Dan Gould Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 This has already been noted and commented on. The bottom line seems to be that Alan is very busy with other things right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the words of those immortal hair-metal bards Cinderella, "Don't know what you've got till it's gone." Actually, I think this was coined by Chicago, in "Hard Habit to Break", their first step down the slippery slope to Hades, I mean Adult Contemporary pablum.

Dave James Posted June 25, 2006 Report Share Posted June 25, 2006 Actually, I think it's from the Joni Mitchell song, "Big Yellow Taxi." They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its goneThey paved paradise And put up a parking lot Up over and out.

J.A.W. Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Or even, you dont miss your water till your well runs dry.... (T. Mahal) "You Don't Miss Your Water" was composed and recorded by William Bell in 1961. It's included in the wonderful 8CD-set Atlantic Rhythm & Blues 1947-1974 (Atlantic 82305-2, 1991 edition, remastered by Zal Schreiber and Steve Innocenzi).

mailman Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Hang my head in shame dept. Hans is of course correct! Give the man a coconut! I'm pretty sure that the expression 'you don't miss your water.....' was used in the blues long before William Bell's wonderful recording.

I'm pretty sure that the expression 'you don't miss your water.....' was used in the blues long before William Bell's wonderful recording. I was going to say that I am almost certain that B.B. King used the line in one of his '50s Crown recordings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim R Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 Actually, I think it's from the Joni Mitchell song, "Big Yellow Taxi." They paved paradise And put up a parking lot With a pink hotel, a boutique And a swinging hot spot Dont it always seem to go That you dont know what youve got Till its goneThey paved paradise And put up a parking lot Up over and out. Right, and this goes back to about 1969, I think (15 years before that Chicago recording). That was a huge hit, and I see that a lot of other artists have used the phrase in different songs (Janet Jackson comes up big in a Google search). I'm wondering now, though, where/when that phrase really originated (whether in song or otherwise...). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
