For me with Jim's sad song category, it has to be "Old Tigh" recorded on march 21, 1961. Thank you Even for the mention. After losing our beloved Golden Retriever Nicholas, many years ago, I couldn't listen to this song for a long time. It was just that powerful. I sense Jim never wanted anyone to be upset, but simply to search the human soul to tell us what's important in life and reflect on the treasures we already have.

Two other songs in my opinion would be "When You Are Gone' and of course "Where Do I Go To Throw A Picture Away", Jim's iconic heart wrenching recording done on feb.1,1962. For me it will always invoke a feeling of a lost soul looking for a reply to a question that has no answer. And again, at the end of the song, you get a feeling no all is lost. Things will get better.

An honorary mention to "The Night Watch', "The Blizzard" and how about "Wreck Of The Number".

Wow Bob, this is a very good conversation along with the 'whistle' post. Thank you for this and perhaps you could add more to your thoughtful listings in the future. Certainly garnered much needed conversation. And a special thank you to everyone that posted lately on Bob's thread, with exceptionally great song suggestions.
