"And it's Alabama left Alabama right"

Ugh, no! It's "alaman left, alaman right!" Jeeze, it's a square dance call,
not an alphabetic state roll call!

Actually, it's "allemande" ... you pronounce the "de" like a contraction...
allemand'

Geiger had a great uncle who was a well-known square and rounder caller,

Yeah. It's got those brilliantly arranged, psychedelic-sounding
backing vocals; evocative lyrics; an extremely passionate lead vocal;
and that simple but absolutely badass recurring guitar part. I love
it!

Yeah, I like Gordon Lightfoot.

Joni Mitchell's early stuff is good too. I've read that a lot of
Zeppelin's acoustic stuff in the early-to-mid 70s was inspired by her.

Stan's got my vote, and I'd like to add his brother Garnet to the list.
