Lost Loves Lament La Russellec Michaels Solo Performanc by G A L L E O N ... Sail On! from Stone Mountain, Ga United States

this is a labor of love on the part of galleon leader elliott michaels and is a departure from michaels' normal songwriting approach. he borrowed snippets from several compositions of his friend and colleague l.a. russell, connected them with new parts of his own, and fashioned one great song worth hearing. this is the finest song russell has ever written, and it may well be the most important song michaels has ever written. but don't take our word for this; rather, listen to the finished product and judge for yourself. follow along with the lyrics and chords shown below. happy listening, and thank you, l.a.; without your inspiration and verance this song could not exist!
