Bare Trees." Have a listen -- Christine McVie helps out on the chorus!:

Are you speaking of the big bowl the keys go in, or the small one attached to the "water pipe"?
