    In 1972 I dropped out of college, parked my Mach 1 Mustang and hitchhiked across the US. I was hoping to get to Oregon, but it was February - March and the weather stopped me. Spent a couple of week camped in the desert outside Tucson. When I got my first ride back to Miami, the tune on the radio was - A Horse With No Name

    I'm preparing to perform this song for a dying friend. It was one of the very first songs I learned to sing and play guitar with. He introduced the song to me a little over fifty years ago, and I could never get it out of my head after that. I'm giving it back to him for the trip home. May this simple gift carry you there. Travel well, my dear friend, George Martinez.

    Lyrics
    On the first part of the journey
    I was looking at all the life
    There were plants and birds and rocks and things
    There was sand and hills and rings
    The first thing I met was a fly with a buzz
    And the sky with no clouds
    The heat was hot, and the ground was dry
    But the air was full of sound
    I've been through the desert
    On a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert, you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    After two days in the desert sun
    My skin began to turn red
    After three days in the desert fun
    I was looking at a river bed
    And the story it told of a river that flowed
    Made me sad to think it was dead
    You see I've been through the desert
    On a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert, you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    After nine days, I let the horse run free
    'Cause the desert had turned to sea
    There were plants and birds and rocks and things
    There was sand and hills and rings
    The ocean is a desert with it's life underground
    And a perfect disguise above
    Under the cities lies a heart made of ground
    But the humans will give no love
    You see I've been through the desert
    On a horse with no name
    It felt good to be out of the rain
    In the desert, you can remember your name
    'Cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain
    La, la, la, la, la, la
    La, la, la, la, la, la

    "It’s a calming thing, to learn there’s a word for something you’ve felt all your life but didn’t know was shared by anyone else. It’s even oddly empowering-to be reminded that you’re not alone, you’re not crazy, you’re just an ordinary human being trying to make your way through a bizarre set of circumstances."

    I'm 62 years old. That song is for the ages. And I was raised in the Southwest. Ah yes the free spirit that we of that time hold within us.

    April 17th for me. Exactly 3 months from my birthday. I'll be 68. I always loved America. And their songs that I listened to before this one were Tin Man and Ventura Highway. They brought back so many wonderful memories. For a reason that I can't explain, Ventura Highway is my favorite.
