    Thanks for the links Smiley, those were great.

    I totally dig Neil, such a great entertainer. I've never had the chance to see him but from the concert footage I've seen he really knows how to hold an audience. My wife and I always sing September Morn to each other as our little joke, really putting an emphasis on the September Morn part.

    Other favorites are Love On The Rocks, Brother Love's Travelling Salvation Show, I Am I Said and Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon.

    Edit: I need to pick up his latest album. After hearing Rick Rubin's production work on Johnny Cash, I'm assuming his work with Neil is pretty amazing.

    I get a lot of weird looks from people when they browse through my music collection because I often have artists you wouldn't find together right next to each other. I've always like Neil Diamond and have quite a few of his cds (and a few on vinyl too). I've never had the opportunity to see him live though.

    My favorites from him are Forever in Blue Jeans, Song Sung Blue, America, Sweet Caroline.

    Those were great! I Love Will Ferrell.

    Neil Diamond reminds me of my father. When I was a kid my family took a trip to Kentucky. We listened to his greatest hits Cd all the way. I LOVE Sweet Caroline!

    Edit: LOL! I said CD!!! LMAO! It was an 8 track... Wow. that really says a lot, doesn't it?

    Ooooh! I have been a Neil Diamond fan since 1969! I loved him from the first song I ever heard. DH and I saw one of his concerts lonnng ago at the Cow Palace in San Francisco.

    Although I have many, many favourites, the one that tops them all is "I'm Alive", which hit my heart after surviving four life-threatening surgeries. It is not one of his best known hits, so I will put the lyrics below. I think you will see what I mean.

    I'm Alive

    Take a walk,

    You can hardly breathe the air

    Look around,

    It's a hard life everywhere

    People talk,

    But they never really care

    On the street

    There's a feeling of despair

    But everyday

    There's a brand new baby born

    And everyday

    There's the sun to keep you warm

    And it's all right

    Yeah, it's all right

    I'm alive

    And I don't care much for words of doom

    If it's love you need,

    Well I've got the room

    It's a simple thing

    That came to me when I found you

    I'm alive

    I'm alive

    Every night

    On the streets of Hollywood

    Pretty girls

    Want to give you something good

    Love for sale,

    It's a lonely town at night

    Therapy

    For a heart misunderstood

    But look around,

    There's a a flower on every street

    Look around,

    And, it's growing at your feet

    And everyday you can hear me say

    That I'm alive

    I wanna take all that life has got to give

    All I need is someone to share it with

    I've got love

    And love is all I really need to live

    I'm alive

    I'm alive

    And everyday

    There's a brand new baby born

    And everyway

    There's enough to keep you warm

    And it's okay

    And I'm glad to say

    That I'm alive

    And I don't care much for words of doom

    If it's love you got ,well I've got the room

    It's a simple thing

    That came to me when I found you

    I'm alive

    I'm alive

    I wanna take all that life has got to give

    All I need is someone to share it with

    I've got love

    And love is all I really need to live

    I'm alive

    I'm alive

    And I don't care much for words of doom

    If it's love you need,

    Well I've got the room

    It's a simple thing that came to me

    And thank God I'm alive

    I can take all that life has got to give

    If I got someone to share it with

    I got love and love is all you really need

    I'm alive
